TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF LEAKED EACH TIME IT RAINED. THE WATER TRAVELED ACROSS THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE, ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, AND INTO THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STUTEVILLE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF PONCA CITY (3330 N 14TH ST, PONCA CITY, OK 74601, (580) 749-5976) WHERE THE BODY CONTROL WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW BATTERY DUE TO THE WATER THAT WAS LEAKING ONTO THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE PPM CHIP FOR THE AIR BAG WAS MISSING, WHICH CAUSED THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD WHEN IN PARK OR DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,564.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM. EVEN IF A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SHOWS OFF. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE NEEDS REPLACED AND WOULD COST ABOUT $800.00 TO REPAIR IT AND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH.

WATER LEAK FROM SUNROOF

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2017 IT WAS ALWAYS PARKED IN THE GARAGE SO THE PROBLEM WASN'T NOTICED UNTIL I STOPPED USING THE GARAGE. WHEN IT RAINS A LOT WATER IS LEAKING THROUGH THE FRONT SUNROOF WHICH IS THEN DRAINING UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF THE CAR IN THE ELECTRICAL AREA AND FINALLY LEAKING THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS. IT CAUSED ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE OUTLOOK BECAUSE OF THE INITIAL SUNROOF 'CLOG'. ALSO THE CAR COULD BE DRIVEN BUT WHEN YOU TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN. I'VE SEEN MANY ISSUES OF THE SAME PROBLEM THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING AS WELL WITH THEIR OUTLOOKS. IF THE NUMBERS ARE THERE FROM PEOPLE COMPLAINING I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN INVESTIGATED AND TURNED INTO A RECALL. WHAT STARTS AS A SUNROOF LEAK CAN EASILY AND QUICKLY LEAD TO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF REPAIRS BECAUSE THE WATER IS LEAKING UNDER THE HOOD AREA.

POWER STEERING RANDOMLY GOES OUT AND RETURNS CAUSING JERKY LURCHING TURNS COUPLE YEARS NOW SINCE REACHING OVER 100K MILEAGE, HAVE 173K MILES CURRENTLY. IS NOW LEAKING FLUID. PCV VALVE REPLACED TWICE, NOT RECALLED BUT MECHANICS HAVE SAID IT'S COMMON FOR MY VEHICLE, CAUSES HESITATION WHILE IDLING LIKE IT'S TRYING TO STALL OUT. HAVE HAD TO PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND REV GAS AT STOPLIGHTS. AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR YEARS, PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T DETECT. ALTHOUGH RECALL, DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE DIAGNOSTIC FEES EVEN WHEN I HAD DONE FOR FREE AT LOCAL PARTS STORE AND GAVE THEM CODE, THEY SAY HAVE TO DO THEIR OWN. PASSENGER WINDOW DOES NOT ROLL DOWN, BUT DOES ROLL UP, WITH DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROLS, DOES WORK WITH PASSENGER SIDE CONTROLS. SOMETIMES DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW STICKS TOO EITHER UP/DOWN HAVE TO BANG ON DOOR FOR IT TO ENGAGE. SPEAKERS HAVEN'T WORKED PROPERLY IN YEARS EITHER.

I PURCHASED A 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK NEW AT MILES. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR HAD DIFFICULTIES RIGHT OFF THE BAT.SOMETHING WITH WHERE MY KIDS WERE SITTING IN THE SEAT (TEENS). THE SENSOR WOULD GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER SOME TIME, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SENSOR FOR ABOUT $1,200. I WAS UNABLE TO DO THAT (ALSO THINKING THAT IT WOULD FAIL AGAIN). SO, WE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH WHAT APPEARS IS NO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE AND NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS. I THINK THAT THIS WARRANTS A RECALL.

WE KEPT GETTING A SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING, TOOK IT TO A SATURN CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE PASSENGER SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS BAD AND COULD PREVENT THE AIRBAG FROM INFLATING IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT. WONDERING WHY SINCE HE SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. ALSO, THE AUXILIARY AMPLIFIER WENT BAD... HE THINKS THIS IS FROM A LEAK, AND THE WAY THE WIRING HARNESS WAS DONE APPARENTLY WATER GETS INTO IT AND SHORTS THE AMP. ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM HE SAID... UNFORTUNATELY, ALL WARNING/SAFETY CHIMES DO NOT SOUND BECAUSE OF THIS AND ALL THE SPEAKERS DON'T WORK EXCEPT FOR THE FRONT TWEETERS.
