We purchased this 2007 outlook back in april of this year. The dealership gave us a sheet that purported to indicate that the vehicle had gone through a full inspection and was clean. We live in north florida and have had a lot of rain lately. Every time it rains, water gets into the doors and into the vehicle itself - we can hear it sloshing around in the doors and in the dash of the vehicle - and there will be water, as much as half an inch, on the floorboards of the vehicle. This is wreaking havoc with the electrical system, and sometimes there will be the smell of something burning. The fans, particularly in the back of the vehicle, are running intermittently; there is a crackling noise that comes through the radio speakers even when the radio system is turned off, and there is so much moisture in the vehicle that the windows fog, making it impossible to see, and the fog is difficult to clear even with the defrost system because it's not being caused by cool temperatures but rather by the moisture in the vehicle. Yesterday, I drove it to walmart and then home after work with no problems, parked it in our driveway, and didn't leave the house the rest of the day; this morning, we went outside, and when my husband put the key in the ignition to start the car, it wouldn't start at all, and then he couldn't get his key out of the ignition; we had to lock the doors manually and leave it there with the keys in it. Back in june, one of our local news stations reported on a recall of 194,000 gm suvs for similar issues with water leaking into the doors and that gm would be contacting owners of affected models to bring their vehicles in for repairs, but we have not received any kind of notification from gm, and ours is obviously one of the vehicles affected.
2007 Saturn Outlook visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Constant sunroof leak into passenger side of vehicle, multiple repairs. The rain runs down into vehicle leaving massive puddle of water on the passenger side floor. It appears to run down on far right side under the glove box area into the vehicle. I constantly have towels on the passenger side floor to protect the carpet, however the carpet is now permanently damaged and smells moldy. The state in which I live rains all winter long, so this is a major issue. I'm very concerned about the electrical box and electrical system failing! Gm dealerships have been completely unhelpful and want to charge anywhere from $300 to $500 to replace the tubing every year.
Leaks in sunroof, water coming out of airbag area. Master cylinder for brakes went out.
Sunroof started leaking and leaked into the fuse boxes and cause the fuse box and wires to corrode which caused the car to not shut off could drive down the road shut the car off and take the key out and it would still run.
My saturn outlook began to fail electrically last week. . . Resulting in a diagnosis of clogged sunroof drains. I have read to great extent how this is a specific defect of these saturn (now gm) vehicles and yet the dealership will not claim any responsibility?! I am blown away by the almost $2000 price tag to fix what is in effect their fault.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 saturn outlook. The contact stated that the windshield wipers failed and the linkages between the motors and wipers were inoperable. The contact called the manufacturer who stated that the vehicle was not included in recall 08v410000 (visibility: windshield wiper/washer: linkages). The manufacturer stated that he would get a discount on repair expenses. The current and failure mileages were approximately 60,000.
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.
Complete failure of front windshield wiper assembly during rainstorms. Failures have occurred three times and been repaired by dealer. Two of the failures occurred during heavy rainstorms on the highway.
Sunroof leaks. The leaks lead to reserves of water above the headliner that can be heard when turns are made. Significant amounts of water run through air bags on a columns and dashboard. Given that the battery has died on me six times, I am concerned about long term electrical damage and proper air bag deployment. Dealer has attempted to repair five times.
