Unknown we have only had this vehicle for approximately 4 months and have had soon many issues but the electrical system has been a problem non stop.

The contact owns a 2009 Saturn Outlook. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a progressive loss of electrical power without warning. Larry fannin Chevrolet Buick GMC (329 e main st, morehead, ky 40351, (800) 467-0411) indicated that the vehicle was excluded from the manufacturer internal contamination campaign (14515b) regarding the electronic chassis and replaced the electronic control module.

Takata recall, to start I have had many issues with this vehicle including having to replace my transmission. Also my vehicle does not immediately start after filling up the gas tank, not when I had been empty just filling it up in general I have to try starting it a few times before it takes. My most recent and worrisome complaint is that the front blower motor has stopped a few times and today when pulling it out it was filled with water. I have children and cannot feel safe with them in such a poor quality vehicle. I know this model has been discontinued and I can see why. There are so many issues that are known about these vehicles and nothing has been done to protect the customer, recall these vehicles, they are dangerous.

When I was entering moving traffic from a completely stopped position, a car was coming faster than I realized so I floored the accelerator and this is what happened: 1. All power to my car shut off and the car rolled forward slowing down. 2. All of the dashboard lights and symbols lit up. 3. My car jolted strongly once, sputtered (many times), and hiccupped (many times). The jolt was so strong that it threw me forward and made my seatbelt catch me. 4. At the same time as # 3, the gps rebooted itself 3 times in a row and all of the car door locks unlocked and locked themselves 3 times in a row. 5. I gently pressed the accelerator and the car accelerated but the car felt weak and I felt uncertain. I was not sure what would happen if I tried to accelerate normally so I put on my emergency blinkers and slowly drove home.

When driving at highway speeds I notice the indication lamp in the dash where speed, temp and direction is lit, flashes on and off intermittently. Also that webbing in rear seat belts does not retract and is frayed through and may result is failure to restrain occupants.

There was a leak that soaked the front passenger floor. Entire electrical system ultimately failed. Initially car continued to run with the key removed. Subsequent attempts to start vehicle resulted in key stuck in ignition and inability to start engine; battery only shows output of 4 volts!!!.

Low beam headlight harness has completely melted resulting in bulb outages. First the passenger side and now two weeks later the headlight harness on the drivers side has melted. I am being told that this is a common problem and that eventually this should be a recall due to safety.

The headlamp on the right side went out in July 2011 and we had it replaced at a gm dealership. September 20th, 2011 rolls around and the same headlamp is out again! funny thing, as I'm driving around town I'm noticing the same problem (right side even) on other gm vehicles of the same body style.

I have a 2009 Saturn Outlook with approximately 28k miles. It has leaks in the front passenger compartment. Recently the car would not turn off and the power would decrease and then surge back to normal. I am afraid to drive a car that accelerates unpredictably. We have had other electrical issues like engine lights coming on for no reason. The dealer can't recreate the problem but they don't try using water (hose or rain). I see many other people on the internet are complaining of similar problems with these cars. Please call me at [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

I have a 2009 Saturn Outlook and the front passenger headlight has gone out for the 2nd time and the vehicle has only 29900 miles on it. It was last replace when the vehicle had only 22000 miles on it. I know that multiple people have had this problem, it should be a recall due to all the issues. They say the wire harness is bad, but something is causing it to heat up too much.

Driver side headlight is inoperable. I tried replacing the bulb, fuse and relay. From further investigation I think it is the socket that is bad. This should not happen at this many miles.

The wire harness going to the low beam left and right sides burning causing the lights to go out prematurely.

I bought a new 2009 Outlook in August 2009 three times since buying the car, the battery has gone completely dead. The dealer has checked the car thoroughly and found no problems. They say that gm has put out a bulletin for an "intermittent parasitic draw", but no solution has been found to date. They are sympathetic to my problem, but can not do anything until gm finds the solution.
