Exterior Lighting Problems of 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.

I'm having the exact problem as recall 05v245000. Examining my car confirms this was not replaced. It has shorted out multiple times having me drive at night time with no lights! this is dangerous and has almost caused me an accident several times.

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.

The vehicle loses power check engine light turns on and starts blinking also the tail lamp bulb melts the plastic on bulb.

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.

My 2001 l200 Saturn had a problem with dash lights/and gauges dimming and at times I had no interior dash lights. . . . It ended up being a main module which cost me $595. Seems like reading all the other complaints similar to mine they have been numerous problems. I think this is a Saturn problem and they should have taken care of this for free. I have replaced the steering box, struts front/rear. . . Stabilizer rear bar, catalytic converter twice. . . . . I am very disappointed in this car. I have put more money in this than my other two Saturn's which I had only normal things; tires, brakes, etc. I wish I had never bought this 3rd one.

My daytime lights began flickering. This eventually led to flickering of my night lights, then my bright lights. It took my local repair shop 6 hours to diagnose the cause. They contacted the local dealership for the part, which the repair shop did not expect them to have. Surprisingly they did. The comment from the dealership was they found it to be a common problem on this vehicle. Apparently there is a short in the relay; the replacement fixed the flickering of the night lights. In order to fix the daytime & bright lights, more work needs to be done and a re-setting of the computer, costing over $700. This can only be done by the dealership due to the specialized computer they have for the Saturns. My lights will continue to flicker as I refuse to pay $700 for a "common problem" that Saturn has not recalled.

Exterior lighting and engine coolant leakage inside of car. Car smoking.

My brake, tail, and interior lights keep failling. I've replaced harnesses and other wires. I also have shaking of steering wheel and automatic locking system failure. Then I have trouble starting my vehicle and the service engine light comes on. Now I have other lamp (light) problems. I also have problems with my audio system where it will not allow me to use any of the buttons, whatever is playing that is what you hear until it decides to work again. My fuel efficiency is not good either, I'm having engine noises and exhaust problems.

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 contact owns a 2002 Saturn l300. While driving the vehicle at various speeds, the exterior lights remain illuminated. 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. While getting an oil change at jiffy lube, the contact was informed that the oil housing screw was loose and the filter could not be changed. The current mileage was 82,564 and failure mileage was 500.
