Drivers side low beam headlight wiring harness and plug have melted and I have had replaced and it happens again. The air bag warning light keeps coming on, saying service airbags now. All the speakers in the car have quit working, but if you open and close drivers side rear door they will work until you hit a bump in the road.

Right headlight doesn't work. Mechanic went to replace a part and the whole harness was melted.

My passenger low beam headlight has burnt out and has been replaced at least 4 times in 1 month. It's currently 12/15/19 and it's burnt out as we speak.

My headlights keep going out randomly and this very unsafe as I am a single mother of 2 young children! I have had it fixed 4 times! the last time I took it to the shop, I was told the wiring harness keeps melting. I researched this problem and many others are also having experiencing this issue.

When I turn on headlight only one side work when I turn on high beams they come on it's a wiring issue.

The headlight wiring has melted.

Headlight bulb keeps blowing out and sometimes when changed comes on and off intermittently. Have changed bulbs numerous times but continues to happen. Bulbs seem extremely hot when they blow. We have had it rewired numerous times but looks like wires from harness are different gauges than replacements. This is dangerous because I never know when I will be without a headlight. They are dim and even when replaced by silverstar ultra, they remain dimmer than most vehicles. I know this because I can see their headlights more than mine when they are behind me. I cannot see the road hardly at all when driving with one headlight.

My headlight keeps burning out. I've bought the car used a year and a half ago and I've replaced 4 headlights and had the wiring harness replaced twice. It keeps overheating and burning out.

I have replace light bulbs in the headlights and it will work to seconds than go out again I don't what the issue is I bought the 6 difference bulbs it's still not working.

The daytime running lights have stopped working. My wife normally drives this vehicle and told me about it this week. I understand the headlight wiring harness are too small and need to changed out to a bigger gauge wire.

Having issue with lowbeam headlights not operating. I have to use high beam headlights when driving at night or during rain. Had a master mechanic look at it and he said it is the headlight harness. That it tends to melt and it will cost me an arm and a leg to replace. This should not be happening and it should be on recall because this is a dangerous situation while driving at night or during rain storms having to leave my high beams on only irritates other drivers not to mention myself.

"takata recall" front headlight wiring harness has melted at the plug on the passenger side low beam. Done research and it is to small of a wiring harness. I have changed this headlight 2 times prior to the harness melting.

Passenger side low beam headlight suffers from intermittent operation even after replacing the headlight bulb with a new bulb. When it does work, the headlight only illuminates on the auto setting. It does not work at all if I try to manually turn on the headlights. I cannot find a record of a recall for this issue on my specific vehicle based on a VIN number search, but there has been a recall for lighting issues on other Outlook models. As of 10/29/2017, the passenger side low beam headlight has stopped working altogether. This has been a problem for approximately 60 days.

My 2010 Saturn Outlook has 124,xxx miles on it. I've owned it since January of 2017. 2 or 3 months ago my passenger side low beam headlight went out. I decided that due to having to go through the wheel well to get to the bulbs, I would just change all 4 while I was in there. Everything seemed fine for about a month. Then I noticed it flickering on and off while I was driving. Or when I unlocked the car it wouldn't turn on. So I bought another bulb and changed it and it still didn't work. Took it all apart again only to find out my headlight socket had melted. So I bought a replacement, installed it and everything was great. Except for now, a week later, my bulb quit again. This is not safe. I can't drive down the road and question whether or not my headlights are going to function properly. I have read and there are a lot of people having the same problems or had the same problem at one time. This needs to be addressed. I am not going to be happy if I have to spend time and money taking this to the shop to get something so simple fixed.

The headlights on the driver and passenger side go out at the drop of a hat while driving. This is a very big safety hazard for myself and other drivers. Please issue a recall on this. This has happened several times but I am going to put the most recent date.

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

In the last 6 months I have had to replace the driver side low beam headlight 3 times. It went out again a few weeks ago and I couldn't find anyone to replace it for me at that time so I had to drive it without the low beam until today. I cannot afford to pay a mechanic fee to have it done and cannot do it myself. A friend of mine said he could fix it today so that I could go get the vehicle inspected. Once he was able to get to the bulb and began to try to get it out the light came on. We were surprised but decided to replace it with the new one anyway. So once the new bulb was in I drove it to a nearby inspection sight to get the inspection done. I passed inspection and continued about my day. When leaving work tonight I realized that the headlight is out again. Please help me with this problem because I cannot afford to pay for costly repairs or tickets over this matter and don't feel that I should have to if there is a manufacturer defect in the headlights or related items. Changing the light bulb is challenging and especially frustrating when it goes out the day it was changed.

The low beam headlights burn out approximately every 3-4 months. It appears that there is melting of the lighting electric harness. When the headlights go out, the road is not illuminated as much making it a safety hazard.

Complete loss of low beam headlights while driving at night.

Headlights wire harnesses burnt.

I purchased a used 2007 Saturn Outlook in February of 2016. A week later I noticed my passenger headlight out. The light started to go in and out then finally it stopped working. In April I payed $130 to replace it. A few weeks to a month later the light went out again. I had a friend look at it and they discovered it was the wiring harness. I looked online and found out that this has happened to many people. I called my local gm dealer and asked about a recall. I was told it was no recall and they don't know how much it will cost me. They seemed more concerned about how much the mechanic will get paid than trying to help me. I'm very disappointed.

Drivers side headlight is dim. Does not even put light on the road. Passengers side headlight is bright but goes on and off at random times. When I'm driving down the road at night both of them work then the passengers side goes out completely and because the drivers side is so dim I can't see.

Purchased 2007 Saturn in July 2007. Had issue with both headlights flickering intermittently in fall of 2009. One would go out and the other would stay on. Took it for service on 10/20/09 and they could not duplicate the problem. The problem persisted intermittently and took it to get service on 4/8/10. They had the car for several days as they couldn't find the flickering problem. Finally found it and replaced pass. Side headlight. Took it to another dealer for service on 3/13/13 as the passenger side headlight was going off and back on again intermittently. They replaced the head lamp ballast. 3/24/16 I took it to another dealer as the driver headlight was going off/on intermittently but seemed to work when I would change from automatic to manual. They could not recreate the problem and said the headlight was operational. Currently, as of 7/25/16, the front driver headlight goes on and off intermittently. I have given up trying to get it fixed. There is clearly a problem with these headlights.

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

The contact owns a 2009 Saturn Outlook. While inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the front passenger side headlight was not working. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or independent mechanic. The light was replaced on various occasions, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000. The VIN was not available.

The headlight wiring harness melts in these vehicles causing the light to fail, this is well documented on the internet on various forums. Early this morning my wife was pulled over by a police officer for having one working headlight, I attempted to replace the bulb and it still does not work, information on the internet lead me to discover melted wires on the light fixture, this is a huge safety problem with this vehicle. There is also a well documented problem with the front end suspension, it fails prematurely and my Outlook is also having this problem. It also has power steering failure, the air conditioning system is failing, along with all the other safety systems that need recalled on this piece of gm junk pile. I have a wife, and beautiful two year old twin girls, who use this vehicle frequently, shame on gm for putting this thing on the road, the whole thing should be recalled and shredded for scrap, owners should be fully reimbursed the current value of vehicle.

Melted low beam headlight wiring harness. Bulbs have been replaced numerous times and now there is no low beam headlights at all.

I had my passenger low beam light already fixed because of this issue with the wiring harness to the low beam light melt. Now my driver side headlight went out and its the same issue as before with the wiring harness melting and the light not working on some days and then working the next day or later in the day when I start the car up again. This needs to be addressed by gm to get it fixed. I know there was a service bulletin put out for the vehicle that expired December 31, 2013. Both of my low beam lights have stopped working this year.

I have a 2007 Outlook xr with re-occuring headlight issues, upon further troubleshooting of the issue and removal and replacement of the low beam bulbs numerous times, I found the wiring harness at the connection point of the headlight bulbs were melted through the harness thus leaving exposed wires. Like so many have experienced this very same issue with Saturn Outlooks, this is a very high fire hazard and should be investigated further. Thanks for your time respectfully submitted.

My 2007 Saturn Outlook keeps melting the harnesses for headlights.

The headlights on my 2009 Saturn Outlook stopped working. Per the gm dealer they claimed that there is a known defect with the lighting on these vehicles. Considering these are safety items I'm not really sure why there isn't already a recall on this.

Headlight socket got hot and melted the wiring.

Passenger headlight continually burns out. We have replaced the bulb several times. I have done this myself as well as had it professionally replaced at the dealer and the bulb continues to burn out after just a few weeks. . There has to be a short in the wiring causing this. I have searched online and it looks like I am not alone and this is a widespread problem.

Both headlights no longer work . . . Unless the wires or jiggled. Both headlamp wire harnesses fail to turn on bulb.
