general problems of the 2008 Saturn Outlook

Over this summer I went to start my truck and all the airbags pop out expect for the steering wheel air bag and dashboard air bag.

Airbag sensor on passenger seat stays off even when passenger is in seat. I have read many complaints from same vehicle since they were new. Also has electrical issues intermittently possibly from water leaking thru sunroof.

The contact owns a 2008 Saturn Outlook. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the mds was not communicating with the air bags. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

Water leak from sunroof.

The passenger service air bag stays on the dashboard when you start it and it won't turn off.

When I first got the vehicle in 2017 it was always parked in the garage so the problem wasn't noticed until I stopped using the garage. When it rains a lot water is leaking through the front sunroof which is then draining underneath the hood of the car in the electrical area and finally leaking through the front passenger side floor boards. It caused electrical issues with the Outlook because of the initial sunroof �clog�. Also the car could be driven but when you turned off the vehicle it would not shut down. I've seen many issues of the same problem that other owners are having as well with their Outlooks. If the numbers are there from people complaining I'm not understanding why this hasn't been investigated and turned into a recall. What starts as a sunroof leak can easily and quickly lead to thousands of dollars worth of repairs because the water is leaking under the hood area.

Baugbt the vehicle March 10 2019 no air bag cracked steering wheel sunroof leaks bad under glovebox fuse section has rust powder. Stero goes on and off only one key works to start one works to open door heater dont work im front. Baught in pueblo colorado only drive as far as walsenburg CO and back to pueblo n9 further bad gas millage.

Unknown.

There have not been any incident such as auto accidents. It just that my dash lights up stating to service my air bags. Also when stepping on my brake the seat belts don't seem to hold you . Saturn customers have complain about this on internet, so it is not a lone case. Saturn company went out of business. Who do I complain to.

Upon raining very hard water leaks into the cabin of the SUV via behind the emergency break,airbag ports and from under the glove box onto the floorboards. My vehicle stays on when the key is out of the ignition. There needs to be a recall on this ASAP. The water leaks in while driving in the rain as well as if the vehicle is sitting outside while its raining.

Took to get my vehicle scanned and got the code b0074 for the second row middle seat belt pretensioner. I was looking up any recalls on the vehicle and back in June 2014 there was a recall for pretensioners. But when I called a dealer they said there was no recall on the vehicle.

I pur hased this SUV from. Allmans in martinsburg wv early March of 2018. My service airbag stabil brakes all light come on. My axles are ready snap. While im drivi g my car dash lights will come on and my car will slow down automatically.

The light for service air bags comes on and then goes off. I'm not sure if there was a recall on my vehicle or not. But if so this needs to be fixed.

Airbags light has been stay on for a whole year since we bought it in August 2017 and we couldn't figure it out why it stays on. Brakes light keeps coming on and off and we had the brakes shecked and everything is fine. Stability trask light keeps turning on and off. Why??.

My Saturn 2008 engine light is flashing and my SUV is running bad, my airbag service light is on and my traction light is also on.

There is a leak in both corners of the sunroof allowing water to leak down into the console affecting the performance of the airbags. There are drain holes on both sides of the sun roof but the water dosent go down. The water damaged several wires under the passenger seat and it also damaged the fuel box. I did not know this until I started the car and saw smoke coming from the passenger side floorand under glove box. I took it to the repair shop where he showed me the burned fuse box and also a puddle of water underneath the passenger seat and the wires under the seat were also burned . This car has a defect in the sunroof allowing water to drain into the consol onto wires and they catch fire.

There was recall on the passenger side seat airbag the dealer supposedly fixed it but the code is back on #b0081 called dealer they said OH well the recall was fixed well if it was the code should not be back on for the same thing. Also there was a recall on the transmisson took it several times to dealer said nothing wrong then finally the solineds went out replaced them 1 month later the whole transmison went this was on a gm recall and I feel because I had complained several times before that gm should reimburse me the $5000 we had to pay to get a new transmison. The transmison went out while on the freeway and the airbag has been on wont go off.

When it rains, the headliner gets soaked. The water runs down arm going down in the front that connects the roof and dashboard and floods the driver side dead pedal and floor board. Water also leaks from rear sunroof glass and drips from the rear dome light and leaks to the 3rd row seats/rear compartment.

The sunroof leaks when it is closed, and this is causing water to come in to the roof of the vehicle. Water is coming in from the front air bags, the windshield, under the dash, out of the garage door opener, the visor, and the back seat belts. I now have to replace the body control module which is related to the water damaging the unit. I am fearful the with the water getting in by the airbags that if I get into an accident they will malfunction. I have also been receiving messages about servicing the stabilitrac, but when I have had it looked at the mechanic can't find anything wrong, so this could also be related to the body control module.

I started the vehicle in the am on 19 Jun 2015 and the "service air bag" light would not go out.

The service airbag message has been on for about 1 year and it appears no recall has been issued for my 2008 Saturn Outlook. I am very concerned about premature deployment of the driver/passenger airbag. I am also very concerned about no deployment at all should there be an accident. Furthermore, I have read that the seatbelt tensioners may not work properly when this message is displayed. This message stays on constantly when the vehicle is turned on while stationary and while driving. Me, my wife and 2 small children are affected by this safety concern. Please have a recall issued.

About every 5 min beping sound would sound and dashboard stated,service air bag,service brakes/stabalizer & would cutoff cruse control. Headlights very dim at night.

I am not involved in an accident. However, my seat belt (driver side) light has gone on and the dic states to check the air bags. I find the NHTSA has a recall on this problem, yet Saturn, and the dealership shows no recall. The number shown is 14v118000 which shows this vehicle. I do not wish to continue to drive this vehicle, yet can't afford an estimated $600 tab to have it fixed. Where do I go from here to find authorization to have this recall (yet not shown) fixed?.

Good morning. I would like to file a complaint against the gm dealers in lexington, kentucky. I received my letter stating that the gm dealers' service departments in my area has received the parts for my recall. I contacted rod hatfield Chevrolet on new circle rd by email to set up an appointment over a month ago (6/27/14). I set up a Saturday appointment and then was contacted by the email representative [xxx]. He contacted me by email stating they did not have the parts for my recall and I would be contacted when the parts arrive. I still have not heard from the dealership and my "service air bag" light has been on for three weeks. I also sent email to glenn Nissan/automall on richmond road) where I purchased my vehicle) about the recall parts over two weeks ago. As of today I still have not received an email, phone call, nothing in reference to the recall parts or my email from their online website. What will happen if my air bags deploy while I am driving and my passenger in the front seats or in case of an accident? the recall states if this light should activate, then I need to take my vehicle to a gm dealer right away. What should I do since neither of the two dealerships have contacted me? please send me suggestions of other gm service departments that should have the recall parts so that I may take my vehicle to them ASAP. I also will need a vehicle to drive during the service of my Saturn Outlook. Thank you and enjoy your day. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

My Outlook was involved in a front end accident. The airbags should have deployed but didn't. There was lots of smoke, smell and powder as if they had gone off but never did. This was after the supposed airbag recall had been fixed. I've had nothing but trouble with this vehicle in the 3 short months I have owned it!!.

I had been noticing the service air bag notification on my dash board. Didn't think anything of it. Brought it into hawthorne, NJ Chevrolet and they took out the seats and tested the connections and charged me for this service. About 2-3 wks later, the same notice came up on my dash board. Brought it back into hawthorne chevy and they did whatever and said they didn't find anything and didn't charge me. I kept asking if there was a recall and every time the answer was no. It is now August and the same service air bag notification has popped up again. I will be bringing it back into chevy to see what they can do.

My air bag service light came on display awhile back and I was told that gm would issue a recall but since I didn't hear from them I decided to call them and they kept giving me the run around. I told them of my concerns and for the safety of me and my family while driving in this Outlook but it didn't seem to matter to them. They were non-nonchalantly treating my problems as if it were not important to them and that it was my problem and that I should have fixed it myself. (he was being real sharp with me) so much that I could tell it was going to end up with me receiving no help from him and the company. I wish that they would own up to their mistakes and fix whats obligated to them. General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Buick enclave and GMC acadia and 2009-2013 Chevrolet traverse and 2008-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the driver and passenger seat mounted side impact air bag (siab) wiring harnesses may result in the siab and seat belt pretensioners not deploying in the event of a crash. Consequence: failure of the side impact air bags and seat belt pretensioners to deploy in a crash increase the risk of injury to the driver and front seat occupant.

Driving down the highway at 60mph when car slowed down to 10-15mph. Had to place my emergency lights on in order not to get hit by passing vehicles and move to the emergency lane. I had to turn off the car in order for the accelerator to work again. After the first incident the vehicle kept on stalling. Took the vehicle to the dealer and it turns out its the throttle body that's malfunctioning. The warranty I purchased does not cover this type of part, I don't even have a year with this vehicle. In doing my research I find out that there has been an investigation on this vehicle on foresaid problem around the time I purchased the vehicle. The investigation is still opened. Investigation number pe13-003. The Ford dealership is charging me close to $700 in order to get this part fixed. They did not provide this information to me I had to look it up my self. They also did not provide me with a renter car I had to purchase one on my own. Its just unfair.

Service airbag message began appearing and the passenger airbag off light came on. Dealership reset it but eventually the message returned and the light came back on. Dealership did further diagnosis and determined that the passenger presence system needs to be replaced. Apparently this is a known safety defect based on the numerous other incidents of failure noted on this message board.

Was driving on hwy. At 60 mph when engine began to rev and then when I came to stoplight and took off, the car would not go over 30 mph. And would jerk and then as I continued to try to get speed because of others behind me-it would not go. Had to drive 30 mph for two hours to get only 40 miles. Transmission needs to be replaced and gm is not standing behind their product. This is a hazard and there are sooo many complaints with problems just like this and no recall yet-really-so will one be made when someone is killed in an accident. Also when this began I had a 1/2 tank of gas, when I got to dealership-2 hours later-the car was on e!!!!!!!! horrible gas mileage on this too now. Passenger airbag says needs to be serviced-was like this when we purchased and dealer said they would fix-never did and this is a safety concern because it means the passenger is not safe in this vehicle, but then again, none of us are because of gm-am going to begin process with small claims court regarding all of these issues. Horrible vehicle and gm should be ashamed-no wonder I always bought non american made cars-shame on us for thinking gm would be good since it was made in USA.

2008 Saturn Outlook, water leak through seal on dash. Shorted out fuse panel allowing the car to run with key turned off and losing function of passenger air bag control. Multiple complaints of this defect in the manufacturing of vehicle. Consumer cost $1300. 00.

I have had my the children in the car when the service stabilitrac warning came on causing jerking in heavy city traffic and wouldn't allow me to go. Had it towed and the mechanic said the entire timing component was bad, this was a chevy dealership. Next I was traveling on a freeway with my children approaching an officer at the scene of a wreck my car revved very high and wouldn't shift anymore. . . . Not only with an officer at a accident but also reduced to one lane traffic due to construction. When this happened it nearly caused a collision. I had to attempt to coast to the side of the road. Mechanic said transmission needed to be rebuilt. I have spoke to Saturn and informed then of all my issues. . . Evenafter transmission repairs my car continues to jerk and stall in traffic to the point I was almost t boned by a semi!! I have had my fill of my children at risk from a poorly built car! my passenger airbag won't even kick on and is having problems. All my problems started at 50,000 miles!! my sun roof was leading and I had water gushing down my pillars had to pay for that to be serviced as well!.

The contact owned a 2008 Saturn Outlook. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree. The contact stated that the vehicle was destroyed but none of the air bags deployed. There was a police report filed and there were no injuries. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Prompted to send this complaint after the recent Suzuki air bag recall: the "service air bag" (sir, front passenger air bag) prompt appears on the dash frequently and then disappearing or until we get notification from our onstar monthly diagnostic report that the condition requires our attention. This problem occurred shortly after purchasing the vehicle in 2011 (purchased certified used), which we assumed had been corrected (history code b0021 od) but continues to this very day. We advised the dealer after subsequent and frequent service calls and were finally told by the dealer, after the dealer consulted with the factory, that this condition can be rectified at a cost of approximately $1,500. 00 since the vehicle was now outside the warranty. I wrote to gm to bring to their attention that this was not a mechanical issue but a safety issue and was told that they would not consider a no charge fix until we paid for a diagnostic service of the air bag system. I also informed the gm representative that apparently this air bag system defect is not an isolated one since I found numerous complaints regarding the sir alert on several Saturn blogs off the internet. I can't believe how a manufacturer could totally ignore a safety issue that has the potential for injury or death if there is a failure of the air bag to deploy or even deploy accidentally.

2 complaints about the Outlook. . . First, the airbag. We have had it fixed 5 times! the dealer re-routed it, put it back, replaced wiring, but to no avail. And it appears again that it needs to be serviced. This problem has been going on for over a year. Then 2nd the driver's side low light beam went out. . . . Replaced bulb three times and it didn't hold a charge for about a few days each. Gm definitely need to look at these problems. I am very frustrated that a car that just goes out of warranty has problems that need major fixing.
