2008 Saturn Outlook driver assistance problems

Filed Jul 12, 2020 · Driver assistance, Electrical · 160,000 miles · MO

When it rains water is leaking into the vehicle & throughout the 2 years I've owned it the rain has leaked in multiple locations despite having it fixed & causes the wiring, lighting & detrimental/safety sensors & electrical parts to be damaged. I became especially worried when I learned a friend with a 2008 gmc acadia (identical vehicle to saturn outlook) is having the exact same water issues. Within a month or 2 of having the leaking and damaged fixed new sensors get wet & issues arise due to leaking in new/different locations. I first noticed it leaking in the front by the windows & sunroof & causing the radio speakers to quit. Within a short while after fixing it the headlights, tail lights & air conditioning then started cutting out & not working. Once again I had the issue fixed but now it is leaking in the dash where water can be heard sloshing around when turning & occasionally leaks into the front floor board. Now the 'stabilitrak' & traction control are all having issues as well as transmission sensors making my car undrivable and unable to shift from second gear until the car sits in the sun or dries out for a few days. The speakers are also not working making the back up cam, and even the warning dash lights have no sound. ** as mentioned before there are many online forums that talk about this leaking issue in both the saturn outlook & gmc acadia's. It is very worrisome that things will seem to work & suddenly stop working due to water log damage & when driving at night & headlights/tail lights flicker or quit it is very scary & dangerous. The serious issues with sensors (transmission sensors & stability) just began on my car recently & since I've had this issue fixed so many times it needs to be investigated further before someone gets hurt.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 saturn outlook. While driving 50 MPH, the anti-lock brake, electronic stability control, and traction control warning indicators illuminated. In addition, the rear of the vehicle swayed back and forth as if it would hydroplane. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer several times where it was diagnosed that the anti-lock brakes were faulty, but the failures persisted. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage and VIN were not available.
