2008 SATURN OUTLOOK Complaints

1. AT 38000 MILES MY 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK LOST ONE OF THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS. IT HAS GONE COMPLETELY OUT. 2. IT IS A CONSTANT FAILURE 3. I REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULB, BUT WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE OLD BULB EXPOSED, I NOTICED THAT THE SOCKET WAS ALL MELTED AND HAD A VERY THIN GAUGE WIRE CONNECTING IT TO THE VEHICLES POWER. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP WIRING HARNESS MELTED, CAUSING HEADLAMP NOT TO WORK. CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. REPLACING WIRING HARNESS AND LIGHT BULB. *TR

WANT TO PURSUE THE "LEMON LAW" ON A 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 20K MILES ON IT BUT HAS BEEN TO DEALER 5X FOR REPAIR OF AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE MANUAL CLEARLY STATES IN THE WARRANTY THAT WHEN THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED BY THE DEALER. THE ISSUE IS ONE OF SAFETY IN THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED AND/OR CAN DEPLOY WITHOUT INCIDENT. SAID VEHICLE WAS IN 2X THE MONTH OF APRIL 2010, MAKING IT THE 5TH TIME FOR REPAIRS ON THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR MUCH LESS TRANSPORTING OTHER CHILDREN UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

WIRE HARNESS FOR FRONT HEAD LIGHTS DEFECTIVE. I WAS CHARGED $25.00 TO GET THE PASS SIDE FIXED SIX WEEKS AGO, NOW THEY WANT $200.00 TO FIX THE DRIVER SIDE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAVE A 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. THE WIRING HARNESS IS BAD AND THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE IS VERY HIGH ($750). THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS AND COMMENTED IN FORUMS ON THE WEB. THE PROBLEM OCCURS AT RANDOM TIMES. DURING DAYLIGHT, BUT MORE DANGEROUSLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS NO WARNING. I HAVE REPLACED 7 BULBS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS AND TONIGHT BOTH LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING HOME. IN ORDER TO GET HOME IN SAFETY I HAD TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW WITH THIS LINE OF VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK AND THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE SHOP TWO SEPARATE TIMES AND HAD THEM FIXED. THREE MONTHS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT, THEN A WEEK LATER IT CAME BACK ON. TWO WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER LIGHT WENT OUT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN IT CAME BACK ON. LAST NIGHT NEITHER OF MY HEADLIGHTS WERE WORKING. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE HERE. TO ATE I HAVE SPENT NEARLY $700.00 ON GETTING THE HEADLIGHT TO WORK PROPERLY. I NEED THE VEHICLE TO WORK AS IT IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE. WHAT IF I WAS TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT AND THEY BOTH WERE OUT, AN EMERGENCY ACCIDENT IS BOUND TO HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK HAS STUCK IN THE FULL THROTTLE POSITION FOUR TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE LATEST WAS JUST TODAY WHEN I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND TO MERGE WITH THEM I APPLIED FULL THROTTLE. WHEN I RELEASED THE THROTTLE THE CAR JUST KEPT ACCELERATING BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, PULL OFF THE ROAD, AND ADJUST THE FLOOR MAT TO RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS EASILY REPRODUCIBLE AND HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES ALREADY. *TR

2008 SATURN OUTLOOK HEADLIGHT. THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT IS GOING ON AND OFF. THE WIRING IS HOT TO THE TOUCH. PLUS I CAN'T GET TO THE LIGHT AREA WITHOUT TAKING OFF THE BUMPER SKIN. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM ON MY 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK WENT OUT. WE REPLACED IT THEN 2 WEEKS LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SOCKET BECAUSE IT WAS BURNED OUT AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE NOT YET CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE $750.00 TO REPAIR IT. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP BURNED OUT. REPLACED WITH FACTORY BULB AND FAILED ONCE AGAIN. REPLACED ONE MORE TIME AND NOTICED DISCOLORED SOCKET. THE BULB FAILED A THIRD TIME. REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO SATURN 4/14/2010. *TR
