2 Instrument Panel problem of the 2001 Saturn LS

Failure Date: 02/15/2009

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.
