| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The front left light of my 2003 saturn ion has gone out repeatedly. upon careful inspection, the bulb itself is not burnt out. when signaling left, the blinker in the vehicle and the left tail light blink very rapidly. as the front left turn signal light is also the daytime running lght, i have a burnt out left daytime runnung light which is a possible saftey hazard. the vehicle was brought in to the dealer three times. the first two times i was told that the bulb was defective and that they had just replaced it. i know this is not true as i tried to troubleshoot the vehicle before bringing it to the dealer by taking the right "good" buld and seeing if it would turn on in the left light assembly. it did not. the third time i brought it in the service manager told me they would just replace thw whole assembly as they have been having problems with them. after four months the problem re-appeared and i once more had to bring it into the dealer. being that the warranty is not expired, i had to pay for the repair. as this seems to be a reoccouring saftey failure, please investigate and advise. |
