general problems of the 2002 Saturn LS

Rear tail lights will not work. Have checked all fuses relays,and even changed the turn signal switch. My car is currently at the garage. Original appointment was only for inspection. Mechanic has not yet located the issue. Also has no dash lights. Parking lights. Had I known this in advance would have returned car immediately.

Approx. March 2013 started having this problem, never before! driving home as it got dark and head lights running on dusk to dawn "sensor" head lights all of a sudden started going from day time running lights to low beam and back to high beam the whole ride home which took approx. 1 hour. Has happened again off and on and had the car in the shop twice for this problem and they said they could not find anything wrong and that the e-mails they get says it is " normal operating conditions???" I don't think so when your lights keep going up and down ( high- low) and expecting someone thinking you are letting them out and pull out in from of you. Garage claims there is no solution, so this is why we are writing, what do we do?? realize it is a 2002 but never had the problem and now it's not able to be solved?? very scary when driving at night??.

The contact owns a 2002 Saturn l200. The contact stated that the rear lights were continuously burning out and the bolt was cracking. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was already repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 05v245000 (exterior lighting). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 88,000.

This can cause (1) an intermittently inoperative brake/tail lamp bulb or (2) a short circuit that opens a fuse causing inoperative brake lamps (including the center high-mounted stop lamp) or tail lamps. A following driver may not know when the brakes have been applied, and a rear-end crash could occur without prior warning. Campaign number: 05v245000 this item had been replaced yet the replaced item has the same fault 40,000 miles after the recall warrent.

The interior light flickered intermittently while driving 70 mph. Currently, there were no interior light while driving at night. Vehicle was taken to the dealer on two separate occasions. During the first visit dealer informed consumer that was the normal characteristic of that vehicle. Presently, it is not covered under a recall.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the switches for all the lights on the vehicle needed to be replaced. The check engine light was illuminated because the engine module computer needed to be replaced along with other sensors. The contact also stated that the oil housing failed.
