Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS A SPORADIC PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS TO DIM UP TO SEVEN TIMES IN ONE SECOND INTERVALS. THIS CONDITION ONLY HAPPENS IN OVER DRIVE WHILE COASTING OR BRAKING. THIS DIMMING COULD BE MISUNDERSTOOD BY OTHER DRIVERS AS FLASHING AND COULD CAUSE A DISTRACTION. IT ALSO COULD LEAD TO A PREOCCUPATION AS TO WHY AS THIS GUY KEEPS FLASHING ME. DURING BRAKING IN TRAFFIC CONDITION THIS COULD CAUSE A DISTRACTION FOR THE CAR AHEAD BEING FLASHED CAUSING HIM TO LOOK IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR INSTEAD OF A HEAD. AS FOR THE ALL THESE LIGHTS DIMMING IN ABOUT ONE-SECOND INTERVALS THIS CAUSES ME TO BECOME DISTRACTED AS WELL. I HAVE CONTACTED SATURN AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NO REPAIR CAN BE MADE AT THIS TIME. *JB
