I WAS DRIVING MY NEW 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK, AND GOING TO PICK-UP MY CHILDREN, ON A HIGHWAY, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO 2ND GEAR. ALSO, IT WAS MAKING A CLUNKING/GRINDING NOISE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME BECAUSE I COULDN'T DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT AS REQUIRED BY LAW. I FEEL AS IF IT PUT MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN'S LIFE IN DANGER. THIS ISN'T ALL, MY RPM METER WAS GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND OF COURSE I HAD TO TAKE IT TO SEE WHAT CODES IT PULLS UP. MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC REVIEWED AND TESTED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WHICH IS BAD. YES, THIS COULD'VE BEEN WORSE BUT GM HAS PUT MORE THAN MYSELF IN DANGER BUT ALSO ANYONE WHO'S DRIVING THESE VEHICLES AND THEY EITHER WON'T GO OR JUST SHUT OFF.

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED ON DASH AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF EVEN IF SOMEBODY IS SEATING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT . I HAVE TRIED CALLING DEALERS, SATURN-GM BUT HAVE GOTTEN NO HELP WITH THE RESOLUTION OF THIS DEFECT. THEY SAY THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE SENSOR BUT ACCORDING TO A LOT OF FORUMS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY DEFECT NOT JUST A RECALL. THIS TECHNICALLY COULD HURT OR KILL SOMEONE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE I WILL TAKE THIS AS HIGH AS I CAN TAKE IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AT LEAST 18 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A LEAK AND WATER CAME OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

I PURCHASED A USED 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. A WEEK LATER I NOTICED MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT OUT. THE LIGHT STARTED TO GO IN AND OUT THEN FINALLY IT STOPPED WORKING. IN APRIL I PAYED $130 TO REPLACE IT. A FEW WEEKS TO A MONTH LATER THE LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. I HAD A FRIEND LOOK AT IT AND THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE. I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND ASKED ABOUT A RECALL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NO RECALL AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL COST ME. THEY SEEMED MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MUCH THE MECHANIC WILL GET PAID THAN TRYING TO HELP ME. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED

PURCHASED 2007 SATURN IN JULY 2007. HAD ISSUE WITH BOTH HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING INTERMITTENTLY IN FALL OF 2009. ONE WOULD GO OUT AND THE OTHER WOULD STAY ON. TOOK IT FOR SERVICE ON 10/20/09 AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY AND TOOK IT TO GET SERVICE ON 4/8/10. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS AS THEY COULDN'T FIND THE FLICKERING PROBLEM. FINALLY FOUND IT AND REPLACED PASS. SIDE HEADLIGHT. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR SERVICE ON 3/13/13 AS THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS GOING OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY. THEY REPLACED THE HEAD LAMP BALLAST. 3/24/16 I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AS THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT WAS GOING OFF/ON INTERMITTENTLY BUT SEEMED TO WORK WHEN I WOULD CHANGE FROM AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL. THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THE HEADLIGHT WAS OPERATIONAL. CURRENTLY, AS OF 7/25/16, THE FRONT DRIVER HEADLIGHT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE GIVEN UP TRYING TO GET IT FIXED. THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS.

AIR BAGS KEEP WARNING ON AND FORCE TO VACATE THE SEAT ON WEARING SEAT BELTS WEARING, DASH BOARD LOSE POWER AND BACK AFTER COUPLE MINUTES.STEERING MAKE NOISE ON BACKING

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING THROUGH DANGEROUS TERRAIN. MULTIPLE TIMES ON ALL TYPES OF ROADWAYS. WHOLE PACKAGE IS LEAKING AND DEALER STATES THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK, PUMP AND LINES NEED REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH ALIGNMENT, VEHICLE NOW HAS 83000 MILES ON IT. COST PER THE DEALER IS AROUND $2800. MOSTLY NOTICED WHILE BRAKING AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. CAN REGAIN STEERING BY RELEASING BRAKE AND ACCELERATING. SPEED DOES NOT MATTER AS IT HAPPENS BOTH FROM STAND UP TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. DIRECTION DOES NOT MATTER AS IT SEIZES UP TURNING BOTH TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. NOT SAFE FOR TRAVEL ESPECIALLY WITH OCCUPANTS.

SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING IS LIT. SATURN SAYS NO AVAILABLE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. RECALL 07043 WAS PERFORMED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO COMPLETE SERVICE.

LIFTGATE WAS NOT STAYING UP - THERE WAS A RECALL AND I TOOK IT IN - NOW.......I HAD MINE 'FIXED' AND WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO TRADE IN, LOW AND BEHOLD IT STARTS TO OPEN THEN CLOSES RIGHT AWAY AGAIN. THEY DIDN'T CHANGE ANY PARTS, THEY ONLY 'REPROGRAMMED' THE MOTOR PER THE PAPERWORK. I JUST CALLED THE DEALER REPAIR SERVICE AND THEY SAY, I AM RIGHT THEY DIDN'T THE STEPS ARE TO FIRST 'REPROGRAM' AND IF THAT FIXES IT THEY DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING OUT. NOW MY HATCH OPEN PARTLY THEN CLOSES AGAIN, WITHOUT EVEN GOING ALL THE WAY UP AND I WAS JUST TOLD, BRING IT BACK UP AND WE WILL CHECK IT AND IT IF DOES NOT LINK TO THE RECALL, THEY WILL NEED TO DO MORE TESTING. GO FIGURE'.. MY CAR WASN'T DOING THIS WHEN I TOOK IT IN, AND NOW MYSTERIOUSLY THIS HAPPENS. NOT HAPPY!!!!!!
