2000 Saturn LS 2 review from North America

I honestly do not know where to begin with this car... let me give you a little history. My grandparents bought this baby brand spanking new in May 2000. At the time, I was driving their hand me down 1996 Saturn SL2, which in all honesty was a fairly decent car. However, in 2005, that car was totaled in a wreck. So, at that time, I inherited this Saturn LS2, which should be renamed Saturn POS2.

Problems I have had with it... water pump went out TWICE in less than 18 months and I had to fight tooth and nail to get Saturn to cover it with warranty.

Sunroof leaks.

Driver's side window will NOT roll-up.

Major mechanical issues from day 1.

Leather wearing down on steering wheel leaving black, sticky residue on your hands. Leather seats also cracking and discolored.

Left taillight cover has a crack and I REFUSE to repair it because I have to replace the ENTIRE back piece, and I think that's just a load of bull.

Crankshaft Position Sensor goes bad way too frequently.

I have a power steering leak.

The A/C doesn't work.

Saturn dealership tells me the PC Valve inside the transmission needs to be replaced.

Manufacturer's defect with suspension or something causing the tires to wear prematurely. Saturn finally admitted to the defect just a few months outside of the warranty... how convenient.

I hate this car and will NEVER buy another Saturn. In fact, if there were a competition to win a Saturn and I was guaranteed to win, I wouldn't participate. I have had the car since 2005 and since then I have put over $3500 in repairs into. My grandparents kept GREAT records of the service and I tallied it up... well over $10,000 in repairs done to this car and that doesn't include your general maintenance costs!
