Saturn Outlook owners have reported a total of 1,936 problems for their cars built in the 4 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Saturn Outlook. The 2008 Saturn Outlook cars have the most problems reported (924 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2010 Outlook | |
| 2009 Outlook | |
| 2008 Outlook | |
| 2007 Outlook |
The following chart shows the 21 most common problems for Saturn Outlook cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's exterior lighting (486 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's electrical system (337 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Saturn Outlook of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Outlook model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Saturn Outlook model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Saturn Outlook is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
