The problem starts with heavy rain leaking through the sun roof. According to the ed morse dealership representative, the sunroof is projected to pass some water (very few) that will drain through the drain tubes located at the front and rear columns (sides of the windshield). However, the tubes may get clogged an the water starts leaking inside the car through the columns were airbag are located. Nevertheless, these tubes are not long enough to drive the water until the bottom of the car so the water will leak into the inner fuse block, will damp the carpets on the passenger and driver sides and make much more damage than you can believe. As the insulator between the carpet and the floor is like a sponge, it will absorb the water and soaks all the connectors that run below the insulator (cables that run from the battery, to the seats motors and heater, etc, etc). Not to mention that it may damage the airbag triggers mechanisms located on the columns besides the windshield?.based on the number of complains about this issue at the internet, why nobody has done anything yet? What if the front sides airbag does not deploy as expected due to this rain inside the car????? The federal safety agency should seriously inquire gm for that as it may put many lives at risk. And not only to saturn outlook owners. The same is happening to gmc acadias and buick enclaves....there are many forums with such complain at the internet and in one of them a representative from gm ask us to contact her but I sent her 2 e-mails and so far I have no answer. Her e-mail is [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Sunroof leak: I cannot believe that gm has failed to issue a proper recall for the ongoing problem with leaky sunroofs! I can hear water "swooshing around" the sunroof after it rains. It has completely drenched my wife (while in the passenger seat) and it leaks through the airbags. I literally have puddles (on the driver 's side) floor in my vehicle after it rains! The water leaking out while driving is a safety issue and possible mold spores developing is a health issue! Please recall!
