My low beam headlight started to intermittently go out for a while. Then it went out completely. I go to replace the bulb only to find that the bulb wasn-??t the actual issue. The harness, wires, and socket to the bulb were blackened, burnt and melted. So now it all needs to be replaced. I-??ve seen on several forums that has happened to so many people that have a car manufactured by GM. The original wiring is not quality enough for the heat and current that goes through there.

When it rains water is leaking into the vehicle & throughout the 2 years I've owned it the rain has leaked in multiple locations despite having it fixed & causes the wiring, lighting & detrimental/safety sensors & electrical parts to be damaged. I became especially worried when I learned a friend with a 2008 GMC acadia (identical vehicle to Saturn Outlook) is having the exact same water issues. Within a month or 2 of having the leaking and damaged fixed new sensors get wet & issues arise due to leaking in new/different locations. I first noticed it leaking in the front by the windows & sunroof & causing the radio speakers to quit. Within a short while after fixing it the headlights, tail lights & air conditioning then started cutting out & not working. Once again I had the issue fixed but now it is leaking in the dash where water can be heard sloshing around when turning & occasionally leaks into the front floor board. Now the 'stabilitrak' & traction control are all having issues as well as transmission sensors making my car undrivable and unable to shift from second gear until the car sits in the sun or dries out for a few days. The speakers are also not working making the back up cam, and even the warning dash lights have no sound. ** as mentioned before there are many online forums that talk about this leaking issue in both the Saturn Outlook & GMC acadia's. it is very worrisome that things will seem to work & suddenly stop working due to water log damage & when driving at night & headlights/tail lights flicker or quit it is very scary & dangerous. The serious issues with sensors (transmission sensors & stability) just began on my car recently & since I've had this issue fixed so many times it needs to be investigated further before someone gets hurt.

Drivers side low beam headlight wiring harness and plug have melted and I have had replaced and it happens again. The air bag warning light keeps coming on, saying service airbags now. All the speakers in the car have quit working, but if you open and close drivers side rear door they will work until you hit a bump in the road.

Headlight bulb keeps blowing out and sometimes when changed comes on and off intermittently. Have changed bulbs numerous times but continues to happen. Bulbs seem extremely hot when they blow. We have had it rewired numerous times but looks like wires from harness are different gauges than replacements. This is dangerous because I never know when I will be without a headlight. They are dim and even when replaced by silverstar ultra, they remain dimmer than most vehicles. I know this because I can see their headlights more than mine when they are behind me. I cannot see the road hardly at all when driving with one headlight.

The daytime running lights have stopped working. My wife normally drives this vehicle and told me about it this week. I understand the headlight wiring harness are too small and need to changed out to a bigger gauge wire.

"takata recall" front headlight wiring harness has melted at the plug on the passenger side low beam. Done research and it is to small of a wiring harness. I have changed this headlight 2 times prior to the harness melting.

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

In the last 6 months I have had to replace the driver side low beam headlight 3 times. It went out again a few weeks ago and I couldn't find anyone to replace it for me at that time so I had to drive it without the low beam until today. I cannot afford to pay a mechanic fee to have it done and cannot do it myself. A friend of mine said he could fix it today so that I could go get the vehicle inspected. Once he was able to get to the bulb and began to try to get it out the light came on. We were surprised but decided to replace it with the new one anyway. So once the new bulb was in I drove it to a nearby inspection sight to get the inspection done. I passed inspection and continued about my day. When leaving work tonight I realized that the headlight is out again. Please help me with this problem because I cannot afford to pay for costly repairs or tickets over this matter and don't feel that I should have to if there is a manufacturer defect in the headlights or related items. Changing the light bulb is challenging and especially frustrating when it goes out the day it was changed.

Driving late one night when my low beam lights stopped working, I was left with my high beam lights and my fog lights only. Ended up getting pulled over by a police officer on my way home, who advised that it is a common problem with the wiring in similar vehicles.after writing me a warning, I went home with little light for driving. Woke up this morning, attempted to check fuses and bulbs, no issues noted. Can smell a burnt wire smell near headlight. Did my research and apparently is is a very common problem indeed. Please recall headlight wiring harnesses.

When it rains, the headliner gets soaked. The water runs down arm going down in the front that connects the roof and dashboard and floods the driver side dead pedal and floor board. Water also leaks from rear sunroof glass and drips from the rear dome light and leaks to the 3rd row seats/rear compartment.

Low beam headlights continue to go out after replacing with new ones. Has happened parked once but usually occures accelerating after being stopped or after driving distances more than 30 miles. This started back in early 2014 and has continually gotten more and more frequent. Other various electrical problems keep occuring such as lights dimming while driving (interior dash) and climate control setting changing to what I can presume are default settings (74 deg for both driver and passenger side turning on)

Passenger headlight continually burns out. We have replaced the bulb several times. I have done this myself as well as had it professionally replaced at the dealer and the bulb continues to burn out after just a few weeks.. there has to be a short in the wiring causing this. I have searched online and it looks like I am not alone and this is a widespread problem.
