TONIGHT, DRIVING HOME IN THE RAIN AND WENT THREW A PUDDLE OF WATER ON THE ROAD. LOST STEERING ABILITY AND HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT MAKE MY TURN FOR THE STEERING WAS SOME HARD. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CHARGING LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL WHEN I WENT THREW THIS PUDDLE OF WATER. THE SHOULD BE A RECALL A.S.A.P. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN

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.

WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE CAUSE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONING. WATER IS COLLECTING INTO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSED BY WATER INCLUDE RADIO, LIGHTS; DASHBOARD( SHUTS OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN COMES BACK ON) AND INTERIOR, DOOR LOCKS, STABILITY TRACK MALFUNCTION AT WHICH POINT THE CAR WILL SHAKE AND SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE BEING DRIVEN ABOVE 40 MPH.

RECEIVING MESSAGE ON DASH DISPLAY: ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. NOTICE A SEVER DROP IN ENGINE POWER AND WILL PRACTICALLY NOT MOVE IF PUT IN GEAR. TYPICALLY NOTICED WHEN STARTING VEHICLE AND PULLING AWAY. CAN TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND ISSUE IS NOT EXPERIENCED. (UNTIL THE NEXT TIME) THERE IS NO TYPICAL COMBINATION OF EVENTS THAT HAPPEN BEFORE ISSUE OCCURS, RANDOM. HAVE CHECKED FORUMS ONLINE AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS AND OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES FROM GM (OUTLOOK, ACADIA, ENCLAVE, TRAVERSE)

WHEN STARTING THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BUZZER GOES OFF, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS FLICKERS OFF AND ON. THIS CAUSES A ROUGH IDLE LIKE A MISFIRE .I HAVE HAD PLUGS AND COIL PACKS REPLACED AS WELL AS SHOCKS AND STRUTS. ERROR STILL REMAINS. MECHANIC SAYS ONE ISSUE TRIGGERS THE OTHER. HAVE SEEN 100'S OF OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON FULL SIZE GM TRUCKS AND OTHER SUVS. HOPEFULLY SOON A RECALL ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR FLASHED. ALSO, THE AIR CONDITIONING BLEW OUT SMOKE AND THE TRANSMISSION JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE A HALF MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAL ON THE SUN ROOF FRACTURED AND CAUSED WATER TO DRAIN INTO THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE BATTERY, FUSE BOX, AND CARPET WERE DAMAGED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SIERRA MOTORS (18475 5TH AVENUE, JAMESTOWN, CA 95327) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRAIN PLUG WAS CLOGGED. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OBSERVATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE AN ISSUE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAGS FAULTY SENSOR AND I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME TO PAY 1K TO REPLACE THE SEAT SENSOR... 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.

WE WERE DRIVING WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN OUR TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY. WHEN WE WERE AT A STOP SIGN, I WENT TO PULL OUT AND RELIZED THAT WE HAD LOST THE FIRST 2 GEARS AND WERE ALMOST HIT BY AN ON COMING VEHICLE WHEN THE CAR FAILED TO MOVE AT THE RIGHT SPEED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH BEFORE SOME IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO FIFTH GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWLY DRIVEN BACK TO HER RESIDENCE. LATER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AND THE THIRD GEAR STOPPED WORKING. SHE STATED THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO INDEPENDENTLY SHIFT FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES WHERE THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLUTCH PLATE AND OTHER DAMAGED PARTS. THE TRANSMISSION SEALS AND SENSOR WERE ALSO REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK. THE DEALER ALSO CLEANED METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE MANUFACTURER EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,475 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,972.

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?

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. *TR

DLR LIGHTS WENT OUT, POOR GAS MILLAGE, TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ARE NOT LIKE A REGULAR TRANSMISSION THE GEARS ARE STAYING TO LONG BEFORE SHIFTING.

DRIVING IN SUB ZERO WEATHER, I DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER AND NOW I FIND OUT, IT IS SOMETHING CALLED "LIMP" MODE. CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 35 MILES PER HOUR AND I HAD MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS COMING ONE. HOW DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR SEE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND SUDDENLY REALIZE YOU HAVE NO POWER. TRYING TO GET INTO THE OUTER LANE AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE. I WAS -20 DEGREES OUT THAT DAY. I FOUND THIS LISTED ON A WEB SITE, SOUND LIKE GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM ALREADY. I WORK WITH A GIRL THAT HAS A ACADIA. SHE SAW MY FACEBOOK POST ABOUT MY CAR. SHE WAS ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY THE SAME DAY I WAS AND HERE CAR WAS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING MY WAS. TWO CARS WITH LOSS OF POWER AT THE SAME TIME AND DAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS. HERE IS THE LINK I FOUND REGARDING THIS PROBLEM:HTTP://RICKSFREEAUTOREPAIRADVICE.COM/OIL-IN-AIR-INTAKE-DUCT/ GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO ADDRESS A PROBLEM WITH OIL IN AIR INTAKE DUCT, ALONG WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, POOR ACCELERATION, AND THROTTLE BODY FREEZING. THE BULLETIN APPLIES TO THE FOLLOWING VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.6L ENGINE: 2008-11 BUICK ENCLAVE, 2007-11 CHEVROLET MALIBU, 2009-11 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE,2007-11 GMC ACADIA,2007-10 PONTIAC G6, 2007-09 SATURN AURA, 2007-10 SATURN OUTLOOK GM STATES THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER A COLD START UP OR WHEN DRIVING IN COLD TEMPERATURES. IF YOU SCAN THE PCM, ICE FORMATION IS CAUSED BY CONDENSATION FREEZING AT THE BASE OF THE THROTTLE BODY WITH ADDITIONAL COLLECTION OF ICE FORMATION DEPOSITS IN THE AIR INLET DUCT. FREEZING CONDENSATION FORMS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN AND THEN PARKED IN LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. OIL DEPOSITS ARE THE COLLECTION OF THE ENGINE VAPORS, FUEL DILUTION AND OIL MIST AT THE BASE OF THE THROTTLE BODY WITH ADDITIONAL FORMATION COLLECTING IN THE DUCT. *TR

FOR A COUPLE WEEKS I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS OPENING MY TRUNK HATCH, I TRIED AGAIN TODAY AND IT DIDN'T OPEN. I THEN BENT DOWN TO PICK UP MY BAGS WHEN THE HATCH OPENED ON ITS OWN AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD PRETTY HARD. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN MY TRUNK WHEN I HAVE GROCERIES IN IT. I DIDN'T GO TO THE DOCTOR OR THE ER BECAUSE I WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND CAN RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS OF A CONCUSSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE OSCILLATED BACK AND FORTH.
