Dealer diagnosis of code for "passenger presence" module fail, with recommendation of replacement of passenger presence seat ass'y at cost of $960 - not yet completed. Elevated to gm customer assistance. Appears to be a chronic, ~500 ppm issue on the 2007-2008 model years of the gm lambda platform (Saturn Outlook, GMC acadia, and Buick enclave). Research of NHTSA complaints against posted sales quantities shows that this issue continues into 2015 for the 2007-08 models, with virtually no issues for 2009 and newer model year vehicles.

15 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2014

Bought this piece of crap car out of desperation from a pay as you go rip off car "dealership" who told me nothing about this cars faults and it's done nothing but bite me in the ass since then. Leaks like a stuck pig, causing water to pool at the floor mats, when its cole the inside of the windshield frosts. Headlights will both shut off while driving, battery died so I charged it then the radio went haywire. Opened up the battery terminal to find my battery was encased in ice due to the leaky sunroof, the battery was sparking and smoking. Windows won't go down all of a sudden. I can't wait to get rid of this car. Never again. So dangerous it's ridiculous.

16 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2014

My dashboard light has been indicating that the passenger side seat airbag was off. I had the dealership check to see if it was under recall as I had found reference to there being a recall in February of 2007 (a month prior to our purchase) indicating we could get false readings and our computer needed to be reset. The dealership informed us that it isn't covered under recall and it is the under the seat modulator unit that is defective. I am seeing hundreds of similar complaints registered on various sites. I now can't have anyone sit in my passenger seat as it is a $700 repair that is beyond our means. The 2008 Saturn is under recall for this very issue, why wasn't the 2007 included?.

17 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2014

Roof leaks from sunroof /moonroof. Everytime it rains my 2007 Saturn Outlook roof leaks. The water travels into the pillars and where the air bags are stored in the columns. I am not sure if this will effect air bag operation or deployment. Leaks into the glove box and behind dashboard as well as into the rear passenger / storage area. The floors are saturated and the vehicle smells of mold. Random dashboard lights come on periodically.

18 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/23/2014

I was struck causing an accident that completely damaged the right front and right side quarter panel. All components had to be replaced as they could not be repaired. No air bags deployed. My 89 year old mother who was a passenger in the front struck her head on the right window door. She would have hit the dash if she wasnt wearing a seat belt. I contacted gm and was told that my vehicle was not included in the recalls. The dealer charged me 97. 47 to check it and found that the passenger presence module was bad and it would cost me $827. 00+ for repair.

19 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2013

Thought this was a good deal just purchased on 11/4/13. With a 100,000 mile warranty. Yeah right have had nothing but trouble since I drove it. And they told me they fixed all the problems. Today is the 13th they told me to take it out of town on my planned trip and see how it does. The farther we drove the worse the transmission kept slipping. So on the 12th I took it back in and the service dept. Told me they are limited on what they can fix on a used car even under warranty. And my airbag service light came on and they couldn't fix that told me I would have to take it to another dealership and they could fix that out of my pocket cost. Something needs to be done with these vehicles before somebody gets seriously hurt! somebody please help me what can I do. .

20 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2013

My 2007 Saturn Outlook continuously leaks water from the roof every time it rains. The leaking water is not one drip here and there, but a gush of water will come out of these areas and will continue to leak while it is raining. The water will drain out of the headliner, the airbag areas, the light fixtures, the seat belt areas all in the front and back of the car and will also drench the passenger and driver side floor boards. This has caused my car to have a musty moldy smell to it. I find it very discerning that after you purchase a vehicle, it will have these safety issues such as water leaking. I understand that these things happen, but I am afraid that this will cause a shortage with the wiring systems in my vehicle thus causing even more damage. Since the water started leaking from the roof, I have had airbag issues and windshield wiper issues (it runs constantly). I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone.

21 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2012

Leaks in sunroof, water coming out of airbag area. Master cylinder for brakes went out.

22 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/18/2012

I noticed my Outlook leaking water 3 mos. After I bought it. The airbags on passenger side stopped working. The car would not shut off in the garage. The dealer states its a leak that has allowed water to ruin the electronics all over the vehicle. This is a problem all over the internet. No one can fix it. They have 7 tech bulletins. . . Still no fix. The dealership wants 1500. 00 to "start" looking into the problem. Please help me! I can't drive a moldy car with intermittent airbags and possible power steering malfunction with my kids in the car! this will bankrupt me. What do I do?? no one online has found a solution. . . Just 1000's of dollars and scary situations on the road (defrost blowers breaking, losing power steering, engine quitting, water dumping on their laps). Please make them recall this or help us fix it!.

23 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2012

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Outlook. The contact was driving 40 mph when water leaked from both sides of the front air bags. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 94,000 and the current mileage was 101,000. Updated 04/13/12.

24 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2011

Front air bag ip lamp is intermittent and will often show off event though there is a 190 lb. Passenger in the passenger seat. Recycling the key, having passenger enter/exit vehicle results in random state. I. E. Sometimes the light is on and will go off at random times and other times is will simply remain off even with someone in the seat. Dealer finds nothing wrong since there is no dtc set but the vehicle is unsafe as you never know if the front air bag will really deploy in an accident.

25 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2010

2007 Saturn Outlook airbag saftey light failure in passenger.

26 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2010

Our 2007 Saturn Outlook experienced complete system failure -ie everything turned off while driving - more than once. After many trips, some by tow truck, to the dealership service department, gm finally resolved the issue by replacing the car's computer. This was after several near death experiences driving the car and suddenly being without brakes or steering. Now the car leaks, filling the floor mats with water, splashing the driver with water at every change of speed. The seatbelts have black mold, and starting last week, the car isnt starting, likely due to water in the electrical system. We believe the water coming out of the air bag holes may prevent the air bags from functioning properly in a crash. We are not alone with these problems. Please see ' Saturn leaking sunroof' forum on edmunds. Com for many more customer complaints just like ours. We have been in touch with gm but expect to be told to 'go to the dealer'. . Again. The chevy dealer we use does not know how to resolve the issue, despite it being a widespread problem with this car (also the other makes of this same model). We do not believe the car is safe. This car was a lemon from the start, but nothing has been done about it.

27 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2008

We have had problems starting from a few months after purchase. Fast forward to Jan 2012 we had a major leak inside the car. Water making a "swishing" sound overhead from water storing in the headliner. Water was coming from air bags, shade covers, below the glove box, and inside the windows. Had a major leak in passenger floor. The air hasn't worked since sept. And makes a loud "hissing" sound, instrument panel just disappears, drivers side headlight goes on and off. Gm won't do anything. Took to dealer and paid $640 to fix headliner leak, but reading other posts it's a matter of time before it will leak again. All other issues still not working and all due to water leaking in. This is so scary and frustrating that nothing has been done about this. Lots of complaints for the same issues all over edmonds. Com and other sites. We can't afford to fix all this, or get rid of the car. And who would buy it with all the issues?? please help all us owners!!.
