| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased my '02 saturn l300 from a highly recommended local used car dealership here in florida mid may '05. it was close to closing time when the final papers were drawn so the salesman and i walked around the car and i noticed then that the left rear brake lamp was out. he told me that the parts dept was closed so to come back the next business day. i came back that monday and they fixed it no problem. well a month or so later, on my way to work, i was pulled over by a state trooper and was told my left rear brake light was out. i informed her that i had just fixed it at the dealership so she gave me a warning and told me to fix it again. i set up an appointment with the dealership that day. while leaving work, i glanced into the windows reflection as i was backing up and saw that the light was working. i have been pulled over three times and all times was giving warnings. is the next cop going to be so nice? it works when it wants to. i am always questioning whether or not its working. this is a $38 part. how many must i purchase? i did not know there was any kind of recall. the dealership did not notify me of any at time of sale. is there anything i can do now? also, a friend who owned a smaller version of the l-series said he had to replace his tires constantly. also saying he dealt with continuous obnoxious road noise. is that a discrepancy? i have had my current tires balanced and rotated twice since may. is this a problem? the front two do not match the rear two. they were that way at time of vehicle purchase. vehicle has 36,000 miles. i tried to match them but it's just to expensive. the cheapest tire i could find in size p215-55-r16 is $98...????? *nm |
