HI! I RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP CALLED EPB AUTO. THE CAR I PURCHASED WAS DESCRIBES AS HAVING NO RECALLS NOR OTHER PROBLEMS BESIDES THE ABS LIGHT (WHICH I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER WOULD GO OFF WITH NEW TIRES) ON AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER SPECIFIED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WAS JUST THE GAS CAP. WHICH HE CLAIMED THAT THE MECHANIC READ WITH HIS COMPUTER. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS, ALSO CLAIMED HE'D REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. WHICH HE DID NOT. I TRIED TO CALL TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. HE CLAIMED THE MOBILE MECHANIC WON'T BE ABLE TO COME OUT UNTIL MONDAY. MY WHOLE VITALITY RELIES ON THAT VEHICLE AND I CANNOT FIND A MECHANIC THAT WILL FIX THE RECALLS. PLEASE HELP! RECALLS INCLUDE THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING TENSIONER, WINDSHIELD, LIFTGATE, AIR BAG SENSORS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES.

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?

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT DOES NOT WORK. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST, I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT STILL HAD TO PAY THE $250 DEDUCTIBLE FOR IT TO BE FIXED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT MUST HAVE GOTTEN WET. I CAN TELL YOU AT THAT TIME 100% IT DID NOT GET WET. AND EVEN IF THE SEAT HAD GOTTEN WET (WHICH SOMETIMES THINGS GET SPILLED) IT SHOULD NOT HAVE AFFECTED THE SENSOR I.E IT SHOULD BE INCASED SOMEHOW TO PROTECT IT FROM MOISTURE. I NOW HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN AND THE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SOME TIME. I DO NOT HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE SENSOR WHICH IS HOW MUCH THE DEALER CHARGES FOR THIS REPAIR, THE VEHICLE BEING 12 YEARS OLD ISN'T EVEN WORTH A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN WHAT IT WOULD COST TO HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE AND THERE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. GM SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THESE SENSORS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITHOUT CHARGING ITS CUSTOMERS A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW FOR THE RECORD.

I BOUGHT IT USED AND ITS HAS BEEN SAYING SERVICE AIR BAGS ON THE DASH AND THE LIGHT THAT SAYS ITHE AIR BAG IS ON AND OFF MOSTLY IS IN THE OFF POSITION WHICH IS LOCATED ABOVE THE AIR CONDITIONER PANEL. ALSO O. THE DASH ITS POPS UP THE RED PICTURE OF A PERSON SITTING IN THE FRONT SEATS WITH AN AIR BAG IN FRONT OF THEM FACING THE AIR BAG. THE LIGHT IS STARTING TO GET STUCK ON MEANING MY AIR BAG MAY NOT BE WORKING AT ALL. I AM DRIVING WHEN IT COMES ON AND NOW IT IS ON WHEN I START THE VEHICLE MEANING ITS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY OR AT ALL. I THINK IT COULD BE INVOLVED WITH THIS RECALL ABOUT THE AIRBAG MODULE.

1) STEERING WENT OUT DURING A HEAVY RAIN GOING DOWN THE ROAD. LOST STEERING. VERY SCARY. HAPPENED WITH FOUR KIDS IN THE CAR GOING OVER A BRIDGE! TOOK IT TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM WHILE LOOKING AT BELT. IT HAS HAPPENED A HANDFUL OF TIMES IN VERY HEAVY RAINING WHICH I TRY TO AVOID SINCE THAT HAPPENED. 2) AIRBAG LIGHT ON. JUST WONDER IF IT IS DUE TO THE WATER THAT POURS IN THROUGH THE KNOWN DEFECTIVE SUNROOF TUBES? DURING RAINS, WATER TRICKLING THROUGH AIRBAG COMPARTMENTS AS WELL AS WATER THROUGHOUT VEHICLE. HOW COME THESE SUNROOF TUBES ARE NOT RECALLED????

THE FACTORY INSTALLED SUNROOF LEAKS RAINWATER INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. IT HAS AFFECTED AIRBAGS, SENSORS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND POWER SYSTEMS. IF THE CAR GETS WET, THE WATER TRAVELS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO CIRCUIT BOARDS AND DISCHARGES THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WILL DIE IN TRAFFIC IF WATER TRAVELS TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD DURING DRIVING. AIRBAGS HAVE EVIDENCE OF WATER TRAVELING THROUGH THEIR ASSEMBLY. FLOOR AND SEATS ARE WET AFTER RAIN, SPRINKLER, CAR WASH, MORNING DEW. DOESN'T SEEMS TO BE DEPENDENT ON AMOUNT OF WATER RECEIVED. BATTERY TESTS FINE ON FULL CHARGE. ALTERNATOR FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. PROBLEM IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO SUNROOF LEAKAGE. SUNROOF SEAL IS NOT YET UNDER RECALL. YESTERDAY, AFTER A DAY OF RAIN, THE CAR HAD TO BE CHARGED TO DRIVE TO WORK. DROVE 20 MILES WITH NO APPARENT POWER ISSUES, BUT AIRBAG SENSORS SENT ALERT THROUGH THE DASH THAT AIRBAGS NEEDED SERVICING. AFTER WORK 7 HOURS LATER, CAR DROVE INTO OKC RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, WATER IN THE ROOF SLOSHED (YOU CAN HEAR IT) AND THE CAR DIED. IN TRAFFIC. COMPLETELY DISCHARGED THE BATTERY. NO LIGHTS. NO HAZARDS. NO DOOR LOCKS. NO BRAKES, STEERING, ABILITY TO MOVE THE CAR IN OR OUT OF GEAR, OR EVEN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. CAR HAD TO BE JUMPED IN ORDER TO PUT GEAR INTO NEUTRAL TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC AND REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. CHARGED ALL NIGHT ON TRICKLE CHARGER AND WAS RUNNING FINE TODAY. EXCEPT, IT'S RAINING NOW.

JUST PURCHASED MYSELF A USED SATURN OUTLOOK. HAPPENED TO STORM THE NIGHT I PURCHASED IT. MY CAR HAS A SUNROOF AND MOONROOF. THEY ARE BOTH LEAKING INTO MY CAR. THERE ARE CURRENTLY FIVE AIRBAG SENSORS THAT ARE NO LONGER WORKING AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE DAMAGE IS BEING CAUSED BY THE LEAKING WATER RUNNING ALONG THE SIDE PANELS AND DOWN UNDER THE SEATS AND INTO THE BATTERY AREA BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT. I'M SCARED THAT THIS IS WILL LEAD TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE EITHER AT THE BATTERY AREA (ITS ALREADY CORRODED THE CONNECTORS ON AT LEAST ONE BATTERY), MY FUSES, OR WORSE. SINCE MY DAUGHTER AND I BOTH HAVE ASTHMA, MOLD GROWTH IS A SERIOUS CONCERN. AND WORSE YET, FAILURE OF AIRBAGS CAUSING DEATH/SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF AND/OR MY CHILDREN AND PASSENGERS. TO SEE THAT GM KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM AND IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO RECTIFY IT IS ABSURD. I'M GLAD THAT THEIR BOTTOM DOLLAR IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN US LIVING THROUGH AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL LIKE I'M STUCK PAYING FOR SOMETHING I CAN'T AFFORD WHICH ISN'T REMOTELY MY FAULT (ITS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW) BECAUSE SURVIVING AN ACCIDENT, NOT DYING FROM AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, AND BREATHING WHEN MOLD GROWS IS ACTUALLY A PRETTY IMPORTANT THING. I'M LEGITIMATELY SCARED THAT THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL SOMEONE.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK IN LATE JULY 2016. IN EARLY AUGUST 2016 THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT STARTED TURNING ON AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WOULD TURN OFF WHEN I HAD SOMEONE IN THE FRONT SEAT, BUT LATELY IT TURNS OFF RANDOMLY AND SAYS "SERVICE AIR BAG" EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. FAMILIES (LIKE MINE) OWN THESE VEHICLES. THIS SENSOR ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY WHO MADE AND SOLD THE FAULTY SENSORS IN THE PASSENGER SEATS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY GM $1,000 FOR A NEW PASSENGER SEAT.

I BELIEVE JUST LIKE MANY PEOPLE SAID IT SUPPOSED TO BE A RECALL FOR THAT ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S RELATED TO AN SAFETY ISSUE PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUS SITUATION AND WE ALL HOPE TO GET A RECALL FOR OUR CARS BEFORE WE GET INJURED THANK YOU BEST REGARDS.

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 SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED ON DASH AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF EVEN IF SOMEBODY IS SEATING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT . I HAVE TRIED CALLING DEALERS, SATURN-GM BUT HAVE GOTTEN NO HELP WITH THE RESOLUTION OF THIS DEFECT. THEY SAY THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE SENSOR BUT ACCORDING TO A LOT OF FORUMS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY DEFECT NOT JUST A RECALL. THIS TECHNICALLY COULD HURT OR KILL SOMEONE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE I WILL TAKE THIS AS HIGH AS I CAN TAKE IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AT LEAST 18 MONTHS.
