The driver-side headlight used to work intermittently. After a while, the primary driver's side headlight no longer works, although the high-beams still do. No parts have been replaced, but I have read of identical issues with other Outlook owners and the faulty wiring harness for the headlamps.

2008 Saturn Outlook. Low beam light went out. Went to have bulb replaced, found out it was faulty wiring, bulb is fine. One day the light is on, the next day, the light doesn't work.

Driver side low beam bulb stopped working...and would not work after multiple on-off cycles and restarts. When I went to change the bulb I noticed the harness was melted at the bulb connector. I was able to clean out the melted plastic and bulb worked, but have to replace harness due to melted and exposed wires.

The failure that occurred in my 2008 Saturn Outlook was a faulty driver's side wiring harness for the headlight, which resulted in the lowbeam headlight being inoperable. This occurred on May 8th, 2011 and was continuous. I had the wiring harness replaced at my cost due to the safety issue of only driving with one working headlight at night as well as the fact it's against the law in the state of Ohio. Additionally, I was traveling to Canada and did not want to risk the possibility of a crash or collision with an animal due to the faulty light. I paid out of pocket over $270 for the necessary repairs including parts and labor (the old part is not available). GM published a bulletin regarding this issue: (#09-08-42-004: Low beam headlamp bulb inoperative - replace harness and fill connector cavity for low beam bulb connector with nyogel grease May 29, 2009) this is most definitely a safety issue and should be recalled immediately. Thank you for your time and consideration with this matter.

My 2008 Saturn Outlook (recently purchased used) has intermittent headlight issues. The headlights go in and out with no warning. The service center quoted me over $600 to fix the issue. They say it's a faulty wiring harness common with the Saturn Outlook model. Not a bulb burnout, but a structural problem that Saturn knew about. I've done some research online and this seems to be fairly widespread. I can't help but feel like GM has taken advantage of a lot of people.

I have a 2008 Saturn Outlook. When going to replace the headlamp bulb all of the wires have melted. Now I will have to pay for a new one due to the fact my warranty had just expired. Thankfully the car did not burn up due to the fact on was on a twelve hour drive with my family.

Headlight wire harness failure. Headlamps were burning out frequently and finally determined that GM installed faulty low gauge wiring. Harness in my vehicle was burned and melted causing a fire risk. The dealer replaced one harness while still under warranty. I am having to replace the other harness now at 64K miles.

Passenger side headlight is out on Saturn Outlook. Wiring harness is melted. This happened on the drivers side about a year ago. Very expensive to replace and is obviously a design flaw and a huge danger as we are without low beams until we can get it fixed and parts are on backorder. Probably because everyone is having a problem.

I own a 2008 Saturn Outlook and the low beam light on the passenger side went out, I took it to a GM dealer to replace the bulb. The dealer told me that it was not the bulb, but the harness or sleeve. They told me it was cost me $799 that was a month ago. Now the other side has gone out too. I think they would do a call back, because I checked on line and found that there are a number of people with the same problem and complaints. My Outlook had 42,000 miles on it. I really need some help in this matter, I can't afford to fix this problem. I had to be bad from the beginning.

We bought our 2008 Saturn Outlook xr in Dec. 2010 from carmax. It had ~35,000 miles on it. At ~38,500 miles the passenger side low beam headlight went out. I removed the bulb and found the connector was melted. I tried replacing the bulb, but the light did not work. The cable must be ruined.

Passenger headlamp harness is defective and headlamp does not work. This is a 2008 Saturn Outlook of course it is not covered because it was just after 50,000 miles. The wiring is exposed to the headlamp and shorted out.

Drivers side low beam headlight went out. I have 30,000 miles on my 2008 Saturn Outlook. Replaced the bulb. Light went out again during 20 hour drive home. Turns out harness is melted and the bulb is fine.

I have replaced 4 headlamps in less than 12 months on the driver's side of my 2008 Saturn Outlook. Now the service department tells me I need to have the wiring harness replaced. It is on order and I can't drive my car at night for fear of getting a ticket.

- Bryan, TX, USA

My 2008 Saturn Outlook...the left headlamp would go out and then on and out, etc. I took the Saturn to the shop where I purchased this vehicle new. It was the wire harness that was bad so they replaced this and also replaced the headlamp bulb. It cost a total of $148.38. My vehicle has only 52,000 miles on it. Seems to be a problem with the Outlook and should have been a recall on this.
