1 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2004

For the past couple of weeks my wife's 2001 Saturn l300 turn signals have been working and not-working intermittently. We heard about the recall, and think that the same and/or similar problem may be occurring with her vehicle.

2 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2003

I was on my way to work, when my steering wheel started smoking. It looked like I was smoking 3 cigarettes. It had a blue color to it and smelled like an electrical problem. My bright lights flashed then stayed on. It was 8 am and I did not have my lights on. When I got to work, the nearest Saturn dealership towed it to their dealership service area. (Saturn of kings mall, mason, OH). Brian, the service man, notified me that the turn signal had burned out. Bare wires were rubbing. He also stated that he has never seen this problem before. The dealership is charging me for this problem do to my warranty expired at 36,000 miles and I have 36,900 miles. I felt that this is a liability product defect and I should not be charged.
