I was driving my car to work and leaving my street to turn onto a busy highway. I lifted the turn signal lever to indicate my turn and the blinker did not work. I tried the other turn signal direction and that did not work either. The hazard button did work. I instinctively use the turn signals and have heard a buzzing sound coming from the center of the dashboard, near the hazard button/switch. Blinkers work if I press the hazard warning light, use the turn signal and then depress the hazard button. Upon research on the internet it seems that the hazard warning switch may be the culprit. I've contacted gm customer service to notify them of this problem and am waiting for their reply. It seems that there has been a recall on this part for the 2000 Saturn Ls but not for my model and year.

Smoke was coming from the steering column. Consumer pulled over, and the smoke extinguished on its own. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the hazard switch unit needed to be replaced.

While driving at any speed the headlights and dashboard lights dim 40-50% when the cooling fan kicks on. My drive to work in the morning is 16 miles and the lights flash sometimes 10- 15 times. This morning was around 30 times. I've had this problem with this car since I got it. I have taken it to Saturn 4 times but all they tell me is "that's the way it is designed" I wrote to the corporate office made such a complaint, they replaced my car with another at a cost to me of $675. 00. Both the first car and the replacement car do the same thing. I could not believe any car manufacturer would design a vehicle like this. My wife has a 2002 l200 also and hers does not do that. I will gladly video tape this and send you a copy of the tape. It is a hazard when your lights are flashing at the car in front of you.
