NHTSA Complaint #10662562 — 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK

APPROXIMATELY APRIL OF 2014 WE HAD THE FIRST INCIDENT: WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO "POP" INTO NEUTRAL (NO CHANGE OF GEARSHIFT LEVER, JUST ENGINE REVVED). AS THE TRUCK NO LONGER HAD POWER, WE MANAGED (THANK GOODNESS) TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER AVOIDING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. MOVED GEARSHIFT LEVER TO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE WITH NO CHANGE - ENGINE JUST REVVED AS IN NEUTRAL. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND CALLED FOR A TOW. WHILE WAITING FOR SAME, WE TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON, AND TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO BOTH WIND GAP CHEVROLET (PLACE OF PURCHASE) AS WELL AS AN INDEPENDENT AAMCO - VERDICT WAS THE SAME: BROKEN "WAVE PLATE" AND A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED AT A COST OF OVER $3000.00. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO THIS DATE. WHEN WE REFERENCED THE ENDLESS ONLINE COMPLAINTS OF SAME, GM WAS UNMOVED, ALTHOUGH THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS STILL IN EFFECT. VERY DANGEROUS - LOSE POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH MULTIPLE CLOSE CALLS!!!! HEADLIGHTS: HEADLIGHTS, BOTH LOW AND HIGH BEAM, CONTINUALLY BURN ANYWHERE FROM MINUTES TO DAYS AFTER BEING REPLACED. SWITCH ASSEMBLIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, CANNOT GET LOW BEAMS TO ILLUMINATE AT TIMES, THEN NO HEADLIGHTS AT TIMES. VERY DANGEROUS. AGAIN, ENDLESS ONLINE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. SUNROOF: ENDLESS ISSUES WITH THE SUNROOF LEAKING AND SOAKING THE FLOORBOARDS ON BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDES. TAKEN TO WIND GAP CHEVROLET, TOLD WE NEED TO HAVE SUNROOF REPLACED. AGAIN, ENDLESS ONLINE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. BASED ONLINE AND ON THIS NHTSA SITE: IT SEEMS THAT THESE ARE SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE!!!!! RECENT HEADLIGHT RECALL ON SIMILAR VEHICLES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHY IS THIS VEHICLE NOT RECALLED FOR TRANSMISSION/POWER TRAIN AND HEADLIGHT ISSUES!?!? *TR
