Headlights Turn Off While Driving problems of the 2009 Saturn Outlook

Driver headlight harness overheats, causing headlight to go out. This has happened three times now in less than two years. I replaced the connector harness and within a few weeks it had melted and the light was out again. When I looked up what to do I found out that many other Saturn Outlook owners have the same problem.

The wire harness for the front headlights fails after you change the build causing the light to short out.

While driving home at night, the driver side headlight went out. Next day I bought new lamps and replaced both of them but the driver side headlight still didn't turn on. I did notice a burning smell coming from the harness and lamp socket on the driver side. It seems that the headlight had overheated and melted the wiring harness and some of the socket assembly. After doing some research I found that many people have had the same issue with these vehicles and believe that this should be considered a recall for safety reasons. This could potentially cause and electrical fire or a serious traffic accident while driving at night.

Drivers side headlight and running lights went out.

Passenger side headlight went out, dealer said it was the entire 'assembly'. A few weeks later (today), the driver side headlight went out. I read all of the other similar complaints about this same issue. Seems to me that a recall should be issued by gm.

1. Daytime running lights automatically come on and stay on unless manually turned off by driver. 2. The wiring harness in which the headlight connects melts due to excessive heat causing the headlight to fail and the harness having to be replaced. 3. The repair at the dealer costs $250. This is a common issue with the Saturn Outlook due to poor design of wiring harness.

Second headlight went out on 2009 Saturn Outlook purchased August 2008. Both times the harness needed replaced. First time the replacement was under warranty, the second time was not, but car is only 2 yrs 2mos old. Both wiring harnesses were burnt out.

2009 Saturn Outlook headlight failure due to faulty wiring harness.

Daytime running light, low beam headlight went out. Replaced bulb and light still didn't work. While reinstalling light flickered and I noticed there is a short within the harness.

We have replaced the headlight on this vehicle 3 times since October 2010. The headlight went out again last week. We took the car to a gm dealer who replaced the electrical housing to the lamp. After doing research on-line I have discovered that this seems to be a recurrent problem with the Saturn outllook. We are hopeful that they wil make this a recall on the vehicle and the electrical housing to the headlights will be replaced.

Driving and headlight goes out. Headlight has gone out two times since ownership of year and a half. I have replaced the wire harness on the driverside headlight once and going to replace it again! I will hang on to this harness for the future.

Right headlamp burnt out October 2009. Had replaced bad bulb and then failed again in November 2009. Took to dealership and was told they replaced the harness and bulb due to harness being melted. Now right headlight failed again 10-22-11. This is a big safety concern in that you can't just swap out the bulb but you have to pull off the front bumper just to replace the bulb. Thank you for your time.
