2 Dash Wiring problem of the 2002 Saturn LS

Failure Date: 11/02/2004

I have a 2002 Saturn l100. The headlights and dashlights flicker on a consistent basis. The dealer and the manufacturer have advised that this is "a normal operating characteristic of the vehicle". Saturn service bulleting 04-08-42-011a applies. I believe that this is an unsafe characteristic and that the government should require a recall and repair of vehicles suffering from this problem.

3 Dash Wiring problem of the 2001 Saturn LS

Failure Date: 11/01/2004

The headlights, dashboard instrumentation, and dome light of this autobile are constantly dimming and brightening (flickering). This is making night time driving extremely dangerous. Saturn has issued technical information bulletin 04-08-42-001 in February 2004 stating that this is a "normal operating characteristic". I believe it is a present danger and could also be a sign of a complete failure of the electrical system.

The consumer indicates when she rolled the driver's side window down and back up that was when every thing quit working. The service dealer stated that each component would need to be replaced. The consumer has contacted the manufacturer.

6 Dash Wiring problem of the 2001 Saturn LS

Failure Date: 02/10/2004

The headlights and dash lights on my 2001 Saturn l200 dim or flicker. This is a distraction during night time driving and while driving in inclement weather. N one partucular occasion I had to stop the vehicle when I normally wouldn't have expected to due to the further reduction in visibility as the headlights. Dimmed. There is the possibility that other drivers may think that I am flashing the headlights at them. The headlights and dash lights dimmed since the vehicle was new. Saturn states that this is a characteristic of the vehicle and there is no repair.

Intermittent problem w/dashboard idiot lights. Sometimes, some lights will come on at a low intensity and stay on. When trouble exists, if you restart the car, all of the lights & instruments fail the power up test and the same lights stay at a diminished brightness. However, they do seem to come to full brightness when the condition comes up. After car is started, all gauges work properly. Then, the trouble will clear up. Dealer unable to find any problems. There were no trouble codes logged. Lights which come up are: washer fluid, service wrench, service engine soon, low fuel, seat belt restraint, air bag, oil pressure, abs, temp, coolant level.
