My car drives like its coughing and sometimes it cuts off on me, and my brake lights work sometime, I have had people honk to tell me my lights not working then they will pop on when they get ready.

2nd owner of vehicle, tail lamps had over heating issue, NHTSA issued recall on 2 June 2005, Saturn refuses to address the issue, saying auto is to old. Date for fixing issue is 10 years from date bulletin was issued. Was told by a Saturn "customer care rep. " that adapters were installed in Feb 2009. Auto wasn't registered in 2009, and no adapters have ever been installed. I am a disabled vietnam veteran living on a very meager monthly income and can't afford to replace these lamps. I am driving this auto with no brake lights, aside from anti-collision lamp at top of rear windshield. I hope this letter has more impact than I've been able to achieve, as of today. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am the second owner of this vehicle. There have been numerous recall issues associated with this vehicle, most of these issues are safety related. This auto is my sole means of transport. I have a 2 month old grandson who lives with me, and I have no clue if any of these recall issues have been rectified, aside from the "brake lamps adapter" which has not been fixed. I have no brake lights except for the roofline anti-collision lamps. Repeated attempts to get a hard copy of recall items as being fixed, have been met with no response. I spoke to a gm rep, who told me the issues were over 10 years and to file a suit in small claims court. I have no money to do the work ordered by the fed, via NHTSA. The taillamps are damaged beyond repair (as the insert was not installed in this vehicle) the airbags, have either two times the "generant" or no generant at all. I replaced the original ignition coil, out of pocket $165. 00. I do not understand how gm can be allowed to skirt/ignore recall issues, and this ongoing bs, is taking away time that could be better spent. God help someone at gm, if I am involved in an accident and my grandson is in any way hurt, as a result of gm's "[xxx]" attitude. I am a disabled vietnam veteran (usarmy 101st abn dvn) and my patience is fast waning! I write to you in hopes of getting these issues resolved, or am I wasting my time, as I'm beginning to believe. A written response would be of some comfort, as I'll know that someone bothered to read my running diatribe. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

While driving brake lights will come on and stay on. Problem can happen at any time when consumer is driving. Contacted dealer, and the dealer not willing to do anything.
