| Repeated failure of the starting of my car, 2000 saturn ls2. passlock security system is the problem. for no reason at all, the security feature triggers and de-activates the fuel pump for 10 minutes. has been happening for the past two years, multiple times a month. my car has been dead in the driveway now for two days as the security feature will not de-activate. only way to fix is for a dealership to repair, but not a guaranteed fix. cost anywhere from $300 to $500 to fix. numerous blog sites contain same complaint from lots of gm owners. if anyone is put into an emergency situation and the passlock security feature fails, that person is stuck for 10 minutes or more. there is no fix to be found. gm needs to recall and fix the problem! visit this forum site for numerous complaints about the same thing i'm mentioning above: http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/chevrolet-impala/t30r7cej84ktjel1m. *tr | |||

| I own a 2000 saturn ls2. there have been 2 recalls on the l series vehicles. although my model is considered the ls series, i have experienced the exact same symptoms with my vehicle as described with the l series recall. the most recent was the replacement of all four of the oxygen sensors in my vehicle which i believe to be the same problem as described with the l series vehicle and attributed to the saturn part known as the ignition control module. over a period of about 2 months i noticed: 1. a deterioration in idle quality 2. a reduction in overall engine power 3. the engine was hard to start these are exactly the same problems experienced with the icm recall on the l series. i had to replace, at my own expense, all 4 of the oxygen sensors for this vehicle. after contacting saturn, they insisted, based on my vin #, that my car was not included in this recall. it seems rather coincidental that i have experienced the exact same symptoms as 2 recalls on the same model year car from the same manufacturer. it is my belief that the recalls should be extended to cover the ls series vehicles as well. *tr | |||
