2.1% of complaints about the 2008 Saturn Outlook came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2008 vehicle — around the middle of the 262 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 5.3 yr in service. The most-reported system is exterior lighting (250 complaints), typically at 3.3 yr or about 45,000 miles.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia and 2009-2013 Chevrolet Traverse and 2008-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the driver and passenger seat mounted side impact air bag (SIAB) wiring harnesses may result in the SIAB and seat belt pretensioners not deploying in the event of 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.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILS TO REGISTER AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, THEREFORE THE SYSTEM IS NOT ALWAYS ACTIVE. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. *TR
MY 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK'S PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS 'OFF' EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT WITH THE SEATBELT ON. I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2007 MODEL BUT NOT ONE ISSUED FOR THE 2008 MODEL. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE BAG IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN OUTLOOK. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED SHE NOTICED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE BUT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS RESET TO CLEAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. AFTER EACH FAILURE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE VARIOUS REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,241. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
I HAVE AN 08 SATURN OUTLOOK THAT WILL ROLL BACK WHILE IN DRIVE ON ANY KIND OF INCLINE. MY WIFE HAS ALMOST HAD A FEW ACCIDENTS IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS, BUT SATURN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS JUST THE WAY THE VEHICLE WORKS AND THAT IS IT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL YET SO THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. SOMETHING SEEMS VERY WRONG TO ME, MY FAMILIES LIVES ARE IN DANGER IN THIS VEHICLE BUT SATURN DOES NOT CARE BECAUSE ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE NOT COMPLAINED? *TR
