SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE 1 REAR BRAKE GOING OUT. THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS LIKE A SIEVE. I HAVE A LEAK SOMEWHERE NEAR MY RADIATOR. AND I'M TOLD THE CHIP IN MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT ON ME. I HAVE MY DASH BOARD SCREECHING BLOODY MURDER AT ME AND MY EARS SWELL AND I LOOK LIKE I HAVE THE MUMPS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LOT I'M BUYING FROM AND THEY SHRUG AND SAY OH WELL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I RARELY IF EVER GO ON THE FREEWAY. I PARK OFF THE STREET. I USE THE ALARM SYSTEM RELIGIOUSLY. AND IT'S OVER HEATING WHERE THE BATTERY IS.

STEERING
POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY FAILS WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN IT FAILS IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, REQUIRING SIGNIFICANT FORCE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THIS BECOMES VERY DANGEROUS AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. REPAIRS SHOPS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE SINCE IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. ISSUE BEGAN TO OCCUR WITH LESS THAN 100K MIKES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SUFFERS FROM INTERMITTENT OPERATION EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULB WITH A NEW BULB. WHEN IT DOES WORK, THE HEADLIGHT ONLY ILLUMINATES ON THE AUTO SETTING. IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL IF I TRY TO MANUALLY TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS. I CANNOT FIND A RECORD OF A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE BASED ON A VIN NUMBER SEARCH, BUT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR LIGHTING ISSUES ON OTHER OUTLOOK MODELS. AS OF 10/29/2017, THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 60 DAYS

AIR BAGS
I PURCHASED A 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK NEW AT MILES. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR HAD DIFFICULTIES RIGHT OFF THE BAT.SOMETHING WITH WHERE MY KIDS WERE SITTING IN THE SEAT (TEENS). THE SENSOR WOULD GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER SOME TIME, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SENSOR FOR ABOUT $1,200. I WAS UNABLE TO DO THAT (ALSO THINKING THAT IT WOULD FAIL AGAIN). SO, WE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH WHAT APPEARS IS NO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE AND NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS. I THINK THAT THIS WARRANTS A RECALL.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE KEPT GETTING A SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING, TOOK IT TO A SATURN CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE PASSENGER SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS BAD AND COULD PREVENT THE AIRBAG FROM INFLATING IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT. WONDERING WHY SINCE HE SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. ALSO, THE AUXILIARY AMPLIFIER WENT BAD... HE THINKS THIS IS FROM A LEAK, AND THE WAY THE WIRING HARNESS WAS DONE APPARENTLY WATER GETS INTO IT AND SHORTS THE AMP. ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM HE SAID... UNFORTUNATELY, ALL WARNING/SAFETY CHIMES DO NOT SOUND BECAUSE OF THIS AND ALL THE SPEAKERS DON'T WORK EXCEPT FOR THE FRONT TWEETERS.
