EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HAVING ISSUE WITH LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS NOT OPERATING. I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR DURING RAIN. HAD A MASTER MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID IT IS THE HEADLIGHT HARNESS. THAT IT TENDS TO MELT AND IT WILL COST ME AN ARM AND A LEG TO REPLACE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND IT SHOULD BE ON RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR DURING RAIN STORMS HAVING TO LEAVE MY HIGH BEAMS ON ONLY IRRITATES OTHER DRIVERS NOT TO MENTION MYSELF.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
IF THE STEEL CABLE BECOMES FATIGUED AND SEPARATES, THE SEATBELT MAY NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE SEAT OCCUPANT INCREASING THE RISK OF AN INJURY IN A CRASH. FAILURE OF THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS TO DEPLOY IN A CRASH INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT.

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY. EVERYTHING ELSE STAYS ON EXCEPT ENGINE. IT HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS HIGH SPEEDS BACKING UP. IT HAPPENED TO MY FIANCE ON THE FREEWAY AND ALSO HAD A NO CRANK NO START SITUATION. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB. A LOT OF VETS OF THIS TYPE FROM GM. THE GMC ACADIA CHEVY TRAVERSE AND MORE FROM MY SAME YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR A WEEK AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I'M CONCERNED FOR OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THESE CARS. YOU CAN GOOGLE 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK ACADIA TRAVERSE STALLS RANDOMLY AND SEE ALL THE PEOPLE THIS IS AFFECTING. I PRAY SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AFTER THE RECALL ON THE STRUTS FOR MY TAIL GATE WAS FIXED, THE SAME PROBLEM AROSE. MY TAILGATE WILL NOT OPEN BY ITSELF NOR WILL IT CLOSE BY ITSELF. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE AUTO CONTROL AND USE IT MANUALLY WHICH I AM UNABLE TO DO MOST OF THE TIME BECAUSE IT WILL POP OPEN A FEW INCHES AND NOT OPEN ANY FURTHER. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE THE RECALL WAS FIXED. IT WORKED FINE FOR AWHILE AFTER THAT BUT SOON STOPPED.
