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.

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

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

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.

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

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...

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...

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.

ROOF LEAKS AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK

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.

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.

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...

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...

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

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....

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

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...

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...

THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. *TR

THE CAR JUST CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD AND IN THE DASH. THE FRONT OF THE CAR BURNED UP COMPLETELY. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE FUSE FOR THE TURN SIGNALS BUT INADVERTENTLY REMOVED ANOTHER FUSE. AS A RESULT, THE GEAR SHIFTER, DOOR LOCKS AND A FEW OTHER COMPONENTS BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WOULD BE A FAILURE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REPLACE THE FUSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

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...

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. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME CONCERNING THIS. *TR

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...

AFTER A STRONG RAIN STORM THAT LASTED MOST OF THE NIGHT WOK UP TO FIND OUT THAT THE AC BLOWER WILL NOT WORK IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR ONLY THE BACK BLOWER FOR REAR PASSENGERS WORKED. WITH THE BLOWER BEING OUT THERE IS NO DEFROST FOR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AS WELL. WENT ONLINE AND FOUND ON THE SATURN FORUM A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON WATER DAMAGE 2009-11-13 TSB 07-08-57-002F THE VIDEO CLEARLY SHOWS HOW TO REMOVE THE BLOWER MOTOR AND CHECK FOR WATER DAMAGE, TOOK MY BLOWER MOTOR OUT AND FOUND THE MOTOR LOCKED UP WITH ONE OF THE MOTOR SCREWS SHOWING OXIDATION FROM WATER AND ELECTRICITY CONTACT AND THE COVER WHERE THE BLOW MOTOR SITS HAS A PAD THAT HAS WATER MARKS. *TR

SUNROOF STARTED LEAKING AND LEAKED INTO THE FUSE BOXES AND CAUSE THE FUSE BOX AND WIRES TO CORRODE WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT SHUT OFF COULD DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TAKE THE KEY OUT AND IT WOULD STILL RUN. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL WORK FOR AWHILE BUT THEN IT WILL GO OUT. THE LIGHT WILL START WORKING AGAIN (AT LEAST TEMPORARILY) I CAN SWITCH FROM THE "AUTO" LIGHT SETTING TO "MANUAL" AND BACK AGAIN AND IT COMES ON FOR A MOMENT THEN GOES BACK OUT. 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, MY SON WON'T EVEN RIDE WITH ME AT NIGHT B/C HE'S SO AFRAID WE WILL BE STOPPED AND GET A TRAFFIC TICKET. PLEASE HELP! *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...

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM BULB WAS OUT. BOUGHT REPLACEMENT BULBS BUT NONE OF THEM WORKED. INSPECTED HARNESS AND IT APPEARS THAT THE CONNECTOR IS MELTED/DAMAGED SOMEHOW. *TR

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...

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

IF YOU DRIVE THIS SATURN THROUGH A PUDDLE AFTER A RAINSTORM, THE POWER FAILURE LIGHT COMES ON, THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AND THE CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER...THIS ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH IN A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE TEMP GAUGE ALSO GOES UP HIGHER THAN NORMAL AND THE LIGHTS DIM. *TR

SUNROOF LEAKING WATER INTO THE PASSAGE COMPARTMENT AND DOWN THE FRONT FIREWALL AND GLOVE BOX COMPARTMENT. WATER ENTERED INTO THE COVER THAT HIDES THE FRONT A/C BLOWER MOTOR. MOTOR IS SITTING IN 1-2 INCHES OF WATER. MOTOR STARTING TO CORRODE AND STOPPED WORKING. LUCKY THERE WASN'T A FIRE. FOUND UTUBE VIDEO DESCRIBING HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. REMOVED COVER TO BLOWER AND FREED UP BLOWER MOTOR CORROSION. ORDERED A REPLACEMENT BLOWER MOTOR. DRILLED 2 HOLES IN THIS COVER TO ALLOW FUTURE WATER COLLECTION A DRAINAGE ROUTE OUT OF THIS COVER. SUNROOF NEEDS RECALLED AND BLOWER MOTORS NEED RECALLED AS WELL. HTTP://YOUTU.BE/FNYKJLHUSXI COST TO REPAIR THIS WAS $78 FOR PART AND ABOUT 1 HOUR LABOR. *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. DEALER CHARGES SO FAR ARE $500 TO REPAIR THE LEAK, $500 TO REPLACE THE FUSEBOX, AND STILL NOT SURE ANY OF THOSE REPAIRS HAVE RESOLVED THE TWO INITIAL ISSUES. *TR
