2000 Saturn LS visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Front brake rotors needed to be replaced at 37,929 miles because the inside edges were worn below specification and the brake shoes would not seat properly on the rotor. The edges could not be turned or resurfaced. There was no indication of metal grinding into the rotor. Also, all four tires were replaced for uneven wear. The rear brake retainer spring broke. The rear passenger window is inoperable. There is an electrical short in the console. Consumer also claims there is play in the steering. The power steering was replaced in september of 2001. There is still vibration and play being felt in the steering. There was a bent hub which was causing the vibration.
The windshield wiper arm and blades were defective.
The windshield wipers on my saturn ls1 do not work properly. I brought the problem to the attention of the dealer one week after purchase, and they swapped the driver's side wiper with one from another new saturn ls, but offered no other solution. The blades on both sides scape the windshield, like fingernails scrapping over a countertop. The problem is worse at higher speeds, and the wipers do not clear the windshield effectively. During snowfall, the blades are virtually useless. I believe this is a design flaw; or the windshield is warped. The lack of visibility during rain and snow is a safety problem for this vehicle.
