Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since date of purchase i have had problems w/the tail lamp bracket housing assembly. this problem was corrected, i thought when i brought back the vehicle on date of purchase, such was not the case, the tail lamp bracket housing continued to burn out. i stressed to the repair facility at saturn that there is a problem. finally i received a recall letter in 2005 for this defect (tail light housing bracket). i have already had the vesicle for 2 years prior to the recall, in 2005, it still burns out 3 bulbs at a time usually a week or month after repair. it is now 2006 and i still have the same problem. the vehicle was repaired at no cost to me only because i have addressed the problem with the manager of the dealership (repair department), but they have only noted the repair twice; so every time the assembly unit goes out they try and charge me for the repair!...now the car is nearly paid off and i still have this problem. obviously this is a defect that can't be repaired. my repair locale is saturn of massepequa, ny. *nm
