Driver side headlight wire harness arcs and causes light to fail. Replacing lightbulb temporarily fixes issue. Light fails and causes loss of light while driving at night. Also, potential fire hazard.
The headlights went out while I was driving home in the early evening, reducing my visability and the ability for others to see my vehicle. Fortunately, it wasn't night yet and I was still able to navigate home, however had it been just an hour later it would have been completely dark and siginificantly more unsafe for this incident to have occurred. The wiring harness is a known defect by gm and steps should be taken to remedy it. This can create unsafe road conditions for Saturn Outlook drivers.
The contact owns a 2008 Saturn Outlook. The contact stated that water was leaking into the vehicle from the sunroof and causing the electrical system to malfunction. The parking brake signal would sporadically illuminate with a chiming noise. The manufacturer advised the contact that a manufacturer's recall was currently out for the failure but the contact's VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 42,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The driver's side headlight is not working because the wiring harness is melted. This is the second time I have had this problem on this vehicle.
