I have a 2000 saturn ls 1 that I had bought in june 14 2012 @ the us truck & auto on us. 31 south here in traverse city michigan 49685. The salesperson's name is[xxx]. I was on craigs list looking for a reliable car and I came upon us truck & auto and wyane would not let me test drive the car and that the car is in perfect running condition until march 14,2014 my wheel came off at a stoplight getting to go on green but didn't move far. And when I got the car the dome light wasn't working and a wire had been disconnected from the daytime head lamp and burned out tail lights. Since I purchased it at a car dealership I took they had the vehicle inspected but learned later that wayne does not always have the vehicles inspected that he puts on his lots but sells lemons. He would rather sale a lemon or a vehicle that will in danger a person then to follow the laws and make sure the vehicles are road safe before he sells them. I needed a car because I have a friend that has issues with her back and legs plus we live 7 to 8 miles out of traverse city, mi and don't have much money to do much of anything right now. My friend and I love this car the engine and transmission are fairly new. We have tried to ask for help getting the car fixed from churches and other organizations but even they barely have the money to help. The buses here refuse to work for us and taxis are way to much money to take us shopping for food or doctor's appointments. Please help us get our car fixed or maybe even a different 4 cylinder car. Thank you for your time! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I wasn't in a accident thank god but I bought this car going on a year from a auction and in about 4 months ago noticed the back tail lights kept going out and then just wouldn't come back on I tried everything. Ad of 10/6/2013. I change the fuses the brake. Lights came on for one night and then went out again. So I don't know what's going on.so noticed that it was a recall on this. And I wanted.to see if I could still get it fixed on the recall because I cant drive my car like this and it need to be fixed. And didn't have this car at the time of the recall and this is serious and any other recalls on this car that need to be fixed I need it.

The saturn ls needs to be reviewed when it come to tail light, reverse, and blinker lights. I have had so many safety concerns with these lights, and not to mention costly work. There is no wiring from the light to the vehicle this makes it difficult to change the bulb. My reverse lights completely stop working, and so I did what most car owners would do, but somehow replacing a bulb does not work with these vehicles. As a buyer we should be able to maintain simple labor. For instance, changing a tail light! These light components need to be reviewed, for this is a serious safety concern for any car owner.

The 2000 saturn l-series has an existing recall for hazard warning switch assembly replacement (saturn refers to it as #00-c-03, jan. 4, 2005); however, my vehicle is outside the VIN series for that recall. Nevertheless, my vehicle exhibited the symptoms described in that recall (turn signal intermittently inoperative; hazard warning switch sometimes made a loud "buzzing" sound, especially in very cold weather); I contacted saturn; however, since vehicle was outside recall VIN range, they would not address the problem as a recall issue (I would have had to bring the vehicle in and pay for the service myself). Instead, I acquired and installed the replacement hazard warning switch from a saturn dealer and installed it according to the recall notice instructions. Since that time, the problem has not recurred.
