2007 SATURN OUTLOOK Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

IT JERKS REALLY HARD AROUND 50-60MPH ABOUT 10 TIMES A WEEK. ABOUT EVERY OTHER DAY, WITHIN THE FIRST QUARTER MILE FROM MY BEGINNING DESTINATION, AND BEFORE REACHING A SPEED OF 30MPH, MY 07 OUTLOOK JERKS REALLY HARD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN. *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

FOR THE 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK ( SIMILAR TO GM ARCADIA) DURING NORMAL RAIN OR WET ROAD CONDITIONS (NOTHING EXTREME) WATER FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL SPLASHES ONTO THE BELT AND DRIVE PULLEYS CAUSING THE BELT TO SLIP. THE SLIPPAGE RESULT IN LOSE OF POWER STEERING, POWER FROM GENERATOR ...... THIS HAS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT ON TO A ROAD WAY FROM A STOP. THIS HAPPENS DURING ALMOST EVERY WET DRIVING CONDITION. EXAMPLE: NORMAL RAIN AND WET ROAD CONDITION, WIFE AND CHILD ARE PULLING OUT ON TO 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY, THE BELT STARTS SLIPPING, SQUEALS, WARNING MESSAGES FLASH, THE OUTLOOK MAKES IT INTO THE LANE, BUT WITH OUT POWER STEERING MY WIFE HAD TO DRIVE STRAIGHTEN ACROSS BOTH LANES AND STOP IN THE GRASS MEDIAN.
