Replying to: lakegal (Jun 16, 2008 2:16 pm) I have a 2008 Saturn Outlook and recently had some major leaking problems (like having to hold a cup to catch a lot of water!) I turned the corner and my car sounded like a bucket of water sloshing from side to side. That same evening, water started leaking through all the seams in the front of my car (ie: the airbags on the side columns, the 3 buttons used for remote openers, my visor and the emergency brake area etc... ) I also had warning lights and alarms going off because there was water in my electrical system! I had the car towed to the Saturn dealership and they claimed it was a problem with the drain flaps. They said they removed the flaps to solve the problem. They also had to remove the carpet from my car and suck out all the water then let the carpet dry (still drying...). I asked about replacing the drains with longer ones which seams to have helped in some situations. Saturn didn't feel that was necessary; removing the flaps should do the trick.   I mentioned to the dealership that I have read about this problem online and it appears that it had happened to several other people from around the country. Saturn 'wasn't aware that there was any problem' (even though some owners have filed a lemon law claims and others are getting attorneys involved to resolve their issues with the Outlook).    I called the Saturn Corporation to ask if we could discuss an extended warranty. I love this car and I wanted to know that if I kept it and down the road something happened related to the current water dammage, I would be covered. Saturn's reply "We understand your frustration however, Saturn is not prepared to take this any further." After a bit of 'discussion' they hung up on me! What?   So, I am here to post my 'opinion' on the Saturn Outlook and the HORRIBLE Customer service.   It is a beautiful car and overall I love it. I just wouldn't recommend it and I wouldn't buy it if I had the choice again. Replies to this message: alman08 (Oct 12, 2009 8:05 am) lakegal (Oct 13, 2009 8:33 am)
#43 of 51 Don't buy an Outlook by texasdj Oct 08, 2009 (12:47 pm)
I have had an 08 outlook with sunroof for 15 months. During that time, it has been at the dealer 5 times to repair water leaks. They said it was sunroof drains. They were too short or clogged. Those were fixed. But at next rain, the headliner above the mirror and floor on front passenger side were soaked. Back to dealer i went where on 3 more occassion they said it was a windshield leak. The probelm still persist and I am completely frustrated with dealer and GM customer service who were no help at all. My next step is to get an attorney. Seems like a recall of all these vehicles are in order.

Replying to: alman08 (Oct 12, 2009 8:05 am) yes they are aware of the leaks, there was a recall to bring your outlook in for the extensions on the sunroof tubes. I filed for the lemon law on mine.

Were these leaks from factory or aftermarket installed sunroofs? We are interested in buying a 2008 Saturn that doesn't have that and want to have it installed.

Replying to: mcmow (Oct 15, 2009 10:33 pm) Mine was factory installed. But I would caution you that the leaks are not just from the sunroofs but porly sealed windshields and some body seams. Check carefully. Replies to this message: texasdj (Oct 16, 2009 5:21 am)

Replying to: mcmow (Oct 15, 2009 10:33 pm) I would be very concerned about buying a Saturn right now. Saturns are no longer being made and all the problems with them that they have been having. I think it will be a big headache and major repairs in the future.
