| As i just read, my running lights, one of the safety features leading me to buy the saturn (new in 2003), also have failed. i began to notice that the green light indicator would flicker when i started the vue, and then the light would disappear. realizing that i would likely get charged hundreds of dollars for repair, i'm living with the failure. it would be nice if there was a recall. | |||

| Please see comments below sent to gm-saturn service satisfaction online survey. gm expects me to pay for the repair which i believe it should be under recall. vehicle: saturn vue 2004 part: drl resistor which activates the day time running lights. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- these comments are geared toward gm and saturn policy makers. personnel at saturn of milwaukee acted as they are supposed to do. yes, he was courteous but not fair by charging $50.00 for an estimate of a common problem that should be taken care of as recall as it is performed in canada. this common problem is easily found all over the web which is the drl resistor in these types of vehicles. the more i notice other saturn vues on the road, i also notice the lack of day time running lights on. remember gm, you designed these with not the option of an on/off switch for these lights. bottom line, i am out of $50.00 and no day time running lights. i refuse to pay $100+ to correct gm's fault !!!! *tr | |||
