Used 2009 Saturn Outlook SUV Consumer Reviews
2009 Saturn outlook AWD
As soon as factory warranty expired, Water pump failed... power steering pump failed.. premature headlight failure...very bad air bag sensor harness connector... very poor gas mileage ( worst than Chevy suburban ) and number of Erratic code . I really babied this suv because I read about premature timing chain failure and various mechanical issues. I purchased this vehicle for exterior beauty and comfortable ride. I only bought GM products last 30 years. This is one of the worst vehicle with poor engineering defects.

It was good for a while, but...
...this former fleet rental car got to be real sketchy after owning it for awhile. GM ended up repairing the transmission under warranty after the ubiquitous wave plate issue. We had to replace coil packs on the engine (all of them) after 90k or so. Apparently, this is "standard" for these engines. Then, at 108k, the engine needed to be replaced altogether. GM was going to charge us $9k for the job. After paying to have the engine replaced by my mechanic, it is time to let the car go (my mechanic told me to sell it long ago). My window switches also don't work; I'm not sure that's an across the board problem like the other issues, but I thought I would mention it, because the dealership told me that they "couldn't duplicate the problem" (even though the passenger switches obviously don't work if you try to put the windows down). Generally poor and slow dealer service, as well. Not sure if that's a local or systemic problem, but do yourself a favor and buy something else. Thank me later.
