| 2000 saturn ls1: since i have purchased this car brand new and taken it for regular maintenance i have had the following problems: several voluntary recalls, then i have had 3 actuator motors in my doors go bad (all different doors); cradle bush bearings needing replacement; front suspension linkages needing replacement; the car battery exploded; emission system malfunction. everytime i gripe to saturn they are not willing to look into, i feel like there are numerous safety concerns that should be looked into in the 2000 ls series.*ak | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2000 saturn ls1. while parked on the side of the road due to icy conditions, a semi-truck lost control while driving up an incline. the semi-truck was headed directly towards the contact's vehicle, so he jumped out of the passenger side and fell into a ditch. the semi-truck struck the front corner panel of the contact's vehicle and placed a few dents in the door. when the contact jumped out of the vehicle, all of the doors automatically locked and prevented him from re-entering. he sustained hip and minor spine injuries, for which he is currently being treated. throughout the entire incident, the air bags in the vehicle never deployed. he believes that had he remained in the vehicle with the air bag failure, he could have suffered major injuries. he called the manufacturer and was informed that nothing could be done about the vehicle. the vehicle was completely destroyed. a police report was filed. the vin was unknown. the current and failure mileages were 150,000. | |||
