“My Saturn Outlook began to fail electrically last week. . . Resulting in a diagnosis of clogged sunroof drains. I have read to great extent how this is a specific defect of these Saturn (now GM) vehicles and yet the dealership will not claim any responsibility?! I am blown away by the almost $2000 price tag to fix what is in effect their fault.”
NHTSA complaint #10433901, filed 2011-11, 75,000 miles“Sunroof leaks. The leaks lead to reserves of water above the headliner that can be heard when turns are made. Significant amounts of water run through air bags on a columns and dashboard. Given that the battery has died on me six times, I am concerned about long term electrical damage and proper air bag deployment. Dealer has attempted to repair five times.”
NHTSA complaint #10278267, filed 2009-07, 10,000 miles“We purchased this Saturn Outlook in may of 2013, it was used but very well taken care of. Soon after we purchased the vehicle, the headlights periodically go out. It is not the bulb because the bulb comes back on, but in the electrical wiring, we have owned this car for almost 2 years and countless times the headlights will completely go off while we are driving! This is frightening and so very dangerous. I know of other Outlook owners that have the same exact problem! …”
NHTSA complaint #10700676, filed 2015-03, 110,000 miles“I have been noticing that my driver side and passenger side floors are getting soaked with water. This has been happening for about a month. The main problem was that my it was just above freezing and I had ice built up on the inside of my windshield and had to wait to get it to defrost and then dry the windshield before I could drive the vehicle. At first I thought the sunroof was left cracked so I took the floormats out and during the day, left the sunroof and windows open to dry out the car. This did not work or solve the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10653756, filed 2014-11, 122,500 miles“Constant sunroof leak into passenger side of vehicle, multiple repairs. The rain runs down into vehicle leaving massive puddle of water on the passenger side floor. It appears to run down on far right side under the glove box area into the vehicle. I constantly have towels on the passenger side floor to protect the carpet, however the carpet is now permanently damaged and smells moldy. The state in which I live rains all winter long, so this is a major issue. I'm very concerned about the electrical box and electrical system failing! …”
