problem #1

Apr 052011

Outlook 6-cyl

  • 47,800 miles
Driver side low beam light headlight does not work all the time on my 2009 Saturn Outlook that I just purchased on April 5th, 2011. After researching the problem and trying to fix the issue myself, found that there have many numerous reports of the wiring harness being wrong wire gauge that GM placed on this vehicle. It is very difficult to change the bulbs, having to remove front bumper and/or the undercover of the driver side fender well. Does not make sense to have to do all this just to replace a headlight, plus, why would GM put incorrect wiring harness on this extremely nice vehicle...recall should/must be issued immediately very dangerous not have driver side headlight work when it wants to and it happens very very frequently, have to knock on the light assembly and sometimes it comes on, most of the time it stays off...I have purchase replacement bulbs but looking like its the wiring harness is the problem, according to all the other complaints I continue to read on-line. I am going to attempt to replace, but a recall is a must!!!
