Lighting complaints
My saturn that I've been driving for about a year and a half now, completely cut off in the middle of me driving it. Luckily I was at a drive they so so serious damage to me or anyone else. Could not get it to start back up for a good 5-10 mins. Also the transmission is going out in it and I'm constantly having to add fluid so it doesnt skip. The rear tail lights keep having to be replaced because they keep blowing out.
2002 Saturn sl1. Customer stated that the low beam lights cut off intermittently**cc the vehicle has been taken to the dealer but they have been unable to fix the problem. The high beam lights work fine. The dash light also stopped working. *Nm

experiences I have had while driving. I do not know of any specific accidents relating to this problem, but I bet there are many out there. I am not sure the authorities are fully aware of this potential cause of serious accidents. Your attention to this issue would be greatly appreciated. I hope you will consider this to be a serious issue. Thank you for your time and attention. *Jb
The tail lights do no work when the headlights are on. The police pulled the consumer over for not having tail lights. There was internal failure in the tail light assembly. The manufacturer has been contacted. *Jb the tail light assembly was replaced at no charge. *Tc
