I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK. ALL OF THE SUDDEN ONE DAY I WENT TO LEAVE MY DRIVEWAY, PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. IT ALSO BARLEY GOES FORWARD. I HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH SLOWER THAN NORMAL ACCELERATION AND ROUGH GEAR CHANGE. AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SIMILAR KIND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IT SEEMS THERE IS A $25 PART CALLED A WAVE PLATE THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN THESE CARS WHICH CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO CEASE RESULTING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF REPAIRS. AFTER FINDING THIS OUT I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS BOUNCED AROUND QUITE A BIT. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND DISCUSSED HELPING FINANCIALLY TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY ASKED US TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A GM DEALERSHIP SO WE DID JUST THAT. AFTER DOING THAT THEY RENIGGED THEIR OFFER TO HELP US SO THE CAR JUST SAT THERE FOR QUITE A WHILE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2011 WITH 98,000 AND OWNED IT 2 YEARS THEN HAD THIS PROBLEM, NOW AT 126,000. AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND HAD THIS HAPPEN I HAVE FOUND OUT THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I LOVE THE CAR BUT IT IS A COMPLETE HEADACHE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE KIDS AND DO NOT HAVE $3500 TO SHELL OUT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND BELIEVE THAT IT IS SUCH A HUGE ISSUE THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE AND THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED. MEANWHILE I MAKE A CAR PAYMENT EVERY MONTH FOR A BROKEN DOWN CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR ALMOST A YEAR BECAUSE I CAN'T AND ALSO FEEL LIKE I SHOULD SHELL OUT THAT KIND OF $ WHEN GM IS CLEARLY AT FAULT. I ALSO AM AFRAID IF I DO FIX IT THE SAME PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. THEY ARE A TERRIBLE COMPANY WHO DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND LEAVES SO MANY AMERICANS OUT IN THE COLD. WHAT HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

SUNROOF DEFECT - HAVE OWNED VEHICLE SINCE OCT. 2010. NOV. 2013 WAS OUR FIRST SUNROOF LEAK, THINKING IT WAS A WINDSHIELD ISSUE. HAD THAT CHECKED OUT (AND, OF COURSE, CHARGED FOR A SEALING BY ABRA AUTO BODY), BUT A FEW WEEKS LATER, DEALERSHIP RAN THRU GARAGE CAR WASH AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF LEAKING THRU SUNROOF, PASSENGER FRONT SIDE! THERE WAS DEFINITELY SOME WHOOSHING-WATER LIKE SOUNDS BEFORE THE FIRST FEW TIMES THE LEAK HAPPENED. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO HAVE CLEANED "DEBRIS" OUT OF THE TUBING MECHANISM. FIVE MONTHS LATER, THE LEAK IS BACK. NOT HAVING USED THE SUNROOF FOR MOST OF THAT TIME DUE TO WINTER, OF COURSE. FIRST REPAIR WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID NOT REPAIR, BUT RATHER FIXED, WAS TO CLEAN OUT GUTTER/TUBING. NOW, MAY 2014 THE SAME ISSUE AND AGAIN, THEY CLEANED OUT TUBING AND PUT SOME SILICONE ON THE RUBBER GASKET AREA. WE REFUSED TO PAY FOR LABOR THIS TIME ($90) FOR THE SAME DEFECTIVE PROBLEM WHEN THE SUNROOF HADN'T BEEN USED. THE MANAGER RELUCTANTLY AGREED. IN ADDITION, THE MANAGER QUIZZED US WHETHER THE VEHICLE SAT INSIDE (99% INSIDE GARAGE) OR OUTSIDE. THIS SHOULD NOT MATTER. ALSO, SUGGESTED TOO NOT TO RUN IT THRU POWER CAR WASHES. WE DON'T MIND NOW HAVING TO CHECK TO KEEP "DEBRIS" OUT OF THE SUNROOF TRACK, BUT HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY OF OUR OTHER OLDER AND NEWER VEHICLES WITH SUNROOFS. WE HAVE ALREADY SUNK A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE UNFORTUNATELY AND DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO YET AGAIN PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE DESIGN BY GM WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHICH IT WILL. I HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED AN EMAIL TO SATURN (CAC@SATURN.COM), GM (SOCIALMEDIA@GM.COM) AND WWW.SATURNFORUMOUTLOOK.NET. THE LATER IS HELPFUL IN THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE WITH YOUR VEHICLE COMPLAINTS AND BATTLES. IN FACT, MANY AT THIS SITE HAVE BEEN CHARGED WELL OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TUBING. SHAME ON GM! *TR

DP12003 · 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.
