After I turn on my headlights they will be fine for a bit and then one will go out and sometimes the other will follow suit. It can be either if them. Sometimes I can turn the lights on and then off and it will come back on.

Hi! I recently bought a car from a dealership called epb auto. The car I purchased was describes as having no recalls nor other problems besides the ABS light (which I was informed by the dealer would go off with new tires) on and a check engine light. The dealer specified that the check engine was just the gas cap. Which he claimed that the mechanic read with his computer. I was told there was no problems, also claimed he'd replace the windshield. Which he did not. I tried to call to explain the situation. He claimed the mobile mechanic won't be able to come out until monday. My whole vitality relies on that vehicle and I cannot find a mechanic that will fix the recalls. Please help! Recalls include the timing chain and timing tensioner, windshield, liftgate, air bag sensors, electrical system failures.

Airbag light has been lit up for awhile now. They say I need a new sensor. Is this not the same issue from a previous recall? Why does this not show up under that recall?

The rear lift gate or strut support for the hatch of my 2007 saturn, outlook gradually fell on my son and I while putting the groceries in the car at walmart more than a few months ago; now the hatch no longer holds its weight and drops when you try to lift it, because it is pretty heavy, so as of today, I have not used the hatch for many months now, because it is not safe. I have called a few dealers that deal with saturn, gmc even buick and they all say that they do not work on vehicles over 10 years. (?) one of the mechanics said that he thought there was a recall on the lift gate like 3 years ago.? I am to the point that I might as well find a local mechanic to fix the lift gate or strut for the hatch. Also, the passenger side air bag light has been on since january or february of 2019 and it won't turn off or reset?

The passenger airbag sensor in the seat does not work. I had this issue in the past, I had purchased an extended warranty but still had to pay the $250 deductible for it to be fixed. I was told by the dealer that it must have gotten wet. I can tell you at that time 100% it did not get wet. And even if the seat had gotten wet (which sometimes things get spilled) it should not have affected the sensor I.e it should be incased somehow to protect it from moisture. I now have the same issue again and the warning light has been on for some time. I do not have thousands of dollars to fix the sensor which is how much the dealer charges for this repair, the vehicle being 12 years old isn't even worth a whole lot more than what it would cost to have the dealer fix it. I have looked into the issue and there and a lot of people with the same complaint. Gm should have to replace these sensors since it is a safety issue without charging its customers a ridiculous amount of money. I have owned this car since it was new for the record.
