Stereo comes on and goes to aux mode every time car is turned on. The stereo was replaced once, now there is a bulletin that states one must remove power to the unit in order to reset it. This entails pulling the fuse each time it starts happening, every 3 to 4 months.
Lights flicker under seemingly normal driving conditions. Could occur as a series of quick dim/bright conditions for several seconds.
My car has a sporadic problem that causes the headlights and instrument panel lights to dim up to seven times in one second intervals. This condition only happens in over drive while coasting or braking. This dimming could be misunderstood by other drivers as flashing and could cause a distraction. It also could lead to a preoccupation as to why as this guy keeps flashing me. During braking in traffic condition this could cause a distraction for the car ahead being flashed causing him to look in the rear view mirror instead of a head. As for the all these lights dimming in about one-second intervals this causes me to become distracted as well. I have contacted Saturn and they are aware of the problem and no repair can be made at this time.
Since the car was new I have had times when the head lights & dash lights flicker or flash. It happens when you take your foot off the gas pedal (my car is a 4 cyl 5 speed). The flickering is enough that other vehicles that I am following slow down or pull over. My car lights will dim when electric motors are used such as power windows or the engine fan come on, also when the rear window deicer is turned on. Dealer response has basically been that Saturn acknowledges the condition as a normal condition of the car. Incident not only time.
The headlights flickered intermittently which caused the headlights to dim. Consumer contacted the dealer. And was told this was standard, also, this could not be fixed. However, Saturn knew it was an electrical problem.
