I brought a Saturn Outlook in 2009 and had numerous issues similar to what has been detailed in this website. - both headlights failed to work - one covered under warranty & cost of second one reimbursed by gm under the recall - starter failed - covered under warranty - failed water pump at 73k - I paid for replacement - steering gear and pump replacement because the steering locks up at low speed @ 78k my third vehicle but first gm and the experience with Saturn/gm have been frustrating. I see others have experienced similar failure on this mode. Documenting these vehicles for future use or possible help from gm or dot.
I have a 2009 Saturn Outlook. Myself and several others have had Outlooks and GMC acadias that have had to replace the water pumps. This seems like either a design or defective part issue with these gm cars. It seems like a recall should be done.
Owner noticed a whining noise when turning at low speeds. Dealer diagnosed a failed steering rack (pinion), leaking power steering pump, and leaking water pump. Vehicle was purchased new in 2009 and currently has 39,000 miles (no longer under bumper to bumper warranty).
