EVERY TIME IT RAINS MY CAR GET A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER INSIDE CAUSING A MUSTY SMELL AND POSSIBLE MOLD. I HAVE TO VACUUM WATER FROM THE BATTERY AREA, IN THE TRUNK LIFT IT UP AND VACUUM OUT AND LEAVE IT TO DRY OUT IN SUN WHEN AVAILABLE. IT CAUSES MY SEAT BELTS TO BECOME WET. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FLOOR IS WET AS WELL AS THE BACK SEAT AREA FLOOR. IT CAUSE THE WINDOWS TO CONTINUALLY FOG UP AND THE DEFROSTER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS THERE IS A HESITANT SOMETIMES AND I WAS TOLD BY A GM SERVICE TECH THAT IS THE BATTERY LOSING POWER CAUSING THAT ISSUE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD MORE THAN ONCE FROM THE GM SERVICE TECHS THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE AND THAT CORPORATE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT HEALTH AS WELL. MY FAMILY RIDES AROUND IN THIS CAR.
MY OUTLOOK WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT. THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT DIDN'T. THERE WAS LOTS OF SMOKE, SMELL AND POWDER AS IF THEY HAD GONE OFF BUT NEVER DID. THIS WAS AFTER THE SUPPOSED AIRBAG RECALL HAD BEEN FIXED. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE 3 SHORT MONTHS I HAVE OWNED IT!! *TR

10/12/13 WE HAD SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN & THE NEXT MORNING I NOTICED THE FLOOR BOARDS WERE WET. AGAIN, THE EVENING OF 10/15 WE HAD SEVERE RAIN STORMS WITH FLOODING IN OUR CITY.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A BODY SHOP ON 10/16 & HAVE A STATEMENT THAT IT WOULD BE A COSTLY REPAIR, MOLD WAS PRESENT & HE STATED IT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT I DRIVE IT DUE TO POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. ON 10/23 I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP FROM THE BODY SHOP & NOTICED THE MOLD ON THE HEADLINER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE & DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (COVERT BUICK) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE & TOLD THEM I WOULD BE BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO THEM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. 10/24 I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE & IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP & SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER TOM. HE SENT A TOW TRUCK OUT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. PRIOR TO THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVING I CLEANED OUT ALL MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS & UPON DOING SO I FOUND THAT THE THIRD ROW CUP HOLDER HAD STANDING WATER IN IT & MOLD WAS GROWING IN IT ALSO. UPON ARRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOM STATED HE "GOT ME A LOANER VEHICLE APPROVED BY [XXX], THEY USUALLY DON'T DO THIS" & TOLD ME I WOULD "LIKELY NOT HEAR FROM THEM UNTIL WED, 10/30 AS THEY WERE VERY BUSY". I DID NOT HEAR FROM TOM UNTIL FRI, 11/1 AT 3PM. I RETURNED HIS CALL AT 5PM & HE EXPLAINED THAT THEY ASSESSED MY VEHICLE & IT WOULD COST ME $1900 FOR REPAIRS. "THERE WERE LEAKS FOUND & WATER DAMAGE CAUSED A SHORT IN THE BATTERY." I THEN EXPLAINED THAT I DID NOT FEEL THIS WAS SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET FIXED AS I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THEM. ASKED HIM TO ESCALATE TO HIS MANAGER & GET BACK TO ME.

ON APRIL 11, 2008 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 P.M. I STOPPED AT COSTCO (WEST HOMESTEAD, PA) FOR FUEL. MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT ON AND MY SON WAS IN THE 2ND ROW PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT ON. THE ENGINE OF MY 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK AWD - XR WAS OFF. MY SON WAS WATCHING A DVD ON THE OUTLOOK'S CEILING MOUNTED PLAYER. HE DECIDED TO CHANGE THE DVD AND DEPRESSED THE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE SEATBELT (LOCATED TO HIS LEFT). THE BUCKLE RELEASED AND HIT HIM IN THE LEFT SIDE OF HIS HEAD AT WHICH TIME MY SON PULLED DOWN ON THE SECTION OF THE SEATBELT COMING FROM THE B POST CEILING TO REATTACH THE BELT BUCKLE AT WHICH TIME THE SEATBELT MADE A LOOP ROUND HIS HEAD AND TIGHTENED AROUND HIS THROAT. HE IMMEDIATELY SAID TO MY WIFE, " MOM, I THINK I HAVE A PROBLEM HERE." SHE REACHED BACK AND PLACED HER HAND BETWEEN THE SEAT BELT AND THE FRONT OF HIS THROAT. THERE WAS ONLY ROOM FOR HER TO GET HER INDEX, MIDDLE AND RING FINGER IN. MY WIFE YELLED " YOUR SON IS STUCK, WE CAN'T GO YET." I WALKED AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE OUTLOOK TO SEE MY WIFE HOLDING THE SEALTBELT FROM GETTING TIGHTER AROUND MY SON'S NECK. I TRIED TO PULL DOWN ON THE SEAT BELT FROM THE B POST LOCATION, BUT THE MECHANISM WOULD NOT RELEASE THE BELT FORWARD, ONLY BACKWARDS INTO THE HOUSING (WHICH WOULD STRANGLE MY SON). THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT SLACK IN THE BELT TO PERMIT ME TO SIDE IT OVER MY SON'S HEAD. I ASKED MY WIFE TO CALL ONSTAR. SHE GOT A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE LINE WHO ASKED IF WE WANTED HER TO CALL EMERGENCY RESPONDERS. I TOLD HER THAT I WAS A FIREFIGHTER CERTIFIED IN BASIC VEHICLE RESCUE AND ASKED HER TO GET A TECHNICAL SATURN EXPERT ON THE LINE WHO COULD INSTRUCT ME HOW TO RELEASE THE SEAT BELT. ONSTAR COULD NOT PROVIDE AND EXPERT. AT THAT POINT MY SON STARTED TO PANIC. I HAD COSTCO ATTENDANT, FRED FUNAIOCK CUT THE SEAT BELT AT THE FLOOR LEVEL WITH SCISSORS TO RELEASE THE BELT FROM AROUND MY SON'S THROAT. ONSTAR INCIDENT #1111608558. PICTURES TAKEN. *TR

2DP12003 · Loss Of Headlamp Illumination
Opened Jun 4, 2012 · Closed Jul 24, 2014
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Exterior Lighting:headlights
As of July 16, 2014, out of a population of 248,453 subject vehicles, NHTSA received 473 consumer complaints of inoperative head lamp. Many of these complaints indicated that the head lamp harness suffered damage from overheating. After reviewing the complaints, ODI found: -69% (328) alleged that a single head lamp was inoperative. -18% (86) alleged that both head lamps were inoperative but not at the same time. -9% (41) alleged that both head lamps were inoperative but the complaints did not indicate whether the failures had occurred at the same time. -4% (17) alleged that both head lamps were inoperative at the same time. -One additional complaint cited wire harness damage to both sides but did not specify an outage -No crashes or loss of vehicle control were reported. -Any alleged thermal damages were limited to melting of the head lamp harness and the head lamp housing. -A head lamp would intermittently fail to come on or flickers before becoming completely inoperative. For the seventeen complaints that alleged simultaneous failure of both head lamps while attempting to turn them on or while driving, the head lamp failures likely had occurred one at a time. The subject vehicle's head lamps are connected in a parallel circuit and each circuit is fused. Therefore, failure of one head lamp or its harness should not affect the other head lamp operation. Over the last 25 years, ODI has opened numerous defect investigations of the loss of headlamp illumination.Investigations that resulted in safety recalls involved simultaneous loss of illumination from both headlamps. NHTSA does not consider the loss of a single headlamp as presenting an unreasonable safety risk-such failures are readily detectable by the driver while allowing the vehicle to retain forward visibility and conspicuity from the remaining headlamp.There is typically enough time between the failure of the first headlamp and the second during which the vehicle operator can obtain the needed repairs. Based on the information currently available, NHTSA does not believe that the headlamp condition as alleged by the petitioner indicates the likelihood of a safety-related defect that would warrant a formal investigation.Therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.Further specifics can be found in the Federal Register Notice ODI complaint ID numbers are referenced on the next page.
