I have problems trying to get the dash lights increase in brightness using the variiable control on the interior during a normal daytime especially when I try to see the speedometer (due to the poor design of the dash which can block exterior light from illuminating the dial especially around 10:45 and 11:15 am mst.) esp. When I'm driving

I am having trouble out of my vehicle. I have replace several parts and still have not solved the problem. For instance, when I drive my car and cut it off I have to wait 30-45 mins. Before it will start again. I have changed the fuel pump 3 times and other parts of the car and I have not yet found a solution to my problem. I have had the truck for a year and eight months. The vehicle is motion but it cuts off and I have to wait 30-45 mins. Before my truck can restart. It's been going on for some months and I have changed many parts and it still does the same thing.

When driving on the highway, white/terrible smelling smoke came rolling out of the vents inside my vehicle. It was so bad that I had to pull over, as it was burning my throat/nose/eyes and made me dizzy- this was in a matter of just a few short minutes. No dashboard lights or other signs of vehicle malfunction occurred at that time; however, this was a very alarming safety situation for my children, who were also in the vehicle...! The fire department was called, along with the police and a tow truck; as I obviously was not willing to drive the vehicle any further! Disturbingly, my insurance company (ge*co) has been very unwilling to assist me through this dangerous occurrence; needless to say, I will no longer be a customer of ge*co's ever again- and I will never stop warning my family/friends/the community about the dangers of this type of situation, along with highly advising them to not put their lives at risk by having ge*co as an insurance company!!!!!!

The car would buck while I was on the road. During these times the wipers might come on and be intermittent. I took the cat in to a gm dealer. The problem was diagnosed as a faulty ignition switch, and so stated on my invoice. I called gm on this for a refund and was told that there were not enough complaints on this model. Its interesting that the 2003 saturn, which was a recall, had the same ignition switch.
