STEERING
WHILE DRIVING IN A MODERATE RAIN STORM TODAY, 6.1.12, AT 35 MPH, THE STEERING ON MY VEHICLE LOCKED UP AND FROZE AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, BUT I DO NOT RECALL THE EXACT DATES SO I WILL REPORT TODAY'S DATE ONLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD EVENTUALLY FREE AND RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS. ALSO, THERE IS A LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM THE STEERING BLOCK AND UNDER THE HOOD WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE NOISES SOUNDS LIKE THE POWER STEERING BELTS ARE SLIPPING DUE TO BEING SOAKED WITH WATER. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE, WE HAVE TWO KIDS. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN THE STATE OF FL WITH HEAVY, AND FREQUENT STORMS. THIS IS VERY TROUBLESOME AND SCARY AND I AM CONCERNED THIS LOSS OF STEERING WILL LEAD TO A CRASH. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
ISSUE BEGAN AS A JERKY MOVEMENT IN REVERSE. A FEW DAYS LATER, HIGH ENGINE RPMS WERE NOTICED DURING ACCELERATION WHICH EVENTUALLY LED TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING LIT AND THE TRANSMISSION BEING DISENGAGED. NO GEARS WERE OPERATING AND CAR WAS ABLE TO BE PULLED OFF THE MAIN ROADS WITH NO INCIDENTS. MANY ONLINE FORUMS DESCRIBE A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE GMC ACADIA, CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, AND BUICK ENCLAVE AS WELL AND ACROSS SEVERAL MODEL YEARS FOR EACH VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STRUCTURE:BODY
1) CAR NO LONGER SHIFTS OUT OF FIRST GEAR (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). 2) CAR CONTINUES TO RUN FOR UP TO 30 SECONDS WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED. DEALER STATES THAT A WATER LEAK BEGINNING AT THE SUNROOF LEAKS WATER ONTO THE FUSE AREA IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUSING FAILURES REQUIRING A FUSE BOX REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD LEAKS LEAVING WATER ON THE HEADLINER, FRONT SEATS, FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER FLOORS IN THE PAST ALL REPAIRED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER CHARGES SO FAR ARE $500 TO REPAIR THE LEAK, $500 TO REPLACE THE FUSEBOX, AND STILL NOT SURE ANY OF THOSE REPAIRS HAVE RESOLVED THE TWO INITIAL ISSUES. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
I NOTICED MY OUTLOOK LEAKING WATER 3 MOS. AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE AIRBAGS ON PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF IN THE GARAGE. THE DEALER STATES ITS A LEAK THAT HAS ALLOWED WATER TO RUIN THE ELECTRONICS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET. NO ONE CAN FIX IT.THEY HAVE 7 TECH BULLETINS...STILL NO FIX. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 1500.00 TO "START" LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME! I CAN'T DRIVE A MOLDY CAR WITH INTERMITTENT AIRBAGS AND POSSIBLE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR! THIS WILL BANKRUPT ME. WHAT DO I DO?? NO ONE ONLINE HAS FOUND A SOLUTION...JUST 1000'S OF DOLLARS AND SCARY SITUATIONS ON THE ROAD (DEFROST BLOWERS BREAKING, LOSING POWER STEERING, ENGINE QUITTING, WATER DUMPING ON THEIR LAPS). PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS OR HELP US FIX IT! *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON THE HIGHWAY, WE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE UNUSUAL GEAR SHIFTING. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH GEAR TO BE IN. WE MADE IT HOME, AND THEN A FEW HOURS LATER I STARTED THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING THE SOUND OF A FAN BEING SPUN WAY TOO FAST. WE STARTED TO DRIVE AND THE GEAR SHIFTING WAS AGAIN ERRATIC. AFTER STOPPING TO CHECK IT THEN GETTING BACK ON THE ROAD WE NO LONGER HAD THE FIRST 3 GEARS. I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDDLE ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSES [OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS HORRIBLE]. THEY SAID IF IT'S FOUND TO BE MANUFACTURER THEY "MAY" BE ABLE TO HELP US, BUT THAT OUR POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED THE MONTH BEFORE SO THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY GUARANTEES. I FOLLOWED MY GUT AND DECIDED TO REMAIN A PERSON AND NOT A NUMBER BY TAKING IT TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP WITH A GREAT REPUTATION. THEY CALLED THIS MORNING AND SAID I'LL BE NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE GM REP CALLED AND SAID THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT (HE LOOKED INTO IT FOR ME). THIS IS ONLY 3 MONTHS AFTER THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED. BEFORE THAT IT WAS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR THAT WENT OUT. *TR

STRUCTURE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

I HAVE REPLACED MY DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I HAVE READ ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THE WIRING HARNESS ON THESE VEHICLES, WHERE SOME HAVE MELTED. MINE DOES NOT APPEAR MELTED, OR AT LEAST WASN'T THE THIRD TIME I REPLACED IT, BUT NOW THIS MORNING THE HEADLAMP BURNED OUT AGAIN. WITHOUT CONFIDENCE IN MY HEADLAMPS, I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. *JS

STEERING
I HAD JUST TURNED A CORNER AND IT FELT LIKE MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT ACCELERATED AS NORMAL. BUT THEN I REALIZED MY STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN. WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT ME I BARELY MADE IT TO ANOTHER STREET AND COULD JUST TURN IT ENOUGH TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. I WAS PUTTIN MY WHOLE BODY WEIGHT INTO IT. IT WAS NOT RAINING AND CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL OUTSIDE. $300 LATER MY STEERING SYSTEM WAS FIXED. THANK GOODNESS TRAFFIC WASN'T HEAVIER THAT DAY. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE BOUGHT THE CAR JAN 8 OF 2010 AND WAS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY- AFTER THE FIRST MONTH I BROUGHT INTO SATURN AND TOLD THEM OF ALL ISSUES. THEY SAID THEY GOT IT ALL FIXED IN JUNE OF 2010 BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN FOR BASICALLY SAME ISSUES AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED EVERYTHING AGAIN AND WERE ALSO CLOSING DOWN THAT DAY SO WERE HURRYING ME OUT THE DOOR. AFTER THAT HAD SAME ISSUES (ESPECIALLY STEERING WHEEL AND ENGINE PROBLEMS,OIL LEAKS, ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS) AND WE WERE DIRECTED TO GO CHEVY SINCE SATURN WAS GONE. EXPRESSED TO THEM SAME ISSUES WITH STEERING WHEEL ETC. THEY ALSO FIXED A RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. AND FIXED POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WAS BROKE TWO MONTHS LATER HAD SAME ISSUES WITH STEERING AND ENGINE AND AIRBAG SENSOR AND BROUGHT IT AGAIN AND THEY ALSO FIXED ANOTHER RECALL, IN THE HEADLAMP. (WE HAVE ALL DOCUMENTS) NOW THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IS OUT AND OIL LEAKS AGAIN SO SINCE IT STILL UNDER POWER TRAIN THEY ARE FIXING THEM BUT GM WILL NOT APPROVE THEM TO FIX THE STEERING COLUMN THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACE NOR THE AIRBAG SENSOR ISSUE. WE HAVE CALLED THEM EVERYDAY AND SENT THEM OVER ALL OUR PAPERWORK THE LAST TWO YEARS SHOWING THAT THE STEERING COLUMN AND AIRBAG SENSOR HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE BEFORE OUR FULL WARRANTY WAS UP. I JUST WANT MY CAR TO BE SAFE AND FEEL LIKE I AM IN A DEATH TRAP AND STILL OWE A LOT OF MONEY ON IT. IT IS A TOTAL LEMON AND I AM STUCK WITH IT THESE ISSUES WERE FROM THE START WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY. *KB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL THESE VEHICLES WITH WATER LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLES SOMEWHERE AS OF TODAY 1/20/2012 THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE AND CAN NOT FIND WHERE THE WATER IS COMING IN. THE WATER IS LEAKING OUT THRU THE AIRBAG AREAS, THE SEATBELT AREAS AND THE HEADLINERS ONTO THE DASH. I AM WORRIED ABOUT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. GM/SATURN HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE (EDMUNDS.COM) SHOWS A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS BUT THERE YET HAS BEEN ANY RECALL MADE TO ATTEMPT TO FIGURE OUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOT ONLY THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID I COULD BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND NOT GM/SATURN EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS HAPPENING. THIS LEAK COULD IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY CAUSED SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DETECTED YET AND I WILL BE STUCK BECAUSE GM WILL NOT RECALL THIS ITEM. THEY DID HAVE ARECALL FOR THIS IN 08 BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE HOLDING UP AND I WAS ACTUALLY TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP THAT "I WAS SCREWED". HELP US PLEASE. *TT

FRONT AIR BAG IP LAMP IS INTERMITTENT AND WILL OFTEN SHOW OFF EVENT THOUGH THERE IS A 190 LB. PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. RECYCLING THE KEY, HAVING PASSENGER ENTER/EXIT VEHICLE RESULTS IN RANDOM STATE. I.E. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS ON AND WILL GO OFF AT RANDOM TIMES AND OTHER TIMES IS WILL SIMPLY REMAIN OFF EVEN WITH SOMEONE IN THE SEAT. DEALER FINDS NOTHING WRONG SINCE THERE IS NO DTC SET BUT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AS YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE FRONT AIR BAG WILL REALLY DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL WORK FOR AWHILE BUT THEN IT WILL APPEAR TO BE "BURNT OUT". THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT SEVERAL TIMES. THE LIGHTS WILL START WORKING AGAIN (AT LEAST TEMPORARILY) WHEN I SWITCH FROM THE "AUTO" LIGHT SETTING TO "MANUAL" AND BACK AGAIN. I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT WEBSITES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CAUSE BEING THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE LIGHTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE PARTS/MATERIALS USED AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY WHAT THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING TO REPAIR IT, SO FOR NOW I CAN'T DO ANY NIGHT TIME DRIVING WITHOUT GETTING A TRAFFIC CITATION/TICKET. *TR

MY KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION, MY HUSBAND HAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET IT OUT, I HAVE TOLD GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN I GO ONLINE I SEE HUNDREDS OF POSTS ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M SURE THAT THEY DO KNOW ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN A SAFE POSITION (PARK) WHEN THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I THINK THAT GM NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE AND THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND BEFORE I PUT A NEW BULB IN, IT CAME BACK ON FOR A WEEK. MY HEADLIGHT THEN WENT OUT AND STAYED OUT. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB, I SAW THE BLACK WIRE INSULATION ON THE HARNESS WAS MELTED AND ALSO THE PLASTIC OF THE BULB CONTACT WAS MELTED. I HAVE WORKED WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR 30 YEARS AND BELIEVE THE WIRE SIZE IS TOO SMALL FOR THE CURRENT THAT THE HEADLIGHT DRAWS. *TR

AIR BAGS
2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WOULD FLASH RED ON AND OFF EVERYTIME A PASSENGER WAS GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE SEAT. THIS IS A CONTINUE CONCERN FOR ME AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I WORRY THAT IF THE AIRBAG IS FLASHING AND NOT WORKING AND WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THAT SOMEONE WOULD GET EXTREMELY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE SATURN HOTLINE TO FILE A COMPLAINT, THEY STATED THAT "MY VEHICLE/VIN # WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST". THIS IS RIDICULOUS AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND OBVIOUSLY IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FREE OF CHARGE AT MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP SINCE IT HAS A RECALL. *TR

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. GM DEALER INSTRUCTED ME THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS BROKEN AT THE PLUG WHERE IT PLUGS INTO THE LIGHT SOCKET. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND DO NOT ABOUT THIS SIGHT TO FILE THE COMPLAINT. I HAVE READ ON OTHER FORUMS AND KNOW THIS FOR SURE AND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THEN THE NATIONAL SAFETY BOARD SHOULD MAKE A RECALL ON THE ISSUE AND HAVE EVERYONE'S PROBLEM TAKING CARE OF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS MELTED. SINCE THE HEADLIGHT SOCKET WIRING HARNESS FAILED, IT CAUSED THE HEAD BEAM LIGHT TO FAIL AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
