Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Have owned the car, 2000 ls1, since it had about 8k miles. have had to buy 3 sets of tires so far due to irregular wear. been to saturn dealership and other garages several times about this before finally learning from saturn this past summer that the lower control arms on this make and model are defective and that saturn had put together a shim kit to fix the problem. this solution would cost over $500, especially when you count the four wheel alignment that would also be necessary. also having brake light problems. brake lights don't work when parking lights are turned on. have replaced bulbs several times, particularly the driver side brake light. mechanic cleaned and adjusted the socket's contact points, but 3 weeks later the driver side brake light was not working again. wipers don't get windshield clean, even when brand new. auto unlock stopped working. *jb
