1 Service Brakes problem of the 2007 Saturn Outlook

Failure Date: 04/06/2019

The rear lift gate or strut support for the hatch of my 2007 Saturn, Outlook gradually fell on my son and I while putting the groceries in the car at walmart more than a few months ago; now the hatch no longer holds its weight and drops when you try to lift it, because it is pretty heavy, so as of today, I have not used the hatch for many months now, because it is not safe. I have called a few dealers that deal with Saturn, GMC even Buick and they all say that they do not work on vehicles over 10 years. (?) one of the mechanics said that he thought there was a recall on the lift gate like 3 years ago. ? I am to the point that I might as well find a local mechanic to fix the lift gate or strut for the hatch. Also, the passenger side air bag light has been on since January or February of 2019 and it won't turn off or reset?.

3 Service Brakes problem of the 2008 Saturn Outlook

Failure Date: 02/13/2018

I have 1 rear brake going out. The windshield leaks like a sieve. I have a leak somewhere near my radiator. And I'm told the chip in my transmission is going out on me. I have my dash board screeching bloody murder at me and my ears swell and I look like I have the mumps. I have taken it to the lot I'm buying from and they shrug and say OH well. This is unacceptable. I rarely if ever go on the freeway. I park off the street. I use the alarm system religiously. And it's over heating where the battery is.

5 Service Brakes problem of the 2008 Saturn Outlook

Failure Date: 01/01/2014

Jan 2014 had problems with stabilitrac / traction control and transmission entering expressway. The stabilitrac / traction control service soon light came on and then the car began shifting hard as we began to enter traffic, the car then started to lose power we got off the expressway in fear of being hit and went to the dealer were they found nothing wrong. The car continued to do this on and off for some time for the next few months. In June 2014 coming home from a soccer game I my wife our son and another player had this happen again while traveling 70mph on the us23 expressway, stabilitrac / traction control service light came on transmission started shifting hard and then the transmission lost the ability to engage, the car began to slow almost getting hit. (thank god we made it to a safe place) we replaced the transmission because of broken wave plates within the transmission. On 3/7/15 took car in again for stabiltrac / traction control same thing again is happening dealer found nothing wrong told us to bring back when lights are on. 3/14/15 lights came on again took in dealer was unable to find anything wrong. Service adviser there was no danger driving the car but that I might after time begin to loss power and may not be able to travel over 20mph. I explained the history to him his advice was to avoid the expressways. My fear is to die in this car when merging into expressway traffic. After reviewing many compliants about the transmission and traction control / stabilitrac on the internet about the following cars Saturn Outlook, GMC acadia, chevy traverse and Buick enclave I hope that gm can come up with a fix before anyone has to die!.

6 Service Brakes problem of the 2008 Saturn Outlook

Failure Date: 10/01/2013

While driving my car, I noticed the stabiltrak error message on the dash and a message to get my brakes serviced. I thought it would go away, but keep coming up. Took the car into the dealership and have to have the stabiltrak replaced. I have looked online and noticed that this is an issue with a lot of people. Seems like it should be looked into by gm. Can cause major problems with the car like turning over!.

7 Service Brakes problem of the 2007 Saturn Outlook

Failure Date: 08/14/2013

When driving through a puddle, there was a loss of power steering and brakes. I had the interior liners replaced but the problem still occurs. The electrical problems have increased dramatically since the original date of the problem and at this point, I think this vehicle is extremely dangerous to drive. The driver information center is out, there are two windows that no longer open, the stabilitrak light comes on intermittently (this is new last week), there is another warning sound coming on when I make a sharp turn but I am not sure what this is for since the driver information center is out. Once I could not get the door to shut completely and I had to start the car, lock and unlock the doors and then the door would shut. The audio/navigation screen loses power and restarts every couple days during my drive. Note: I have also had the power steering replaced in March and replaced the replacement transmission about the same time.

8 Service Brakes problem of the 2007 Saturn Outlook

Failure Date: 09/24/2010

I have experienced only issues all year with my 2007 Saturn Outlook. It has 55,000 miles and in June 2010 the wiring short circuited behind the steering wheel causing the theft security lock system to go into effect assuming the car was being hot-wired. It cost me over $300 to fix at the dealer and had to be towed. Then the dealer said my inside fuse box was completely corroded from water and they would need to fix the leak my sunroof was causing. The dealer has made 6 attempts to fix and I just picked up my car this morning, hopefully after the final attempt. Now my breaks are causing issues, the break pedal softens and goes down to almost the floor when pressed every 4th or 5th time and it is drinking brake fluid, I need to take it this weekend to check for a leak. Not to mention my power steering is making loud whining sounds every time that I move the steering wheel. Oh, and my passenger side low beam headlight has gone out a few times and my husband has had to access the back of it to replace it but it continues to go out. Oh, and my transmission caused problems two weeks ago and the dealer fixed it under my powertrain warranty. . 55,000 miles and this car is giving me issues as if I'm over 200,000 miles!.

9 Service Brakes problem of the 2007 Saturn Outlook

Failure Date: 03/03/2010

2 complaints about the Saturn Outlook: 1) braking & brake fluid problems. Dealer has replaced brake fluid saying that the factory brake fluid was not correct. Braking is still difficult and brake pedal needs to be pressed more than once for proper braking pressure to kick-in. 2) since new, the Outlook has a popping or cracking sound whenever the steering wheel is turned from right or left, at least 2-3 times in each direction from center. Brought matter to the dealers attention and said other reports had been made, but no solution.

10 Service Brakes problem of the 2007 Saturn Outlook

Failure Date: 12/12/2009

Excessive brake fluid usage. No leaks found and still continues to use brake fluid at the rate of 2oz. Per 500 miles.
