MY CAR HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS IN NEED OF FRONT BRAKES. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW, I HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AS WELL. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE BRAKES & THE ROTORS WEAR DOWN TOGETHER. I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE ROTORS EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2001 SATURN L200 DIM AND FLICKER WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER AND/OR FRONT WINDOW DEFOGGER ARE ENGAGED. THIS IS A DISTRACTION AT NIGHT AND DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER THAT HAS CAUSED ME TO BRIEFLY LOOSE SIGHT OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2001 SATURN L-300 IN SEPT OF 2001, I AM NOW ON MY 3 SET OF TIRES FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IT ONLY HAS 39000 MILES ON IT. THE MANUFACTURER HAS REPLACED THESE TIRES UNDER WARRANTY. THIS LAST TIME I MENTIONED THE TIRES GIVING ALOT OF ROAD NOISE, THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT SINCE THE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENT OF TIRES ON MY VEHICLE SATURN HAS COME OUT WITH A "SHIM" KIT FOR THE REAR END . WHEN MENTIONING THIS TO A FRIEND WHO WORKS IN AUTO MANUFACTURING SHE STATED THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE . TO MY KNOWLEDGE SATURN IS NOT RECALLING THESE VEHICLES NOR IS THEIR CURRENTLY A "CAMPAIGN" ON THIS ISSUE . THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE OF MICHIGAN IS WORKING ON THIS CASE WITH ME UNDER THE LEMON LAW OF MICHIGAN BUT I CAN NOT LET THE SILENCE CONTINUE IF THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TIRES ARE FIRESTONE AFFINITY. *NLM

ON A LOG ROAD TRIP, I HAD TO HAVE MY HEADLAMPS ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE SWITCH(MULTIFUNCTION LEVER) GOT VERY HOT AND STARTED SMOKING. I KNOW YOU DID A TEST ON THIS; HOWEVER, I FEEL THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD FOR A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AS YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS TO GET HOME, WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, AS I WAS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY A FIRE HAZARD. *NLM
