“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. …”

“On saturday july 5, 2014, while traveling n/b on I-81 in virginia my 2007 Saturn Outlook xr suddenly began to lose power to the engine. At the time, I was in the left lane and going approximately 70 MPH. At no time did any check engine light or other service indicator come on. Fortunately I was able to steer the vehicle over to the right shoulder before it completely stopped. After about 30 minutes on the shoulder the vehicle lost all electrical power. I had my wife and 3 kids (8yr, 6yr and 3 month old) in the car when this happened. It took an hour for the tow truck to get to us. …”

“The fuel tank in our new (two day old) 2007 Saturn Outlook ended up with a hole in it, leaving a pool of fuel in my mother's driveway. We were being very careful, since it was a new vehicle and do not remember hitting anything that could have potentially caused the fuel tank to bust. After further investigation, pictures backed this up by showing no damage to the undercarriage of the car, less the busted fuel tank. I am concerned because the plastic fuel tank has no shield on the tank. …”

“Problems with passenger airbag - sometimes it would say off when a passenger is seated and sometimes it would say on and then turn off after some time. Had to have work done on the fuel pump, then the drive shaft went to the point where it car had to be towed. I was told that this never happens. …”

NHTSA complaint #10237990, filed 2008-08, 30,000 miles

“When the gas tank is at 1/4 or less and the car is parked on an incline either forward or backwards the gas gauge reads empty for at least 10 minutes after the car is started. Since the gauge reads empty the car stalls once it is started or it doesn't start. When it stalls after the car is in drive I loose my power brakes and I am unable to apply my brakes easily and my children and I are put in a bad safety situation. I am unable to stop if something or someone runs in front of the car when it stalls. This is a 2007 Saturn Outlook. …”
