2007 SATURN OUTLOOK Electrical System Problems

When it's cold I get frost inside my vehicle I replaced my windshield because I thought air was getting inside to cause the frost but after getting it replaced same issue water is leaking in and causing moisture and causing my vehicle not wanting to start because it's doing something to the battery

I HAVE A WIRE THAT BURNED-OUT AND IT CONTROLS MY WINDOWS, SUNROOF,MY AC CONTROLS, AND THEN ALSO MY TRANSMISSION IS SHUTERING

WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE CAUSE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONING. WATER IS COLLECTING INTO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSED BY WATER INCLUDE RADIO, LIGHTS; DASHBOARD( SHUTS OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN COMES BACK ON) AND INTERIOR, DOOR LOCKS, STABILITY TRACK MALFUNCTION AT WHICH POINT THE CAR WILL SHAKE AND SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE BEING DRIVEN ABOVE 40 MPH.

Mileage: 200,000

MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAS BURNT OUT AND HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN 1 MONTH. IT'S CURRENTLY 12/15/19 AND IT'S BURNT OUT AS WE SPEAK

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I DROVE INTO SOME WATER ON THE ROAD AND LOST STEERING. THE WHEEL BECAME VERY VERY HARD TO STEER. THEN IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. TONIGHT, DRIVING HOME IN THE RAIN AND WENT THREW A PUDDLE OF WATER ON THE ROAD. LOST STEERING ABILITY AND HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT MAKE MY TURN FOR THE STEERING WAS SOME HARD. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CHARGING LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL WHEN I WENT THREW THIS PUDDLE OF WATER. THE SHOULD BE A RECALL A.S.A.P. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN

Mileage: 135,500

WHEN STARTING THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BUZZER GOES OFF, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS FLICKERS OFF AND ON. THIS CAUSES A ROUGH IDLE LIKE A MISFIRE .I HAVE HAD PLUGS AND COIL PACKS REPLACED AS WELL AS SHOCKS AND STRUTS. ERROR STILL REMAINS. MECHANIC SAYS ONE ISSUE TRIGGERS THE OTHER. HAVE SEEN 100'S OF OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON FULL SIZE GM TRUCKS AND OTHER SUVS. HOPEFULLY SOON A RECALL ISSUE

Mileage: 163,000

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO LOCK OR STALLING WHILE TAKING A TURN. INITIALLY THIS WAS A RARELY OCCURRENCE. SO I WENT TO AN AUTO SHOP TO MAKE SURE THAT STEERING FLUID IS AT ITS PROPER LEVELS; IT WAS. THEN A WEEK LATER, THE STEERING STARTED TO LOCK FREQUENTLY WHILE TAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. I THEN WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANICAL SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. JUST YESTERDAY(2/9/2019), MY VEHICLE STARED TO HUM AND THE STEERING WHEEL ONCE AGAIN TRIED TO LOCK ON ME WHILE MAKING ANOTHER TURN AND ALMOST CAUSED ME 2 ACCIDENTS ON A MAJOR ROAD. I WAS THEN TOLD TO LOOK UP TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND I FOUND NOTHING BUT I DID FIND THE EXACT SAME ISSUES THAT MY SATURN IS EXPERIENCING CURRENTLY FROM PREVIOUS RECALLS

MY FIRST ISSUE IS THAT EVERYTIME IT RAINS, WATER LEAKS FROM THE SUNROOF. THE AREA AROUND THE SUNROOF WILL BE SOAKED AND DRIPPING DOWN INTO THE SEATS AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR. ALSO MY LIFTGATE DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LIFT IT ALL THE WAY UP AND DOWN. I CAN HEAR THE GEARS TURNING BUT THEY DON'T WORK.

Mileage: 160,000

STARTED AS ONE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT AND THEN YOU TURN SWITCH TO MANUAL AND BACK TO AUTO IT COME ON AGAIN AND NOW DRIVING LAST NIGHT DOWN THE HWY BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND WOULDNT COME BACK ON AND WENT OUT NEXT MORNING THEY ARE WORKING BUT ONE IS FLICKERING IT DOES IT WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING STILL

Mileage: 121,000

THE FACTORY INSTALLED SUNROOF LEAKS RAINWATER INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. IT HAS AFFECTED AIRBAGS, SENSORS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND POWER SYSTEMS. IF THE CAR GETS WET, THE WATER TRAVELS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO CIRCUIT BOARDS AND DISCHARGES THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WILL DIE IN TRAFFIC IF WATER TRAVELS TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD DURING DRIVING. AIRBAGS HAVE EVIDENCE OF WATER TRAVELING THROUGH THEIR ASSEMBLY. FLOOR AND SEATS ARE WET AFTER RAIN, SPRINKLER, CAR WASH, MORNING DEW. DOESN'T SEEMS TO BE DEPENDENT ON AMOUNT OF WATER RECEIVED. BATTERY TESTS FINE ON FULL CHARGE. ALTERNATOR FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. PROBLEM IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO SUNROOF LEAKAGE. SUNROOF SEAL IS NOT YET UNDER RECALL. YESTERDAY, AFTER A DAY OF RAIN, THE CAR HAD TO BE CHARGED TO DRIVE TO WORK. DROVE 20 MILES WITH NO APPARENT POWER ISSUES, BUT AIRBAG SENSORS SENT ALERT THROUGH THE DASH THAT AIRBAGS NEEDED SERVICING. AFTER WORK 7 HOURS LATER, CAR DROVE INTO OKC RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, WATER IN THE ROOF SLOSHED (YOU CAN HEAR IT) AND THE CAR DIED. IN TRAFFIC. COMPLETELY DISCHARGED THE BATTERY. NO LIGHTS. NO HAZARDS. NO DOOR LOCKS. NO BRAKES, STEERING, ABILITY TO MOVE THE CAR IN OR OUT OF GEAR, OR EVEN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. CAR HAD TO BE JUMPED IN ORDER TO PUT GEAR INTO NEUTRAL TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC AND REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. CHARGED ALL NIGHT ON TRICKLE CHARGER AND WAS RUNNING FINE TODAY. EXCEPT, IT'S RAINING NOW.

Mileage: 120,000

RECENTLY, WE HAVE NOTICED THE SUNROOF OF OUR OUTLOOK STARTED LEAKING INTO THE FRAME OF THE CAR. WE DON'T USE IT MUCH, SO IT WAS AN ANNOYANCE, IT WOULD DRIP WATER ON THE DRIVER'S LAP AFTER A RAIN. THEN RAINWATER STARTED LEAKING OUT OF AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT DASH AND WINDSHIELD SUPPORT AREA. STARTING TWO DAYS AGO, AFTER A RAINSTORM, THE CAR WILL REMAIN RUNNING WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED, AND SOMETIMES THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED, WHETHER THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT. THE BATTERY ALSO DIES EVERY NIGHT, DESPITE BEING A NEW BATTERY AND REMAINING ON A CHARGER. ONLINE FORUMS STATE THE ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH WATER ACCESSING THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND FUSE AREA, ALLOWING ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS TO REMAIN OPERATING THROUGH A CROSS-FIRE OR CARBON-TRACKING, USING THE MOISTURE TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MANY REASONS, NOT ONLY A POTENTIAL FIRE RISK, OR RISK OF THE VEHICLE MOVING AFTER IT'S BEEN SHUT OFF, BUT ALSO POSSIBLE DEGRADATION OF AIRBAG SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE DASH AND WINDSHIELD AREA.

Mileage: 118,000

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS OFF AND ON REGARDLESS IF A PERSON (ADULT) IS SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS NOW. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM NOR WOULD IT BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL THAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY THAT THE PASSENGER COULD BE IN IMMINENT HARM AT THE FAULT OF GM. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE SENSOR UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES AS REPORTED ON MULTIPLE ONLINE VEHICLE OWNER FORUMS. GM NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMERS FROM FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

THE 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK INCLUDE ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES (LIGHTS INTERMITTENT FUNCTIONING, STABILITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS ON INTERMITTENTLY, REMOTE START DOESN'T WORK, POWER LIFT GATE OPENS ON IT'S OWN, LIFT GATE SWITCH FAILED INTERNALLY

NOW THAT ITS COLD MY TRUCK WONT START. EVERY MORNING I HAVE TO JUMP START IT. I ALSO NOTICE THE HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT WELL ON ONE THAT IS. THE LEFT ONE. WHEN IN IDLE THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT ON DASH BOARD ILLUMINATES I KNOW THIS ISN'T RIGHT I HAD THAT SERVICED ALREADY. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE HATCH BACK WONT GO UP COMPLETELY IT WILL GO MID STREAM AND CLOSE BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. DURING LOW CLIMATE WEATHER, THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION AND ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, BUT FAILED TO MOVE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. WHILE DRIVING DURING LOW TEMPERATURES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS OIL IN THE ENGINE AIR FLOW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 172,000.

Mileage: 172,000

FOR A COUPLE WEEKS I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS OPENING MY TRUNK HATCH, I TRIED AGAIN TODAY AND IT DIDN'T OPEN. I THEN BENT DOWN TO PICK UP MY BAGS WHEN THE HATCH OPENED ON ITS OWN AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD PRETTY HARD. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN MY TRUNK WHEN I HAVE GROCERIES IN IT. I DIDN'T GO TO THE DOCTOR OR THE ER BECAUSE I WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND CAN RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS OF A CONCUSSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN IT RAINED, WATER LEAKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE FROM UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX COMPARTMENT, DRIVER'S VISOR, SUN ROOF, AND THE REAR EXTERIOR ACCESSORY LIGHT. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED MOLD GROWING ON BOTH FRONT DOORS AND THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN AIR CONDITIONER MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER THEN FAILED COMPLETELY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD WATER MOVING AROUND IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE TURNING, WATER POURED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WATER WAS INSIDE OF THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN ROOF NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

Mileage: 67,000

MY SATURN WAS DISABLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO A CRACKED WAVEPLATE RESULTING IN LOSS OF GEAR WHICH WAS REPAIRED BUT WAS CURRENTLY TURNED OVER FOR REIMBURSEMENT. PROBLEM SOLVED. WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIR THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. AFTER DISCUSSING THIS WITH MY SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND PERFORMING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. FAILURE OF THE BCM RENDERED MY VEHICLE DEAD IN THE WATER. THANKFULLY OTHER FAULTY EQUIPMENT HAD ME IN A RENTAL CAR AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED AND BELIEVE A RECALL IS IN ORDER. TO ME, THE FACT THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE MODULE AND THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE ONLY TELLS ME IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT STRANDED AND HAVE MY FAMILY ALONG WHEN IT FAILS THE NEXT TIME.

ISSUES WITH THE 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK INCLUDE ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES (LIGHTS INTERMITTENT FUNCTIONING, STABILITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS ON INTERMITTENTLY, REMOTE START DOESN'T WORK, POWER LIFT GATE OPENS ON IT'S OWN, LIFT GATE SWITCH FAILED INTERNALLY), AIR INTAKE FILLED WITH OIL AND WATER MIX, WATER UNDER FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE, INTERMITTENTLY THE STABILITRACK WILL TURN OFF, MESSAGE SAYING 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED', CAR SHAKES, NO POWER AND REQUIRES COASTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. (THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IS TEMPORARILY ADDRESSED BY TURNING THE CAR OFF, REMOVING THE KEYS, OPENING THE DOOR, WAITING FIVE MINUTES. THEN THE CAR STARTS BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON.) REQUIRED NEW THROTTLE BODY, REPLACING STRUTS, SWAY BAR LINK, SHOT AND/OR STRUT ASSEMBLY. RACK AND PINION, TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MOST RECENTLY HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH HARD SHIFTING, CEL AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ON, INTAKE BOOT FULL OF OIL, VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR UNTIL 4000RMP'S AND DOES THE SAME THING ON HIGHWAY IN 2ND GEAR. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS SATURN OUTLOOK IN MAY OF 2013, IT WAS USED BUT VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. SOON AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS PERIODICALLY GO OUT. IT IS NOT THE BULB BECAUSE THE BULB COMES BACK ON, BUT IN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING, WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND COUNTLESS TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WILL COMPLETELY GO OFF WHILE WE ARE DRIVING! THIS IS FRIGHTENING AND SO VERY DANGEROUS. I KNOW OF OTHER OUTLOOK OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM! PLEASE DO A RECALL AND HELP US, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT FROM THEIR HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING! *TR

Mileage: 110,000

PURCHASED THIS 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK IN 2013 USED WITH ONLY AROUND 80K MILES ON IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID TELL US ABOUT THE LEAKING AREAS ONCE THE DRAINS GET CLOGGED, MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DILIGENT CLEANING THEM, BUT LIVING IN FLORIDA IT RAINS HEAVY ALL THE TIME. WE NOTICED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY THE INSIDE DRIPPING IN THE 3RD ROW, UNTIL MANY TIMES, UNTIL THIS PAST NOVEMBER IT RAINED HEAVY FOR 2 DAYS AND THE WATER STARTED COMING THRU WHAT SEEMED TO BE FROM THE AC VENTS ON BOTH ROWS, AND THROUGH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WALLS VERY HEAVY, UPON LEAVING WORK WENT TO TURN OFF THE CAR TOOK KEYS OUT TWICE AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. SO NOW THERE IS THE ELECTRICAL AREAS BEING SOAKED, LET IT DRY OUT CLEANED DRAINS AGAIN, AND IT JUST SEEMS THE MORE RAIN WE HAVE THE MORE WATER COMES IN. RIGHT NOW CAR IS IN GARAGE SINCE WE HAD THE SAME SITUATION WITH RAIN AND NOW IT IS DRIPPING FROM EVERYWHERE.. AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR SINCE WE KNOW THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND WIRES ARE WET. I HAVE A TODDLER WHOM I HAD TO COVER WITH A TOWEL CAUSE WATER WAS DRIPPING ON HER. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, BEFORE IT CAUSED A FIRE AND COULD CAUSE DEATH TOO. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO TOO MANY FAMILIES.. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR??? *TR

BOUGHT THIS PIECE OF CRAP CAR OUT OF DESPERATION FROM A PAY AS YOU GO RIP OFF CAR "DEALERSHIP" WHO TOLD ME NOTHING ABOUT THIS CARS FAULTS AND IT'S DONE NOTHING BUT BITE ME IN THE ASS SINCE THEN. LEAKS LIKE A STUCK PIG, CAUSING WATER TO POOL AT THE FLOOR MATS, WHEN ITS COLE THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD FROSTS. HEADLIGHTS WILL BOTH SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, BATTERY DIED SO I CHARGED IT THEN THE RADIO WENT HAYWIRE. OPENED UP THE BATTERY TERMINAL TO FIND MY BATTERY WAS ENCASED IN ICE DUE TO THE LEAKY SUNROOF, THE BATTERY WAS SPARKING AND SMOKING. WINDOWS WON'T GO DOWN ALL OF A SUDDEN. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF THIS CAR. NEVER AGAIN. SO DANGEROUS IT'S RIDICULOUS. *JS

I HAD MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM LIGHT ALREADY FIXED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE LOW BEAM LIGHT MELT. NOW MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND ITS THE SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS MELTING AND THE LIGHT NOT WORKING ON SOME DAYS AND THEN WORKING THE NEXT DAY OR LATER IN THE DAY WHEN I START THE CAR UP AGAIN. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM TO GET IT FIXED. I KNOW THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN PUT OUT FOR THE VEHICLE THAT EXPIRED DECEMBER 31, 2013. BOTH OF MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING THIS YEAR. *TR

Mileage: 122,222

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS MELTED WHICH CAUSED MY LIGHT TO NOT WORK AND REQUIRED IT BEING TAKEN IN TO HAVE A NEW HARNESS PUT ON THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT PUT OUT BY GM ABOUT TO SATURN SERVICE PROVIDERS ABOUT REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS BUT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALLED ISSUED FOR THIS AS OF YET. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THEY STOP WORKING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK WHIS IS LEAKING WATER IN THROUGH WHAT I ASSUME IS THE SUNROOF. MY SON, WHO WAS SITTING IN THE THIRD ROW OF SEATING (BACK SEAT) NOTICED WATER LEAKING FROM THE DOME LIGHT. THE WATER WAS ALSO NOTICED IN OTHER AREAS OF THE VEHICLE THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE. I HAVE ALSO STARTED NOTICING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE NOT THAT THE RAIN HAS COME IN AS WELL AS WATER STAINS FROM OTHER SUCH ISSUES. *TR

DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT ABOUT A WEEK AGO,I REPLACED THE LIGHT BULB AND IT WORKED FOR A FEW DAYS.THE SAME LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN.I WENT TO REPLACE IT ,JUST TO NOTICE A WIRE WAS OUT AND THE CONNECTION HAD MELTED.I LOOKED IT UP AND COME TO FIND OUT THERE IS A FAULTY HARNESS. I CONTACTED A GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE AWARE OF IT,BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS OVER ON 12-31-13. IF THIS IS A ON GOING ISSUE,WHY WONT A RECALL BE ISSUED?? I DON'T HAVE 400 DOLLARS TO HAVE A NEW HARNESS INSTALLED. *TR

ON SATURDAY JULY 5, 2014, WHILE TRAVELING N/B ON I-81 IN VIRGINIA MY 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK XR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO LOSE POWER TO THE ENGINE. AT THE TIME, I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. AT NO TIME DID ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER SERVICE INDICATOR COME ON. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES ON THE SHOULDER THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. I HAD MY WIFE AND 3 KIDS (8YR, 6YR AND 3 MONTH OLD) IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT TOOK AN HOUR FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO GET TO US. WE LOADED THE CAR SEATS AND ALL OF US INTO THE TOW TRUCK AND WERE TOWED TO A MECHANICS SHOP IN FRONT ROYAL, VA. SINCE ALL SHOPS WERE CLOSED AT THAT TIME, WE HAD TO LEAVE OUR CAR AND WENT TO A HOTEL. ON MONDAY JULY 7TH, WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE AT LEAST A FEW DAYS UNTIL THEY FIGURED OUT WHAT WENT WRONG. I RENTED A CAR AND DROVE HOME TO NJ. ON THURSDAY JULY 10TH, THE MECHANIC SHOP CALLED AND SAID THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY SHOT DUE TO A MISSING VALVE COVER INSIDE THE ENGINE, 1 OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NOT WORKING AND MULTIPLE PISTONS FAILING. ON JULY 24TH THE CAR WAS FINALLY PICKED UP AND TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER MECHANIC BY MY RESIDENCE. THE NEXT DAY THAT SHOP CALLED WITH THE SAME DIAGNOSIS AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW ENGINE FROM GM FOR $5,000. THAT PURCHASE WITH LABOR AND TAX WILL COST ME $7,500. THIS WHOLE BREAKDOWN ENDED UP COSTING ME APPROX. $9,000 TOTAL AND I AM STILL WAITING TO GET MY CAR BACK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED AND HAD ALL THE RECOMMENDED TUNE UPS/RECALLS PERFORMED. IT BOTHERS ME THAT GM PUTS FAMILIES AT RISK BY NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. BREAKING DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY PUTS PEOPLE IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. GM SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND TAKE ALL APPROPRIATE ACTION TO PREVENT A POTENTIAL TRAGEDY. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I HAD THE INTERIOR LINERS REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HAVE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY SINCE THE ORIGINAL DATE OF THE PROBLEM AND AT THIS POINT, I THINK THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER IS OUT, THERE ARE TWO WINDOWS THAT NO LONGER OPEN, THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY (THIS IS NEW LAST WEEK), THERE IS ANOTHER WARNING SOUND COMING ON WHEN I MAKE A SHARP TURN BUT I AM NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS FOR SINCE THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER IS OUT. ONCE I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO SHUT COMPLETELY AND I HAD TO START THE CAR, LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS AND THEN THE DOOR WOULD SHUT. THE AUDIO/NAVIGATION SCREEN LOSES POWER AND RESTARTS EVERY COUPLE DAYS DURING MY DRIVE. NOTE: I HAVE ALSO HAD THE POWER STEERING REPLACED IN MARCH AND REPLACED THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION ABOUT THE SAME TIME. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION MODULE FAILED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING FOR YEARS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES BUT DID NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A NOISE UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND VARIOUS WARNING SENSORS ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE WARNING SENSORS SHOW SERVICE TRACTION, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE AIR BAGS, SERVICE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM INDICATORS. THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE SUNROOF WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS TO REPLACE THE TRACK. AFTER THE REPAIR THE FAILURE HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEAR PROPERLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARD TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. THE GAS GAGE READS INTERMITTENTLY. THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE FAILURES STILL RECURR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. DYD

ROOF LEAKS FROM SUNROOF /MOONROOF. EVERYTIME IT RAINS MY 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK ROOF LEAKS. THE WATER TRAVELS INTO THE PILLARS AND WHERE THE AIR BAGS ARE STORED IN THE COLUMNS. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WILL EFFECT AIR BAG OPERATION OR DEPLOYMENT. LEAKS INTO THE GLOVE BOX AND BEHIND DASHBOARD AS WELL AS INTO THE REAR PASSENGER / STORAGE AREA. THE FLOORS ARE SATURATED AND THE VEHICLE SMELLS OF MOLD. RANDOM DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON PERIODICALLY. *TR

THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. YOU WOULD LOSE STEERING, BRAKING, RADIO, AND A/C. THERE WAS NEVER AN ACCIDENT . THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER DURING AN OIL CHANGE, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I NO LONGER OWN THE VEHICLE, BUT AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE LATEST RECALL, I NOTICED THAT THE OUTLOOK WAS NOT INCLUDED. THERE SHOULD POSSIBLY BE A WIDENING OF THE AFFECTED MODELS DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS MODEL. MY FAMILY HAD 7-10 INCIDENTS, BUT NONE WERE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH.

I OWN A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. YESTERDAY, OUR LOW BEAM HEADLAMP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT. THINKING IT WOULD BE A SIMPLE REPAIR, I BOUGHT REPLACEMENT BULBS. AS I DID THE REPAIR, I FOUND THAT IT WAS NOT THE BULB AT ALL, BUT A WIRING HARNESS THAT HAD FRAYED AND SHEARED ITSELF OFF. WHAT WAS ODD TO ME IS THAT IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE LAMP, I HAD TO REMOVE A NUMBER OF PROTECTIVE SHIELDS, I.E. THE FENDER SKIRT, AND THEN THE END CAP PROTECTING THE LAMP. HOW COULD ANYTHING POSSIBLY GET IN AND SHEAR THE WIRE IF IT WAS THAT WELL PROTECTED? WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I AM FINDING THAT IT IS BECOMING A MUCH MORE COMMON ISSUE THAT I HAD ANTICIPATED. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND ISSUING A RECALL NOTICE OUT TO PREVENT OTHER OWNERS FROM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS 2007 OUTLOOK BACK IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE US A SHEET THAT PURPORTED TO INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD GONE THROUGH A FULL INSPECTION AND WAS CLEAN. WE LIVE IN NORTH FLORIDA AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF RAIN LATELY. EVERY TIME IT RAINS, WATER GETS INTO THE DOORS AND INTO THE VEHICLE ITSELF - WE CAN HEAR IT SLOSHING AROUND IN THE DOORS AND IN THE DASH OF THE VEHICLE - AND THERE WILL BE WATER, AS MUCH AS HALF AN INCH, ON THE FLOORBOARDS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS WREAKING HAVOC WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND SOMETIMES THERE WILL BE THE SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. THE FANS, PARTICULARLY IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, ARE RUNNING INTERMITTENTLY; THERE IS A CRACKLING NOISE THAT COMES THROUGH THE RADIO SPEAKERS EVEN WHEN THE RADIO SYSTEM IS TURNED OFF, AND THERE IS SO MUCH MOISTURE IN THE VEHICLE THAT THE WINDOWS FOG, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE, AND THE FOG IS DIFFICULT TO CLEAR EVEN WITH THE DEFROST SYSTEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT BEING CAUSED BY COOL TEMPERATURES BUT RATHER BY THE MOISTURE IN THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY, I DROVE IT TO WALMART AND THEN HOME AFTER WORK WITH NO PROBLEMS, PARKED IT IN OUR DRIVEWAY, AND DIDN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE THE REST OF THE DAY; THIS MORNING, WE WENT OUTSIDE, AND WHEN MY HUSBAND PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO START THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL, AND THEN HE COULDN'T GET HIS KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION; WE HAD TO LOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY AND LEAVE IT THERE WITH THE KEYS IN IT. BACK IN JUNE, ONE OF OUR LOCAL NEWS STATIONS REPORTED ON A RECALL OF 194,000 GM SUVS FOR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH WATER LEAKING INTO THE DOORS AND THAT GM WOULD BE CONTACTING OWNERS OF AFFECTED MODELS TO BRING THEIR VEHICLES IN FOR REPAIRS, BUT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY KIND OF NOTIFICATION FROM GM, AND OURS IS OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED. *TR

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING FROM A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. FAST FORWARD TO JAN 2012 WE HAD A MAJOR LEAK INSIDE THE CAR. WATER MAKING A "SWISHING" SOUND OVERHEAD FROM WATER STORING IN THE HEADLINER. WATER WAS COMING FROM AIR BAGS, SHADE COVERS, BELOW THE GLOVE BOX, AND INSIDE THE WINDOWS. HAD A MAJOR LEAK IN PASSENGER FLOOR. THE AIR HASN'T WORKED SINCE SEPT. AND MAKES A LOUD "HISSING" SOUND, INSTRUMENT PANEL JUST DISAPPEARS, DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. GM WON'T DO ANYTHING. TOOK TO DEALER AND PAID $640 TO FIX HEADLINER LEAK, BUT READING OTHER POSTS IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT WILL LEAK AGAIN. ALL OTHER ISSUES STILL NOT WORKING AND ALL DUE TO WATER LEAKING IN. THIS IS SO SCARY AND FRUSTRATING THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUES ALL OVER EDMONDS.COM AND OTHER SITES. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX ALL THIS, OR GET RID OF THE CAR. AND WHO WOULD BUY IT WITH ALL THE ISSUES??

OUR 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK EXPERIENCED COMPLETE SYSTEM FAILURE -IE EVERYTHING TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING - MORE THAN ONCE. AFTER MANY TRIPS, SOME BY TOW TRUCK, TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, GM FINALLY RESOLVED THE ISSUE BY REPLACING THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THIS WAS AFTER SEVERAL NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES DRIVING THE CAR AND SUDDENLY BEING WITHOUT BRAKES OR STEERING. NOW THE CAR LEAKS, FILLING THE FLOOR MATS WITH WATER, SPLASHING THE DRIVER WITH WATER AT EVERY CHANGE OF SPEED. THE SEATBELTS HAVE BLACK MOLD, AND STARTING LAST WEEK, THE CAR ISNT STARTING, LIKELY DUE TO WATER IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WE BELIEVE THE WATER COMING OUT OF THE AIR BAG HOLES MAY PREVENT THE AIR BAGS FROM FUNCTIONING PROPERLY IN A CRASH. WE ARE NOT ALONE WITH THESE PROBLEMS. PLEASE SEE ' SATURN LEAKING SUNROOF' FORUM ON EDMUNDS.COM FOR MANY MORE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE OURS. WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH GM BUT EXPECT TO BE TOLD TO 'GO TO THE DEALER'.. AGAIN. THE CHEVY DEALER WE USE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, DESPITE IT BEING A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR (ALSO THE OTHER MAKES OF THIS SAME MODEL). WE DO NOT BELIEVE THE CAR IS SAFE. THIS CAR WAS A LEMON FROM THE START, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. *TR

STARTED CAR AFTER WORK, RIGHT HEADLIGHT DID NOT COME ON. TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP, HAD IT REPLACED, $165. TWO WEEKS LATER LEFT HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT. A WEEK AFTER, RIGHT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. TOOK CAR INTO SHOP AND PAID DOUBLE FOR BOTH TO BE REPLACED. ONE MONTH LATER LEFT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT HARNESS FOR HEADLIGHT HAD MELTED AND NEEDS REPLACING AS WELL. HAVE INVESTED ALMOST $700 IN HEADLIGHT REPAIR IN 12 WEEKS. *TR

1ST INCIDENT: 10/02/2011 I WAS MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY, WHEN I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS BECAME DIM. I NOTICED BY THE REFLECTION ON THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP WAS OUT SO I STOP TO BUY A SET OF REPLACEMENT BULBS. AS I GOT IN THE CAR TO GO HOME FROM THE AUTO PART STORE, I NOTICED THE DRIVERSIDE HEADLAMP HAD CAME BACK ON. 2ND INCIDENT: 10/20/2011 AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I NOTICED DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP FLICKER AND GO OUT. I FIGURE IT WAS A BLOWN BULB BUT I TURNED THE HEADLAMPS SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP CAME BACK ON. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO AND I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT HEADLIGHT ABOUT ONE YEAR LATER. I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHANGE A SIMPLE PART SO I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CHANGE THE BULB. THE BULB LASTED A FEW MONTHS AND THEN BLEW OUT AGAIN. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD A FAULTY $25-30 BULB SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER. I HAD TO RE-RESEARCH HOW TO CHANGE THE BULB AND THIS TIME I FOUND OUT THAT OTHER SATURN OUTLOOK OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CHANGED THE BULB AND IT BURNED OUT AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS. I COULD THEN SEE THAT THE WIRE HARNESS THAT PLUGS INTO THE BULB WAS MELTED. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS NOT GOOD AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO START A FIRE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *TR

1) CAR NO LONGER SHIFTS OUT OF FIRST GEAR (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). 2) CAR CONTINUES TO RUN FOR UP TO 30 SECONDS WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED. DEALER STATES THAT A WATER LEAK BEGINNING AT THE SUNROOF LEAKS WATER ONTO THE FUSE AREA IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUSING FAILURES REQUIRING A FUSE BOX REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD LEAKS LEAVING WATER ON THE HEADLINER, FRONT SEATS, FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER FLOORS IN THE PAST ALL REPAIRED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY.

WATER WAS LEAKING THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR CLIP; THE HEADLINER ABOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS WET. BEFORE THE CAR DIED, THE TEMP GAUGE READ HOT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, REAR HATCH WAS NOT WORKING, LATER TO FIND OUT THE REAR SWITCH SHORTED FROM WATER. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A GM SHOP WHERE THEY FOUND A WATER LEAK THAT FLOODED THE FUSE BOX. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO US. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FROM 2/7/12 -2/23/12. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED THE HORN WASN'T WORKING , RADIO/NAV SCREEN WAS BLACK, BUT YOU COULD HEAR THE RADIO. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK ON 2/29/. ANOTHER LEAK WAS FOUND. A "WATER MASTER" REPLACED THE SEAL AND GLASS ON THE SUNROOF .THE CAR WAS RETURNED ON 3/6/12. THEN WE NOTICED THE INSIDE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING ALONG WITH THE RADIO WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND THE OUTSIDE TEMP REG. @ 82 DEGREES WHEN IN FACT IS WAS 42 DEGREES OUT ALONG WITH CONDENSATION ON 4/3.GM PUT OUT BULLETINS MAKING THE PUBLIC AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUES DUE TO INADEQUATE DRAIN TUBES TO PREVENT THE PROBLEMS ABOVE FROM HAPPENING. THE REPAIRS HAVE FAILED. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A SEVERAL DESIGN FLAWS IN THESE VEHICLES.THERE COULD BE POTENTIAL DISASTROUS OUTCOME FROM THE PERSISTENT WATER LEAKS WE ARE EXPERIENCING DESPITE REPAIRS DONE PER SERVICE BULLETINS. WE HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM EXTENSIVELY AND HAVE READ 100'S OF OTHER SATURN OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES; EVEN AFTER THE REPAIRS TO PREVENT THESE PROBLEMS. THE EDMUNDS FORUM IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS.THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE AND I'M JUST GRATEFUL I WASN'T??T DRIVING ON THE HWY. WHEN MY FUSE BOX DIED. WHEN WILL GM BECOME ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE FAULTY POOR DESIGNED DRAIN TUBES FROM THE SUNROOFS? GM ALERTED THE PUBLIC, PAID FOR THE REPAIR AND THE REPAIRS FAILED?

WE BOUGHT THE CAR JAN 8 OF 2010 AND WAS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY- AFTER THE FIRST MONTH I BROUGHT INTO SATURN AND TOLD THEM OF ALL ISSUES. THEY SAID THEY GOT IT ALL FIXED IN JUNE OF 2010 BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN FOR BASICALLY SAME ISSUES AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED EVERYTHING AGAIN AND WERE ALSO CLOSING DOWN THAT DAY SO WERE HURRYING ME OUT THE DOOR. AFTER THAT HAD SAME ISSUES (ESPECIALLY STEERING WHEEL AND ENGINE PROBLEMS,OIL LEAKS, ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS) AND WE WERE DIRECTED TO GO CHEVY SINCE SATURN WAS GONE. EXPRESSED TO THEM SAME ISSUES WITH STEERING WHEEL ETC. THEY ALSO FIXED A RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. AND FIXED POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WAS BROKE TWO MONTHS LATER HAD SAME ISSUES WITH STEERING AND ENGINE AND AIRBAG SENSOR AND BROUGHT IT AGAIN AND THEY ALSO FIXED ANOTHER RECALL, IN THE HEADLAMP. (WE HAVE ALL DOCUMENTS) NOW THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IS OUT AND OIL LEAKS AGAIN SO SINCE IT STILL UNDER POWER TRAIN THEY ARE FIXING THEM BUT GM WILL NOT APPROVE THEM TO FIX THE STEERING COLUMN THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACE NOR THE AIRBAG SENSOR ISSUE. WE HAVE CALLED THEM EVERYDAY AND SENT THEM OVER ALL OUR PAPERWORK THE LAST TWO YEARS SHOWING THAT THE STEERING COLUMN AND AIRBAG SENSOR HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE BEFORE OUR FULL WARRANTY WAS UP.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL WORK FOR AWHILE BUT THEN IT WILL APPEAR TO BE "BURNT OUT". THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT SEVERAL TIMES. THE LIGHTS WILL START WORKING AGAIN (AT LEAST TEMPORARILY) WHEN I SWITCH FROM THE "AUTO" LIGHT SETTING TO "MANUAL" AND BACK AGAIN. I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT WEBSITES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CAUSE BEING THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE LIGHTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE PARTS/MATERIALS USED AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY WHAT THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING TO REPAIR IT, SO FOR NOW I CAN'T DO ANY NIGHT TIME DRIVING WITHOUT GETTING A TRAFFIC CITATION/TICKET. *TR

MY KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION, MY HUSBAND HAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET IT OUT, I HAVE TOLD GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN I GO ONLINE I SEE HUNDREDS OF POSTS ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 2007 OUTLOOK XR STARTED EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT OPERATION. I TRIED TO TAKE IT INTO THE SHOP ONCE, BUT BY THEN THEY HAD COME BACK ON. A FEW WEEKS LATER, BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS TIME, I HAD THE SHOP LOOK FURTHER INTO THE PROBLEM. AS IT TURNED OUT, BOTH OF THE HEADLIGHT HARNESSES WERE COMPLETELY MELTED AND MY MECHANIC REPORTED THAT ONE EVEN APPEARED TO HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. WE HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES BECAUSE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR OUR OUTLOOK, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN ONLINE REPORTS OF THIS SORT OF PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARE MUCH STURDIER AND THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULDN'T REOCCUR, HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE METAL AND/OR WIRING ON THE FIRST HEADLIGHT HARNESSES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GM ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE AND FOR US TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST WE'VE ALREADY INCURRED. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK SINCE NEW. I LOVE MY CAR OVERALL, BUT HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME UNWANTED REPAIRS. BESIDES THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND THE SUNROOF LEAKS, I HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE 3 HEADLIGHT HARNESSES ALREADY. MY RIGHT LIGHT WENT OUT APPROXIMATELY 2YRS AGO. FOUND OUT THE WIRING WAS COMPLETELY MELTED. SATURN ADVISED THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY AT NO COST. JUST RECENTLY, THE SAME HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHO INITIALLY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A HEADLIGHT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE HARNESS AGAIN. WHILE THE HARNESS WAS ON ORDER, MY OTHER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT CAUSING ME TO DRIVE WITH HIGHBEAMS FOR LIGHTING FOR SEVERAL DAYS. YES, IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM FOR BOTH LIGHTS. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WENT AHEAD AND REPAIRED THEM BOTH AT NO CHARGE TO ME AS A COURTESY THEY SAID. MY VEHICLE HAD 72,000 MILES. WHILE I APPRECIATE THAT THEY COVERED THE COSTS, I ALSO FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE. AFTER READING SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS, I FEEL GRATEFUL I DID NOT PAY BUT AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A FIRE HAZARD. MY HEADLIGHTS WERE SO HOT I COULD NOT EVEN TOUCH THEM AND THAT WAS AFTER THEY BURNT OUT! GM NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT REPAIRS.

APPROXIMATELY MID-YEAR 2009, THE RIGHT SIDE LOW-BEAM HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT ON MY 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE BULB WAS REPLACED WITH AN AFTER-MARKET BULB BUT TO MY SURPRISE, THE LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE SATURN DEALERSHIP, THE ENTIRE RIGHT FRONT HEAD LIGHT AREA WAS REPLACED AS THE BACKGROUND WIRING HAD COMPLETELY MELTED. THE COST WAS OVER $500. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME, HENCE THERE WAS NO COST TO ME. ON SATURDAY, JULY 2, 2011 HOWEVER, THE SAME RIGHT SIDE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALERSHIP ON WEDNESDAY JULY 6, 2011, I AM NOW TOLD THAT THE COILS HAVE COMPLETELY MELTED AGAIN AND THE COST THIS TIME TO ME IS $212. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! THIS HAS GOT TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS I AM CONCERNED WITH WHAT IS ACTUALLY GETTING SO VERY HOT THAT IS MELTING THE COILS. I AM MORE CONCERNED THAT THIS TYPE OF HEAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO PREVENT AN UNNECESSARY TRAGEDY/ACCIDENT.

HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. REPLACED WITH SAME TYPE OF BULB. BULB WAS OUT IN 4 DAYS. WIRING HARNESS COMPLETELY MELTED. GM HAS ALREADY ISSUED A 'TECH NOTICE' ON THIS EXTENSIVE PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR COST OF $400 BECAUSE IT ISN'T A RECALL. I'M SORRY, BUT REPLACEMENT OF A HEADLIGHT BULB THAT THEN BURNS UP THE WIRING HARNESS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WHY ISN'T A FUSE TRIPPED IF THERE IS SOME ISSUE - ANY TIME ELECTRONICS MELT, THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM! IN ADDITION TO THE OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE OF NOT HAVING A HEADLIGHT WORKING, IS THERE POWER STILL GOING TO THE HARNESS? WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE FORCED TO CONTINUE DRIVING BEFORE GETTING THIS REPLACED? IS YOUR CAR GOING TO EVENTUALLY CATCH FIRE? THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN WITH THE NHTSA , THIS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN A FORCED RECALL.

IT HAS STARTED TELLING ME TO HAVE THE AIRBAG SERVICED, SO NOW I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL EITHER RANDOMLY GO OFF OR NOT GO OFF WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO. IT HAS TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS OVER HEATED WHEN I HAVE JUST STARTED IT. IT HAS CONTINUED TO KEEP RUNNING WHEN I HAVE TURNED THE KEY OFF AND REMOVED IT FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHER OWNERS. EDMUNDS WEBSITE HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THERE THAT YOU CAN READ. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTOR OVER THIS MATTER BECAUSE THE WATER LEAKING IN IS FROM FACTORY DEFECTS. OTHER OWNERS HAVE TAKEN THEIR OUTLOOKS IN TO THE GENERAL MOTORS SERVICE CENTERS NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEIR OUTLOOKS CONTINUE TO LEAK. I HAD THE TOP OF MY OUTLOOK COVERED WITH PLASTIC AND WATER STILL LEAKED IN WHEN IT RAINED.

I HAVE A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK XE AND IN LATE 2009 MY DRIVER SIDE DIM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. WE REPLACED THE BULB TO NO AVAIL. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE WIRES WHICH WERE BURNT UP AND REPLACED THEM. THE LIGHT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. FINALLY HE FIXED IT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT LAST FOR ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS AND NOW IT IS OUT AGAIN. WHEN HE CHECKED IT THIS TIME HE NOTICED THAT THE WIRES WERE MELTED/BURNT AGAIN. HE HAS ONCE AGAIN FIXED THE PROBLEM AS BEST AS HE COULD. MY WARRANTY IS OUT AND WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SO WE CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE AS BEST WE CAN.

WE BOUGHT A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK IN MAY OF 2008. THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS WOULD KEEP "BLOWING" SO WE THOUGHT. WE HAVE REPLACED HEAD LAMPS FOR THE LOW BEAMS ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES AT LEAST 3 TIMES EACH YEAR, SO 9 TIMES. IN NOV. OF 2010 THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD GO OUT AND THEM COME BACK ON, SO WE BOUGHT A NEW ONE TO PUT IN. AS MY HUSBAND WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB JUST BY TOUCHING IT, IT WOULD GO ON. THEN THE DRIVER SIDE STARTED DOING THIS. ON FRIDAY NOV. 26 WHILE DRIVING DOWN I90 (A MAJOR HIGHWAY) IN ALBANY AT 5AM IN THE RAIN, I LOST BOTH HEADLIGHTS. MY HUSBAND WOULD GO TO REPLACE THEM AND THEY WOULD COME BACK ON WITH THE TOUCH. AFTER READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS WE REALIZED THAT WE HAVE THE SAME HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. THEY WILL BE ON AND GOING AND THEN JUST TURN OFF. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 2 TIMES NOW AND I WILL NOT DRIVE IN THE DARK OR HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON AT ALL TIMES. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SEEING IF THIS IS COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR, THE INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS WILL DIM UP AND DOWN. AFTER SEVERAL OVER 6 TIMES TO THE SATURN DEALERSHIP, THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME ITS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. WE BELIEVE IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE WIRING HARNESS AND IT'S MALFUNCTION. *TR

AS MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 SATURN OUTLOOKS HAVE REPORTED, THE WIRING FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE MELTED, LEAVING ME WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ALL MOTORISTS SINCE THE INCIDENT CAN OCCUR AT NIGHT WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE A MUST. REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR WITH THE SAME FACTORY WIRING AND CONNECTORS THAT GM SUPPLIES YOU WITH PER THE TSB, IS NOT A CORRECT FIX. THIS WILL LEAD TO A FUTURE FAILURE, AND MELTING WIRING AND PLASTIC COMPONENTS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE FACTORY NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL AND HAVE ALL COMPONENTS UPGRADED TO ONES THAT WILL HANDLE THE VOLTAGE REQUIRED TO RUN THE HEADLIGHTS. I SERIOUSLY HOPE THERE ARE NO FIRES OR ACCIDENTS THAT CAUSE ANY INJURY BEFORE GM DECIDES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO REPEATEDLY SPEND THEIR MONEY TO MASK A PROBLEM THAT DOES NOTHING BUT COME BACK AT A LATER DATE. *TR

Mileage: 27,000

2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTINUOUSLY DEVELOPS PROBLEMS. FIRST, LIGHT STARTS OPERATING INTERMITTENTLY; THEN, EVENTUALLY FAILS COMPLETELY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I REPLACED THE BULB (DIFFICULT OPERATION ACCESSED THROUGH THE WHEEL WELL). IT WORKED WELL FOR A FEW WEEKS, THEN FAILED AGAIN. AFTER READING OTHERS' EXPERIENCES, THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED, I INSPECTED THE SOCKET AND SAW VISIBLE CHARRING ON THE CONTACTS. SO, I REPLACED THE SOCKET WITH AN AFTERMARKET PART AND REPLACED THE BULB. IT FUNCTIONED WELL FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS, AND NOW THE HEADLIGHT IS INTERMITTENT AGAIN, LEANING TOWARDS FAILING COMPLETELY AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN INFURIATING BECAUSE THE EXACT ONSET OF THE PROBLEM IS UNPREDICTABLE AND HAS ALREADY CAUSED ME A NYS EQUIPMENT VIOLATION TICKET. PLUS, FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, IT IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD AS FAR AS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH ONLY ONE (OR POSSIBLY NO) FUNCTIONING HEADLIGHT(S). I CANNOT CHANGE SOCKETS AND BULBS EVERY 2-3 MONTHS AND AM WORRIED THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS WIRING HARNESS ISSUES. I KNOW SATURN IS OUT OF BUSINESS, BUT WE NEED A SAFETY RECALL TO PROTECT CONSUMERS LIKE ME WHO ARE STUCK WITH AN UNSAFE CAR. THE NEW GM SHOULD PAY FOR A RECALL. *TR

NOW MY BREAKS ARE CAUSING ISSUES, THE BREAK PEDAL SOFTENS AND GOES DOWN TO ALMOST THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSED EVERY 4TH OR 5TH TIME AND IT IS DRINKING BRAKE FLUID, I NEED TO TAKE IT THIS WEEKEND TO CHECK FOR A LEAK. NOT TO MENTION MY POWER STEERING IS MAKING LOUD WHINING SOUNDS EVERY TIME THAT I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. OH, AND MY PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT A FEW TIMES AND MY HUSBAND HAS HAD TO ACCESS THE BACK OF IT TO REPLACE IT BUT IT CONTINUES TO GO OUT. OH, AND MY TRANSMISSION CAUSED PROBLEMS TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE DEALER FIXED IT UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.. 55,000 MILES AND THIS CAR IS GIVING ME ISSUES AS IF I'M OVER 200,000 MILES! *TR

2007 SATURN OUTLOOK XR DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP IS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT OPERATION. UPON PERSONAL INSPECTION OF THE HEADLAMP, THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF AN ELECTRICAL "MELT" OF THE CONNECTOR WIRES FROM THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP. EVIDENCE SUGGEST THAT THIS PROBLEM STEMS FROM A LESS THAN SUFFICIENT WIRING HARNESS INSTALLED IN THIS AND SIMILAR MODEL GM VEHICLES FROM 2007 TO THE PRESENT. IT IS NOT PRIVY TO HAVE A CUSTOMER PAY ADDITIONAL CHARGES TO AUTHORIZED DEALERS FOR SERVICE ON LESS THAN ADEQUATE PARTS THAT WERE USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE. AS HEADLAMPS ARE AN ESSENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND NECESSARY FOR NIGHTTIME/UNCLEAR WEATHER CONDITIONS DRIVING, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS PROBLEM BE RESOLVED. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS AND FORUMS ON THIS MODEL AND SIMILAR MODEL VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTION WITH BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVERS' SIDE HEADLAMPS BEING INVOLVED. HOPEFULLY THIS REPORT WILL LEAD TO AN INVESTIGATION THAT ULTIMATELY RESULTS IN A NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE RECALL BY GENERAL MOTORS. *TR

MY LOWBEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN MY 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. I REPLACED THE LIGHT AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN A DAY LATER. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE WIRING HARNESS IS MELTED AND THE WIRING GOING INTO THE HARNESS IS BURNT. THIS IS DUE TO TOO MUCH VOLTAGE CAUSING THE HARNESS TO MELT. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MANY SATURN OUTLOOKS IT HAS YET TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS NOT ONLY A MANUFACTURE ISSUE BUT A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. THE WIRING HARNESS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE SO THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT HAS TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT MY 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM WENT OUT. UPON OPENING THE HOOD WHEN I STOPPED I NOTICED THE DISTINCT ODOR OF BURNT PLASTIC. UPON FURTHER EVALUATION WHILE REMOVING THE BULB I OBSERVED THAT THE INSULATION FOR THE WIRING HARNESS HAD MELTED OFF AND SHORTED AT THE INTERFACE BETWEEN THE WIRE AND CONNECTOR. THE CONTACT FOR THE BULB ALSO EXHIBITED CHARRING AT THE CONNECTOR CONTACT. AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT BULB ALERTED ME THAT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN (09-08-42-004) ADDRESSING THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS HARNESS SHOULD THE HEADLIGHT FAIL. I FEEL THIS IS A OEM DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE HARNESS CAN SHORT OUT TO THE POINT TO WHERE THE INSULATION IS MELTED COMPLETELY OFF EXPOSING BARE WIRES. *TR
