| Problem Category | Number of Problems |

| Headlights problems | |
| Tail Light Switch problems |
2002 Saturn Sl1. Customer stated that the low beam lights cut off intermittently* the vehicle has been taken to the dealer but they have been unable to fix the problem. The high beam lights work fine. The dash light also stopped working.
I can not understand why this board has allowed the use of "driving lights" on cars on our highways. These lights are misused constantly and pose (in my opinion) a severe safety hazard. They are used for driving in the rain and considered sufficient during dusk and evening hours. They present a reduced visibility and a danger to other drivers. They are especially a problem since they do not turn on the tail lights. Coming up on such a vehicle using driving lights at dusk in the rain is one of the worst experiences I have had while driving. I do not know of any specific accidents relating to this problem, but I bet there are many out there. I am not sure the authorities are fully aware of this potential cause of serious accidents. Your attention to this issue would be greatly appreciated. I hope you will consider this to be a serious issue. Thank you for your time and attention.
