2007 SATURN OUTLOOK Complaints

I HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT BY THE LOCAL MECHANIC TO FIND OUT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS WENT BAD. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO ITS NOT COVERED. IT SEEMS THIS HAS BEEN A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND BEFORE I PUT A NEW BULB IN, IT CAME BACK ON FOR A WEEK. MY HEADLIGHT THEN WENT OUT AND STAYED OUT. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB, I SAW THE BLACK WIRE INSULATION ON THE HARNESS WAS MELTED AND ALSO THE PLASTIC OF THE BULB CONTACT WAS MELTED. I HAVE WORKED WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR 30 YEARS AND BELIEVE THE WIRE SIZE IS TOO SMALL FOR THE CURRENT THAT THE HEADLIGHT DRAWS. *TR

2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WOULD FLASH RED ON AND OFF EVERYTIME A PASSENGER WAS GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE SEAT. THIS IS A CONTINUE CONCERN FOR ME AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I WORRY THAT IF THE AIRBAG IS FLASHING AND NOT WORKING AND WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THAT SOMEONE WOULD GET EXTREMELY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE SATURN HOTLINE TO FILE A COMPLAINT, THEY STATED THAT "MY VEHICLE/VIN # WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST". THIS IS RIDICULOUS AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND OBVIOUSLY IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FREE OF CHARGE AT MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP SINCE IT HAS A RECALL. *TR

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. GM DEALER INSTRUCTED ME THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS BROKEN AT THE PLUG WHERE IT PLUGS INTO THE LIGHT SOCKET. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND DO NOT ABOUT THIS SIGHT TO FILE THE COMPLAINT. I HAVE READ ON OTHER FORUMS AND KNOW THIS FOR SURE AND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THEN THE NATIONAL SAFETY BOARD SHOULD MAKE A RECALL ON THE ISSUE AND HAVE EVERYONE'S PROBLEM TAKING CARE OF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS MELTED. SINCE THE HEADLIGHT SOCKET WIRING HARNESS FAILED, IT CAUSED THE HEAD BEAM LIGHT TO FAIL AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP SOCKET/WIRING HARNESS MELTED. BOTH (DRIVER SIDE / PASSENGER SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLAMP SOCKET/WIRING HARNESS HAVE MELTED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. LIGHT BULB WAS OEM BULB AND WAS NOT BURNT OUT. NSTB NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL AND GET GM TO REPLACE WITH MORE SUITABLE SOCKET/WIRING HARNESS. *TR

DRIVERSIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP SOCKET/WIRING HARNESS MELTED. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED (PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP SOCKET/WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED AT SATURN DEALERSHIP IN 2009. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP IS BURNT OUT AND THE HOUSING IS MELTED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE AND FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IS A POSSIBILITY! *TR

THE LOW BEAM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE QUITE WORKING, WE REPLACED BULB AND NOW NEITHER LOW BEAM WILL WORK. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS. *TR

MY SATURN OUTLOOK BEGAN TO FAIL ELECTRICALLY LAST WEEK. . . RESULTING IN A DIAGNOSIS OF CLOGGED SUNROOF DRAINS. I HAVE READ TO GREAT EXTENT HOW THIS IS A SPECIFIC DEFECT OF THESE SATURN (NOW GM) VEHICLES AND YET THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT CLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY?! I AM BLOWN AWAY BY THE ALMOST $2000 PRICE TAG TO FIX WHAT IS IN EFFECT THEIR FAULT. *TR
