2005 Saturn Ion exterior lighting problems

“This vehicle has an electrical issue from time to time seemingly out of nowhere. There is no power steering it just shuts off sometimes it’ll stay off for an hour sometimes it’ll stay off for weeks and I can’t figure out how to fix it. It randomly fixes itself same can be said for the air conditioning And the driver side, headlight all of these electrical functions, seemingly turn themselves up or down for no apparent reason.”

“I turn my turn signals on and nonthing happens in the Frontline bulbs are brand new doesn't matter back turn signal work,front turn signal dont.this has been happening since forever my inlaws didn't know we didn't know until they gave car.so don't know how long seems like forever”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON ACTIVATION OF THE HEADLIGHTS, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM CAUSING POOR FORWARD VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09E012000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.”

“THE RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT LIGHT OR BLINK WHEN THE LEVER IS PRESSED DOWN. THE REAR RIGHT SIGNAL WORKS AS DO THE FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNALS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MY DEALER SAYS WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE COMMAND MODULE AT A COST OF @ $1400. *TR”

“ON MAY 29, 2014 WHEN DRIVING FROM HOME TO WORK ON MY SATURN ION 2005. AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF, BUT THE STEERING GOT EXTREMELY HARD THAT I ACTUALLY DROVE ON THE OTHER LANE WITH INCOMING TRAFFIC GOING THE OPPOSITE WAY OF MY DIRECTION. THE DASHBOARD WENT BLANK, MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF MENTIONING THAT IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 0940 NIGHT TIME. *TR”
