HI! I RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP CALLED EPB AUTO. THE CAR I PURCHASED WAS DESCRIBES AS HAVING NO RECALLS NOR OTHER PROBLEMS BESIDES THE ABS LIGHT (WHICH I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER WOULD GO OFF WITH NEW TIRES) ON AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER SPECIFIED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WAS JUST THE GAS CAP. WHICH HE CLAIMED THAT THE MECHANIC READ WITH HIS COMPUTER. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS, ALSO CLAIMED HE'D REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. WHICH HE DID NOT. I TRIED TO CALL TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. HE CLAIMED THE MOBILE MECHANIC WON'T BE ABLE TO COME OUT UNTIL MONDAY. MY WHOLE VITALITY RELIES ON THAT VEHICLE AND I CANNOT FIND A MECHANIC THAT WILL FIX THE RECALLS. PLEASE HELP! RECALLS INCLUDE THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING TENSIONER, WINDSHIELD, LIFTGATE, AIR BAG SENSORS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK, OWNERS MANUAL SAYS IT IS THE EXTERIOR HVAC SENSOR. AFTER PLENTY OF RESEARCH HAVE DISCOVERED IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. MANY COMPLAINTS ARE OF PEOPLE REPLACING THIS SENSOR NUMERPUS TIMES ONLY TO HAVE THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION SHORTLY AFTER. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE SENSOR BE REPOSITIONED ELSEWHERE ON THE VEHICLE. WITH 100+ TEMPS AND NO WAY TO COOL THIS VEHICLE IT IS A DANGER TO ITS OCCUPANTS, ESPECIALLY BEING AN 8 SEATER MOST LIKELY TO HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK WHERE THE HEAT GETS UNBEARABLE. NOW THAT SUMMER IS HITTING WE CAN HARDLY DRIVE TOO FAR BECAUSE MY 1 YEAR OLD SON TURMS BRIGHT RED FROM THE HEAT.
