2007 Saturn Outlook

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured January 3, 2007, to February 29, 2012, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured July 6, 2008, to March 9, 2012, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured September 15, 2006, to February 29, 2012, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles manufactured August 17, 2006, to March 18, 2010. The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall.

Risk. If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The recall began on November 15, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and Saturn customer service at 1-800-553-6000.

Passenger headlight dim. Grand Street Batteey and Electric replaced bulb and states voltage to connector is good.the vehicle is available for inspection. Headlight is not bright enough to utilize at night as it should be for owner or traffic. No warning lamps light up on instrument panel.

The contact stated that after opening the liftgate with the power liftgate button, the liftgate unexpectedly lowered, and struck her on the head. The contact stated that the failure had occurred twice. The contact had head pain, but medical assistance was not required. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failures to NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 07V062000 (Air Bags) and 15V415000 (Structure); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 163,000.

When it's cold I get frost inside my vehicle I replaced my windshield because I thought air was getting inside to cause the frost but after getting it replaced same issue water is leaking in and causing moisture and causing my vehicle not wanting to start because it's doing something to the battery

I HAVE A WIRE THAT BURNED-OUT AND IT CONTROLS MY WINDOWS, SUNROOF,MY AC CONTROLS, AND THEN ALSO MY TRANSMISSION IS SHUTERING

While driving, the car will automatically shift into 1st gear. Steering will then be disabled to the point of crash. Transmission/computer issue. Major issue with Saturn Outlooks.

I just purchased this vehicle & on my way home with it the check engine light came on. I hooked up the diagnostic code scanner on the car and it threw several different codes PO700, PO752, PO420. There are specific transmission issues with this particular year, make, and model. My car has the exact same symptoms as the others that were recalled so why has mine not been recalled as well? It's malfunctioning just as the others described in the recall so clearly this is a common issue with these particular vehicles. I feel my car should be covered as part of the safety recall on the transmission and I need it repaired as soon as possible.

WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE CAUSE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONING. WATER IS COLLECTING INTO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSED BY WATER INCLUDE RADIO, LIGHTS; DASHBOARD( SHUTS OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN COMES BACK ON) AND INTERIOR, DOOR LOCKS, STABILITY TRACK MALFUNCTION AT WHICH POINT THE CAR WILL SHAKE AND SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE BEING DRIVEN ABOVE 40 MPH.

THE VEHICLES AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING APPROPRIATELY WITH FLUCTUATING CHANGES OF SPEEDS, THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY. AFTER PARKING I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT DELIVERED TO THE CLOSEST DEALER WHERE THEY HAD PUT IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 90,223 MILES BACK IN 2013. NOW, LESS THAN 50,000 MILES LATER THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE VEHICLE NEEDS ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AT THE COST OF $5,500. IF A VEHICLE ONLY GETS 50,000 MILES OUT OF A TRANSMISSION SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT! I HAVE MY RECEIPTS FROM THE FIRST TRANSMISSION THAT CLEARLY INDICATE THE MILEAGE.

AFTER I TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS THEY WILL BE FINE FOR A BIT AND THEN ONE WILL GO OUT AND SOMETIMES THE OTHER WILL FOLLOW SUIT. IT CAN BE EITHER IF THEM. SOMETIMES I CAN TURN THE LIGHTS ON AND THEN OFF AND IT WILL COME BACK ON. *TR

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK, OWNERS MANUAL SAYS IT IS THE EXTERIOR HVAC SENSOR. AFTER PLENTY OF RESEARCH HAVE DISCOVERED IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. MANY COMPLAINTS ARE OF PEOPLE REPLACING THIS SENSOR NUMERPUS TIMES ONLY TO HAVE THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION SHORTLY AFTER. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE SENSOR BE REPOSITIONED ELSEWHERE ON THE VEHICLE. WITH 100+ TEMPS AND NO WAY TO COOL THIS VEHICLE IT IS A DANGER TO ITS OCCUPANTS, ESPECIALLY BEING AN 8 SEATER MOST LIKELY TO HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK WHERE THE HEAT GETS UNBEARABLE. NOW THAT SUMMER IS HITTING WE CAN HARDLY DRIVE TOO FAR BECAUSE MY 1 YEAR OLD SON TURMS BRIGHT RED FROM THE HEAT.

HI! I RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP CALLED EPB AUTO. THE CAR I PURCHASED WAS DESCRIBES AS HAVING NO RECALLS NOR OTHER PROBLEMS BESIDES THE ABS LIGHT (WHICH I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER WOULD GO OFF WITH NEW TIRES) ON AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER SPECIFIED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WAS JUST THE GAS CAP. WHICH HE CLAIMED THAT THE MECHANIC READ WITH HIS COMPUTER. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS, ALSO CLAIMED HE'D REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. WHICH HE DID NOT. I TRIED TO CALL TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. HE CLAIMED THE MOBILE MECHANIC WON'T BE ABLE TO COME OUT UNTIL MONDAY. MY WHOLE VITALITY RELIES ON THAT VEHICLE AND I CANNOT FIND A MECHANIC THAT WILL FIX THE RECALLS. PLEASE HELP! RECALLS INCLUDE THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING TENSIONER, WINDSHIELD, LIFTGATE, AIR BAG SENSORS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES.

AIR BAG SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT FAILS INTERMITTENTLY AND LIGHT SUP THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD, AND DISABLES THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG, EVEN WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS OCCUPYING THE SEAT. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHENEVER THE CAR IS POWERED ON.

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN LIT UP FOR AWHILE NOW. THEY SAY I NEED A NEW SENSOR. IS THIS NOT THE SAME ISSUE FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL? WHY DOES THIS NOT SHOW UP UNDER THAT RECALL?

MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAS BURNT OUT AND HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN 1 MONTH. IT'S CURRENTLY 12/15/19 AND IT'S BURNT OUT AS WE SPEAK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. JACK PHELAN CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 4000 S HARLEM ACE, LYONS, IL 60534, 708-954-8003) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ABS MODULE MAY NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

WHEN I TURN ON HEADLIGHT ONLY ONE SIDE WORK WHEN I TURN ON HIGH BEAMS THEY COME ON IT'S A WIRING ISSUE

THE REAR LIFT GATE OR STRUT SUPPORT FOR THE HATCH OF MY 2007 SATURN, OUTLOOK GRADUALLY FELL ON MY SON AND I WHILE PUTTING THE GROCERIES IN THE CAR AT WALMART MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS AGO; NOW THE HATCH NO LONGER HOLDS ITS WEIGHT AND DROPS WHEN YOU TRY TO LIFT IT, BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY HEAVY, SO AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NOT USED THE HATCH FOR MANY MONTHS NOW, BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE CALLED A FEW DEALERS THAT DEAL WITH SATURN, GMC EVEN BUICK AND THEY ALL SAY THAT THEY DO NOT WORK ON VEHICLES OVER 10 YEARS. (?) ONE OF THE MECHANICS SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LIFT GATE LIKE 3 YEARS AGO.? I AM TO THE POINT THAT I MIGHT AS WELL FIND A LOCAL MECHANIC TO FIX THE LIFT GATE OR STRUT FOR THE HATCH. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF 2019 AND IT WON'T TURN OFF OR RESET?

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT RANDOMLY CAME ON

TAKATA RECALL. I CAN NOT GET GM DEALERSHIP TO CORRECT MY ENGINE LIGHT TOTURN OFF AND GIVE A CORRECT DIAGNOSTIC. THEY HAVE WORKED ON MY SUV SERVAL TIMES, THEY SELL SELL ME PARTS AND WORK THAN LESS THAN A MONTH ENG LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THEY TRY TO SELL ME ANOTHER CAR. WILL NOT CORRECT. WILL NOT DO DIAGNOSTIC ( GM CARS CENTER REQUEST). RT 24 SHUT DOWN, TOW TO HOME

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I DROVE INTO SOME WATER ON THE ROAD AND LOST STEERING. THE WHEEL BECAME VERY VERY HARD TO STEER. THEN IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. TONIGHT, DRIVING HOME IN THE RAIN AND WENT THREW A PUDDLE OF WATER ON THE ROAD. LOST STEERING ABILITY AND HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT MAKE MY TURN FOR THE STEERING WAS SOME HARD. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CHARGING LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL WHEN I WENT THREW THIS PUDDLE OF WATER. THE SHOULD BE A RECALL A.S.A.P. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN
