We bought the car jan 8 of 2010 and was still under full warranty- after the first month I brought into saturn and told them of all issues. They said they got it all fixed in june of 2010 brought it in again for basically same issues and they said they fixed everything again and were also closing down that day so were hurrying me out the door. After that had same issues (especially steering wheel and engine problems,oil leaks, along with electrical problems) and we were directed to go chevy since saturn was gone. Expressed to them same issues with steering wheel etc. They also fixed a recall on the electrical system. And fixed power steering pump that was broke two months later had same issues with steering and engine and airbag sensor and brought it again and they also fixed another recall, in the headlamp. (we have all documents) now the whole transmission is out and oil leaks again so since it still under power train they are fixing them but gm will not approve them to fix the steering column that needs to be replace nor the airbag sensor issue. We have called them everyday and sent them over all our paperwork the last two years showing that the steering column and airbag sensor have been an issue since before our full warranty was up. I just want my car to be safe and feel like I am in a death trap and still owe a lot of money on it. It is a total lemon and I am stuck with it these issues were from the start when the car was still under full warranty.
2007 Saturn Outlook airbags complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 88 of 88, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Front air bag ip lamp is intermittent and will often show off event though there is a 190 lb. Passenger in the passenger seat. Recycling the key, having passenger enter/exit vehicle results in random state. I.e. Sometimes the light is on and will go off at random times and other times is will simply remain off even with someone in the seat. Dealer finds nothing wrong since there is no dtc set but the vehicle is unsafe as you never know if the front air bag will really deploy in an accident.
2 weeks after purchasing this vehicle, my passenger side airbags would flash red on and off everytime a passenger was getting in and out of the seat. This is a continue concern for me and the safety of my family. I worry that if the airbag is flashing and not working and we get into an accident that someone would get extremely hurt or even killed. There is currently a recall on this issue, but when I called the saturn hotline to file a complaint, they stated that "my vehicle/VIN # was not on the recall list". This is ridiculous as this is a safety issue and obviously it should be taken care of free of charge at my local gm dealership since it has a recall.
The passenger airbag sensor fails to recognize that there is a passenger on the seat and the sensor continues to display off, even when the seat belt sensor states that there is a passenger and that the seat belt must be latched. After latching the seatbelts, the airbag sensor still shows off. The dealer was charging $126 dollars to check the problem today 9/27/11.
I own a 2007 saturn outlook. The front passenger airbag does not work properly. Not always engaging when a passenger over 100 lbs is sitting in the seat. Sometimes the airbag light switches back and forth from on to off and then usually stays off. After turning the vehicle off and restarting, or having the passenger jump up and down on the seat, it may engage the airbag, but not always. This also concerns me the seatbelt tension is triggered based on the airbag bag light being on or off. When the airbag light is off, and the passenger unbuckles the seatbelt, the seatbelt warning light is not engaged! We have had this problem since we purchased the vehicle new. The saturn dealer could not locate the problem and said to bring it back when it happens again. Each time they tell us it is working, although we have taken multiple photos to show it does not work properly. It appears there was a recall for the front airbags, however nothing was received for my vehicle (VIN). This is a major safely issue and needs to be corrected before an accident happens.
My 2007 saturn outlook passenger presence system is not recognizing an adult sitting in the front passenger seat. By the vehicle not recognizing the adult the passengers airbag is not armed in the event of a front end crash. I took the vehicle to a gm dealership who is replacing the pps for $1000. Huge safety concern and expensive repair. The pps was recalled in 2008 by VIN but mine was not included. This should be re-addressed.
My 2007 outlook xr leaks water inside of it and is messing up the electrical stuff in it. It has started telling me to have the airbag serviced, so now I am worried that it will either randomly go off or not go off when it is supposed to. It has told me that my car was over heated when I have just started it. It has continued to keep running when I have turned the key off and removed it from the ignition switch. I have read several other complaints on the internet from other owners. Edmunds website has several complaints on there that you can read. I have contacted general motor over this matter because the water leaking in is from factory defects. Other owners have taken their outlooks in to the general motors service centers numerous times and their outlooks continue to leak. I had the top of my outlook covered with plastic and water still leaked in when it rained. I vacuumed 6 gallons of water out of it and could not get all of the water out, which is going to lead to it molding and mildewing. Something needs to be done to pull these unsafe vehicles off the road.

2007 saturn outlook airbag saftey light failure in passenger.
2007 saturn outlook, consumer received notification of rejection. * bf the sunroof leaked, the rear wiper was broken and the front passenger air bag did not activate. The driver's seat belt was improperly aligned from a previous repair and the front wipers failed. Last month, the power steering function was severely compromised while driving through a heavy rainstorm. The power steering was providing inconsistent feedback which appeared to be caused by a slipping belt to the power steering pump.
I was driving my 2007 gm saturn outlook. The airbags all deployed at the same time. Gm has had my car for investigation for over a month and refuses to pay for a rental. I have neck injury and have been undergoing physical therapy. I had an mri done on friday. They keep giving me the runaround and I have been out thousands and thousands and my car just sits while they do nothing but ask me to send proof of out of pocket expenses etc. I sent receipt for rental and she sent an email requesting the method of payment that I used. Why is that relevant??
I own a 2007 saturn outlook xe. The front passenger airbag does not appear to engage when my wife who weighs 120 pounds sits in the seat. There is a light in the dash that toggles on or off based on if someone is in the passenger seat. Many times when I'm driving and my wife is in front passenger seat, the light will be "passenger airbag off" mode. If I shut down the vehicle, it sometimes corrects itself appears "passenger airbag on". This problem is sporadic. I've had the dealer check it several times, but they say it is working correctly. However, as recently as may 30th, the problem occurred again, the day after the dealership inspected the issue.
This is a safety issue not an incident passenger airbag is off when 100 lb. Daughter in front seat. This happens 95% of the time. Also, is intermittently on and off with 127 lbs. Daughter. The car was checked by saturn in cathedral city(which has closed) and gm on varner rd in indio. Neither found any thing wrong. I called customer service. They told me to go to saturn in riverside( an hour away) they found that the sensor was put in incorrectly. However when I got home the problem still occurred. I brought it back to riverside. The technician said he rode with a girl probably 125 lbs and when they went around a corner she slid and the light went off. I said someone would slide in an accident or you could take a turn and hit something and the airbag would be off. I asked him to put that she slid on the invoice but he refused and said she wasn't seating probably. He kept telling me children are safer in the back seat. Isn't everyone? Legally she has every right to be there. She's 12,5'4" and 100. Lbs. My husband has a pontiac and the airbag is on every time she's there. Recently I was driving on the freeway with my older daughter and the indicator went off. Customer service says they can't do anything because riverside says there's no problem. My children seat correctly but the indicator still goes off or never comes on. This is a safety issue that saturn refuses to correct. This has been going on for months and I am approaching 30,000 miles when my warranty will be up. Remember it took 3 visits before one shop found the sensor put in incorrectly. I'd appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you
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. Currently, the car now kicks back when the car is first moved for that day and the dash board will flash, either, speed limited to 108pmh (when pulling out of driveway), park assist is off (when it is on),or traction control is off (when it has never been touched) - the car will also shut off without me doing so. I have taken it to a saturn dealership and they say that they can find anything wrong with the car. I am currently five months pregnant and I do not feel safe in the car. When the car kicks back it hurts.
After a continuous problem with several items on our 2007 saturn outlook it was taken to dealership. While in for repairs we told them the passenger airbag did not work consistently. We even later sent video showing it off when a 130 lb passenger was in the seat... And the car was going 50mph down the road. They still say it is working properly. The airbag is on one minute, then off... Dealer says there are no error codes, however it should be on with 130lb person in the seat each and every time.. Not just when it notices they are there.
