Consumer Description

ELECTRICAL ISSUES - ISSUES BEGAN WITH DIMMING DASHBOARD AND CONTINUED TO WORSEN. USING POWER WINDOW ONE MORNING EVERYTHING BEGAN FLICKERING ON THE DASH BOARD INCLUDING ALL MSG LIGHTS AND BACK OFF AGAIN. THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE AND THE RADIO DIDN'T DIE. INITIAL THOUGHT WAS ALTERNATOR WAS TELLING ME THAT I WAS ABOUT TO BE STRANDED 175 MILES FROM HOME. DRIVING FURTHER ANY BLINKER I HIT WOULD CREATE SAME REACTION, THE LAST TIME THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE WHILE TRAVELING AT 65MPH. PARKED CAR AT MY ENDING DESTINATION AND TOOK TWO TIMES TO START BACK UP. BCM SEEMS TO BE THE CULPRIT AS I'VE SEEN ABOUT 1000 POSTS FROM L200 OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUE AND COSTING 400-600. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH SATURN WOULD NOT OR SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHARGE FOR THIS ISSUE IF THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY ON THE LIST OF PROBLEMS. THIS IS NOT ETHICAL AND IN THIS TIME, VERY UNFORTUNATE THEY WOULD TREAT CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS AND GENERATE REVENUE FROM A FAULTY CAR TO BEGIN WITH. *TR
