Four problems related to headlights have been reported for the 2000 Saturn LS. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2000 Saturn Ls. While driving at approximately 65 mph, there was smoke coming from the steering wheel into the vehicle and the high beams activated without being prompted. The high beams failed to turn off causing the contact to detach the headlights. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 152,680.
The headlights tend to pulse intermittently when on the road at night. Other drivers assume that this is an emergency vehicle, and tend to stop and pull over unexpectedly, which the owner anticipates that an accident can occur. Manufacturer contacted and was aware of the problem. . . Consumer has almost been hit by 18 wheelers twice when they thought that consumer was flashing the headlights to signal okay to come over, but was actually beside the trailers. Luckily, consumer's vehicle was able to move over and avoid an accident. Saturn claimed that the lights were operating within normal parameters, and will not fix them. Consumer disagreed claiming that pulsing lights, when vehicle was cruising at 65 mph, was not normal. Could be dangerous, and very distracting.
When the ac compressor engages, headlights dim for a short period of time. It makes the car look like I am flashing the headlights. Has done it since, and a new car has 50k miles on it now.
Head lights are not adjusted properly causing poor visibility. Mjs.
