2000 Saturn LS LS2 V-6 review from North America
"Great car, if you can put up with the Jekyll and Hyde personality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to take the vehicle in to the dealer, for a BCM problem. My car doors wouldn't unlock when I took the key out of the ignition, the car wouldn't shift out of park, and none of my gauges worked properly. I had the car towed to the Saturn Dealership, where they took TWO days to figure out it was the BCM module that was causing the issue.
I've had the problem before (similar symptoms), and kept complaining about it to the dealer while the car was still under extended warranty. The dealer claims nothing is wrong with the car, and sent me on my way. The warranty expired recently, and finally, they discover the problem? Odd, from my point of view. Cost me 620 dollars to fix.
General comments?
When it runs, it runs great - when it doesn't run, it's extremely frustrating.
