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

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.

Water started dripping down into the glovebox, every time it rains it gets soaking wet and there's some problems with the electrical panel.

I have had several issues since day one transmission replaced at 40k miles they only rebuilt so have had issues ever since still having issues ever since major electrical dashboard goes dark when driving flashes after it rains I loose power steering when driving for literally a minute sunroof leaks through airbags service has been checking for over 3 years now other issues I had prior to your extended warranties however no im over the 120k mile limit this vehicle has continual dangerous issues and now that you no longer manufacturer I feel gmac doesn't care and the cost to fix when repais are needed are outrageous I am now at 200k miles however this all started from the beginning through warranty and with the bulk once warranty expired this is a dangerous vehicle the steering and electrical alone.

Dlr lights went out, poor gas millage, transmission shifts are not like a regular transmission the gears are staying to long before shifting.

Passenger lowbean goes out while driving.

I have replace my low beam on the passengers side a few times in a year, this last time the wiring had melted. Because of this I had to pay a hundred dollar ticket for a light because I couldn't get it fixed in 24 hours. This is a safety issue, gm should be making this a mandatory recall. . . .

When it rains, the headliner gets soaked. The water runs down arm going down in the front that connects the roof and dashboard and floods the driver side dead pedal and floor board. Water also leaks from rear sunroof glass and drips from the rear dome light and leaks to the 3rd row seats/rear compartment.

Headlamps (driver side and passenger side) low beams keep burning out every 3-4 months.

Roof leaks and passenger side window and door locks do not work.

I was driving along and my dashboard went dark, you couldn't read the mileage, or any data that should show up in that window, the battery level showed lower then normal however stopped to have battery and alternator checked and both were working normally per mechanic. When stopped car and turned back on data was viewable, then airbag light came on - stayed on for about an 30 min. Then went back off. There was an issue with roof leaking - dealership had to repair and now I think this is linked to that issue. However, not sure if others are having this same issue and don't feel I should be held responsible for something that the dealer should have checked out prior to correcting leaking. Have there been any other owners with issues regarding this?.

My right head light goes out, I have changed the bulbs too many times and the harness. My stability track comes on and I can loose power the first time I was traveling out of town on the highway, and by grace of god I was able to pull over. This car is becoming a nightmare and I think we should be given some kind of compensation. . . Please fix these issues. . . This is an ongoing problem for the last 3yrs.

Bought this 2007 Saturn Outlook new in April 2007. . August 2008 first time I noticed floor boards on passengers side wet, took to Saturn they said the drain line was clogged, oct 2008 back to Saturn they had a campaign to extend drain lines they did this. . November 2009 the drivers side is now leaking Saturn secured the drain hose for sunroof. My car has always been garaged until oct 2014. Now that it is parked out in the elements I have a major roof leak. Took it to gm on oct 2, 2014 as I now have wet/water stains on the passengers side headliner, they said the drain was clogged fixed in 2 minutes. We had rain for a week and on oct. 24, 2014 I now noticed wet/water stains on both sides and across the windshield, under the visors and the roof panel where the interior lights and controls are for the sunroof. Take to gm dealer they say the drivers side drain hose was clogged fixed in a minute. Back to gm on Nov 15, 2014 they now say the seal around the sunroof needs to be replaced, they replace seal. Nov 17, 2014 leak is worse than ever. I have now spent $500. 00 to have a leak fixed to no avail. I have searched the internet now and see this is not an isolated incident. 100's if not 1000's of gm Saturn Outlooks with and without sunroofs have leaky roofs. It is a design flaw and gm will not own up to it. This needs to be a recall item. I am now told to spend $2,150 to replace the sunroof bucket. After reading all the horror stories about this issue I do not believe there is a fix for gm's mistake. I have a case # with gm but they don't want to hear anything. Please issue a recall on this engineed design flaw.

Driver side head light went out about a week ago,I replaced the light bulb and it worked for a few days. The same light went out again. I went to replace it ,just to notice a wire was out and the connection had melted. I looked it up and come to find out there is a faulty harness. I contacted a gm dealer and was told they were aware of it,but the extended warranty was over on 12-31-13. If this is a on going issue,why wont a recall be issued?? I don't have 400 dollars to have a new harness installed.

Driver side headlamp did not work on many occasions over 1 1/2 years. Dealer replaced both driver and passenger bulbs but drivers side went out and did not come back on. An inspection revealed a burnt / melted connection at the bulb.

I own a 2007 Saturn Outlook. Yesterday, our low beam headlamp on the drivers side went out. Thinking it would be a simple repair, I bought replacement bulbs. As I did the repair, I found that it was not the bulb at all, but a wiring harness that had frayed and sheared itself off. What was odd to me is that in order to access the lamp, I had to remove a number of protective shields, I. E. The fender skirt, and then the end cap protecting the lamp. How could anything possibly get in and shear the wire if it was that well protected? when researching this issue, I am finding that it is becoming a much more common issue that I had anticipated. I strongly recommend issuing a recall notice out to prevent other owners from experiencing the same issue I am having.

Low beam passenger side light went out and I replaced the light. Two weeks later the light went out again, I moved the connector and the light came back on. The light worked for two weeks and it went out again. I went to change the bulb and it smelled line burnt plastic. I removed the bulb and the connector was burnt on one of the sides. The wire was barely hanging on the side the connector was burnt. The wire harness seems very flimsy and very poor quality. I'm very surprised and disappointed of the poor quality of the wiring harness. This can also possibly be a safety hazard.

2007 Saturn Outlook- I have had the daytime running light on driver side replaced once. And light replaced on passenger side replaced once. Now, I do not have any lights in front on passenger side. The dealership said I need my lamp base repaired. $570!! after spending $300 on new drl.

While driving on the tollway, all electrical parts on instrument panel went completely out, and the air conditioner stopped blowing, and the radio went out. Even the speedometer stopped displaying. The entire instrument panel showed nothing. The service technician at jupiter Chevrolet in dallas charged us $770 to repair a wiring harness that they said was ruined due to a leak in a drainage hose in the sunroof and that this is common with this vehicle. I don't understand why there is no recall. This could have been very dangerous. Water had leaked into the passenger floor board as well.

Near the end of may 2012, I was backing out of my driveway which slopes slightly downward, and suddenly water started coming out of the rear overhead lights. When the car reached level ground the water then came out of the passenger-side windshield pillar and the sunroof as well. I brought it to a gm dealership and they told me the sunroof drain tubes were clogged. It cost me $90. 00 to have them clean it out. The car is normally garaged, however we had driven it during a rainstorm the day before this happened. Afterwards we started noticing some crazy things happening to the electrical system of the car. Sometimes the radio would stay on even after the key was removed and opening the doors (which normally would shut everything down. ) sometimes the front door panel speakers would not work at all, or one would work or both would work. Right now the drivers side is not working. Then the day after the car was out in a torrential rain storm sometime near the end of February 2014, it would not start at all. It was completely dead and I had to call aaa to get it started. The aaa guy said to check this car out online for electrical problems, which I did and found volumes of complaints stemming from this issue, as well as several gm technical service bulletins or TSB's as they are referred to. I once again brought it to the gm dealership which knew about the issue and repaired it at a cost to me of $810. 39. Gm has not addressed this issue directly, nor has compensated any of the consumers who own the vehicles that all have this problem, namely Saturn Outlook, GMC acadia and Buick enclave from 2008 - 2010. I feel that it is irresponsible and unethical for them to pass this problem off to the consumer. This is not a normal wear and tear issue and I want to be reimbursed, and I'd like them to inspect and repair for free the electrical system as well for other damage.

In the past few months I have had to change my passenger side head lamp. The first time it worked for about 3 weeks then went out again. I had it changed and it lasted about 10 days that time. This last time it only lasted about 6 hours before it burned out again.

The low beam head light flickers off and on and then might shut totally off.

Passenger side low beam bulb was out. Bought replacement bulbs but none of them worked. Inspected harness and it appears that the connector is melted/damaged somehow.

Since owning the vehicle for 20 months, the drivers side low beam headlamp has burned out 3 times and the passenger side 1 time.

The passenger side running light went out. I had the bulb replaced. About a month later the same light went out again. I had the light taken out and was told the wiring harness was melted and had caused the bulb to go out. So I now have to replace the wiring harness for that side. I have also been told by other Saturn Outlook owners that is a common problem with most of them.

The drivers side headlamp assembly overheated and melted causing the light to fail . This is the second time this happened with this automobile . The last incident was the passenger side headlamp assembly same exact thing happened overheated and melted causing light to fail.

I have replaced my drivers side headlamp 3 times in the last 3 months. I have read about problems with the wiring harness on these vehicles, where some have melted. Mine does not appear melted, or at least wasn't the third time I replaced it, but now this morning the headlamp burned out again. Without confidence in my headlamps, I am hesitant to drive at night.

Headlamp on drivers side low beam not working.

Discovered the drivers side harness had melted when changing the dim headlamp.

Driverside low beam headlamp socket/wiring harness melted. This is the 2nd time this has occurred (passenger side low beam headlamp socket/wiring harness was replaced at Saturn dealership in 2009.

Passenger side headlamp is burnt out and the housing is melted. I have read several complaints of the same problem online and feel this is a safety issue with this car. An electrical fire is a possibility!.

Headlamp failed, wiring melted. Next time the car may go up in flames. Dangerous!!!!!.
