Saturn Outlook grinding brakes problems

Filed Jan 3, 2020 · Acceleration · 130,344 miles · OH

There is a recall for the linkage system, where the vehicle still rolls while in park. I am having this issue and a grinding sort of sound. The VIN is saying 0 unrepaired recalls on the website and I believe this issue is an ongoing problem of the previous recall in '09. While the vehicle was driving there was the sound that something was dragging, the vehicle was pulled to the side of the road to check but while in park the vehicle would still roll. The car had the emergency brake set in place at this moment.

I was driving my new 2007 saturn outlook, and going to pick-up my children, on a highway, it wouldn't go into 2nd gear. Also, it was making a clunking/grinding noise. Luckily no one was behind me because I couldn't drive the speed limit as required by law. I feel as if it put my life as well as my children's life in danger. This isn't all, my RPM meter was going all over the place. Then my check engine light came on, and of course I had to take it to see what codes it pulls up. My certified mechanic reviewed and tested the transmission control module which is bad. Yes, this could've been worse but gm has put more than myself in danger but also anyone who's driving these vehicles and they either won't go or just shut off.

I bought this car in nov 2015 and by jan 2016 had lost my power steering twice. Each time the dealer had to replace a hose. It was fine for about a month before starting to become very loud again. At this point I went back and forth with him and he finally replaced the pump and I paid a deductible. It has been 3 weeks and I lost my power steering again. The steering wheel is very squeaky while turning at slow speeds. There is clearly an issue going on that is causing these hoses to keep blowing, I am also reading similar issues by people all over the web. I have two children who I drive around all day long and I have been very lucky we haven't been in an accident due to this yet. Once it was on a very busy high speed road. While I do not know why this keeps happening, this is an issue that clearly needs gm's attention, and it should be fixed by gm. The first time I was parked and as soon as I put my car into reverse it popped, the second I was driving at almost 60mph, the third I was on a back road going around 30mph.

Driving when the car jerked and reved and then went squealing away. Going 40 MPH and cars behind were not following closely. This happened for about 50 feet and then the car would not move - reverse and d and l would not work. We were in a city for an audition for college admission which was 400 miles from home. We had to have the vehicle towed to a nearby independent mechanic. The transmission is gone. Needed to rent a car to return home and will now have to fly back to pick up the vehicle again after paying $4400. We were lucky that nothing had happened when we were on the interstate or driving around the city and campus. Also, forunate that we made it to the audition. This is a family car usually carrying kids and animals. Besides the repair bills, the vehicle is junk because no one would want to buy this. The $4400 to bring the vehicle home and wait for the next thing to happen like the power steering issue. This car was a large purchase and very sad to know that you have to keep investmenting money in it or junk it. This needs to become widespread and definitely a recall before something tragic happens.

Recently having problems with the drivers side low beam headlight. When I took it in to the dealer to be looked at I was informed that the wiring harness had melted. To replace it will cost an upward of $400. Also having problems with the vehicles steering constantly squealing, not sure what is going on. And when going around turns the stability control makes a loud abrupt noise almost stopping the vehicle. I just can't believe all the problems I've been having with this vehicle in such the short amount of time I've owned it. I am a pregnant mother with 2 children already and I do not trust the safety of this vehicle!!
