The vehicle was taken to the marty's gmc dealer for water intrusion a total of four times, but the failure was never resolved. During the last failure, the battery that was located under the rear seat was buried under four inches of water. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the failure was not a safety concern. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
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! Please do a recall and help us, before someone gets hurt in a horrible accident from their headlights going out while they are driving!

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. I took my car to a car wash today (11/9/14) and when I was leaving the lot, I was on a slight downward slope to stop before entering the street. I noticed that water was coming through the driver side a pillar where the airbag logo is at. On the passenger side, water was running down the inside of the windshield on the dash, getting the passenger wet. Very frustrated that there is no recall for the sunroof leak as general motors knows of the problem but will not fix the problem as it is due to the sunroof drains/drainage tubes.
The car caught on fire.
The car just caught on fire. The fire started under the hood and in the dash. The front of the car burned up completely. The car is a total loss.
Water is coming in from the sunroof drains. Water is pooling in the headliner. Upon braking water poured out the front of the headliner by the passenger windshield and also dripped on the lower left side of the drivers side gauge compartment. I am concerned of stagnant water causing mold and mildew - I am highly allergic and it causes bronchial issues. I am concerned of the water shorting out the electronic components. I purchased this vehicle from my father who drove it sporadically and garaged it. I do not have a garage and drive it daily rain or shine. I am concerned for our safety. A car is not supposed to leak.
Sunroof is leaking, I just purchased the vehicle used...
