I have a wire that burned-out and it controls my windows, sunroof,my ac controls, and then also my transmission is shutering.

Multiple time my vehicle became wet in the inside due to a sun roof drainage tube issue. My vehicle stopped while in motion and there was a burning smell. Now none of my windows will go up and the car no longer starts. I have a loud knocking sound coming from the dash when I turn the heater or ac on. Now my dash shows service theft deterrent system. The first time I thought maybe the tube was clogged. I now come to find out that is was/is a on going issue with gm. I could've lost my life or been possibly rear-ended at highway speed due to gm not knowing how to make a sunroof.

My low beam headlight started to intermittently go out for a while. Then it went out completely. I go to replace the bulb only to find that the bulb wasn’t the actual issue. The harness, wires, and socket to the bulb were blackened, burnt and melted. So now it all needs to be replaced. I’ve seen on several forums that has happened to so many people that have a car manufactured by gm. The original wiring is not quality enough for the heat and current that goes through there.

While driving. Lost power, steering locked up. Discontented and reconnected the battery. Problem cleared.

Water leak from sunroof.

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.

Water is leaking into the vehicle cause electrical malfunctioning. Water is collecting into the battery compartment. Electrical problems caused by water include radio, lights; dashboard( shuts off for a few seconds then comes back on) and interior, door locks, stability track malfunction at which point the car will shake and shut itself off while being driven above 40 mph.

I was driving on the highway. I drove into some water on the road and lost steering. The wheel became very very hard to steer. Then it happened a few more time on the highway. Tonight, driving home in the rain and went threw a puddle of water on the road. Lost steering ability and had to stop the car in the middle of the road. I could not make my turn for the steering was some hard. I also noticed that the charging light came on as well when I went threw this puddle of water. The should be a recall a. S. A. P. This should not happen.

When starting the stabilitrak light comes on and the buzzer goes off, then the check engine lights flickers off and on. This causes a rough idle like a misfire . I have had plugs and coil packs replaced as well as shocks and struts. Error still remains. Mechanic says one issue triggers the other. Have seen 100's of other similar complaints on full size gm trucks and other suvs. Hopefully soon a recall issue.

My sunroof was leaking in my car and caused an electrical problem the auto shop said it would cost 7000 to fix it.

While driving vehicle, the vehicle steering wheel started to lock or stalling while taking a turn. Initially this was a rarely occurrence. So I went to an auto shop to make sure that steering fluid is at its proper levels; it was. Then a week later, the steering started to lock frequently while taking a right or left turn. I then went to another mechanical shop for a second opinion and they found nothing. Just yesterday(2/9/2019), my vehicle stared to hum and the steering wheel once again tried to lock on me while making another turn and almost caused me 2 accidents on a major road. I was then told to look up to see if there's any recalls on my vehicle and I found nothing but I did find the exact same issues that my Saturn is experiencing currently from previous recalls.

My first issue is that everytime it rains, water leaks from the sunroof. The area around the sunroof will be soaked and dripping down into the seats and down to the floor. Also my liftgate does not work. I have to manually lift it all the way up and down. I can hear the gears turning but they don't work.

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.

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.

It looks like it started near the battery in the back of the truck . I had no problems prior to this happening . It just all of the sudden caught on fire.

The speakers in will randomly stop working. Most of the time most of the speakers work, but often the only speakers working will be both in the drivers door and the tweeter in the passenger door, all other speakers are dead. Sometimes when I hit a bump some speakers will start working then fail again.

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.

Low bean headlights are getting so hot they started melting the headlight housing.

The passenger airbag turns off and on regardless if a person (adult) is sitting in the seat or not. This has been happening for about three months now. I contacted the dealer and they said that it was not a recall item nor would it be a safety issue. I feel that if I am in an accident and the air bag does not deploy that the passenger could be in imminent harm at the fault of gm. They will not replace the sensor unless there is a recall. This is a very common problem with several other vehicles as reported on multiple online vehicle owner forums. Gm needs to do the right thing and protect their customers from faulty equipment.

The sun roof is defective causing water to enter into the frame of the car and causing electrical malfunction to the elctrical / pcm as well has caused numerous notifications on instrument panel also causing instrument panel to not light up while driving at night with no functions, turning off headlights as well this is a known issue via Saturn forums and youtube videos as well as TSB number of 07-08-57-002f. I feel very unsafe driving and this is my only vehicle. While driviving you can hear water moving around throughout the body of the car and there is also water in the doors have shorted out the speakers this is not normal wear and tear. My car also remains on when the key is in the off position.
