| Purchased a used saturn l-22 in march of 2003,shortly thereafter i went into the college parking ;lot to return home from school and the steering wheel would not unlock, could not get the car to go into gear, so it sat all night, and the next day i had to have it towed back to the dealership. they fixed it so they said and again approximately 3 months later my mother who was grocery shopping had the same problem. later that night as the car sat on the supermarket lot we had to get it towed again. my mother, and i went to carfax on our computer, and found out that the mocel that we were driving had been recalled back in 2003 due to steering wheel module problems. we went back to the dealership to retrieve the car 5 days later and told the owner of the dealership what we had located on carfax, he appeared very nervous and refused to look on carfax to verify what we had told him. this same owner sold us a warranty on the vehicle but little did we know that the car was still under warranty by the manufacturer. the warranty he sold me cost $1,995 dollars, and i have been so upset over this dealerships unscrupulous practice. can someone please investigate why my life, and that of my dear mothers was put in jeopardy by this man being less then honest when this car was sold to me by his dealership, along with a bought warranty while the car was still under the manufacturers warranty. thank you for your help. *tr | |||

| The rack and pinion steering system on my saturn l200 has failed. the dealer has one in stock that costs almost $900.00. the only reason a dealer would stock a part that is this expensive is if the failure is a fairly common occurrence. *nm | |||
