Consumer Description

I OWN TWO 2001 SATURNS, AN L300 AND A LW300, BOTH PURCHASED AT SATURN OF SILVER SPRING. BOTH OF THESE CARS HAVE EATEN REAR TIRES ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE DEALER MAINTAINED THAT I DIDN'T ROTATE TIRES ENOUGH. I PREVIOUSLY NEVER HAD A FWD CAR THAT ATE REAR TIRES. FORTUNATELY I REGULARLY PREMATURELY REPLACED TIRES BEFORE CUPPING LED TO BLOWOUTS. I BELIEVE THAT THE FIX OUTLINED IN SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 00T72A NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: 633545 SHOULD RESULT IN A MANUFACTURER RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT.*AK
