2008 Saturn Outlook headlamp wiring harness melted on drivers side (3rd time this has occurred). This is a safety issue!

The contact owns a 2008 Saturn Outlook. The contact stated that the wiring for the exterior lights was melted. As a result, the lights would not function at night. In addition, the vehicle would not shift into third gear while driving. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, where the dealer diagnosed that a speed sensor was needed to repair the transmission and an exterior lighting assembly was needed to repair the wiring. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The failure and current mileages were 100,000. The VIN was unavailable.

I have a 2008 Saturn Outlook which I purchased new. I have had multiple problems with the front headlight wiring harness burning out/melting. This has happened twice to both headlights. The first time this happened I was able to have the dealer (GM at that time) fix the problem under warranty. The last 3 times I have had to pay for this myself since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. GM was willing to fix it, but not cover the cost, so I took it to my local repair shop because it was less expensive there.

Passenger headlight not working on the 2008 Saturn Outlook xe. This vehicle only has 33,000 miles on it, so I'm quite surprised that it has already stopped working. I've read on other websites that there is a possible issue with the wiring harness being faulty and melting. This concerns me due to the fact that this lightbulb and wiring harness is not an easy part to replace.

I have a 2008 Saturn Outlook, on 7/26/11 my driver side headlamp bulb went out. After I looked at it closely, the harness was charred and melted. This was the second time this has happened to the driver side headlamp. The first time happened at 21,000 miles, very early for something like this to happen. I called the dealer and they quoted me on three parts if needed: Bulb $18; harness $40; headlamp assembly $377. Something is wrong with that headlamp wiring that has cause this problem again and im not the only one. This shouldn't be happening to a fairly new vehicle. GM needs to fix this issue if they expect customers to be loyal and continue buying their vehicles. This might be my last GM vehicle.

The right front headlight of our 2008 Outlook went out. I replaced it. After a few months it went out again. This time when I looked at the socket into which the bulb was to sit, I noticed it was melted and burned.

Vehicle headlight bulb on passenger side blew out. Thought the bulb was just blown. Found the wire harness had melted also. Found on the internet this a well known issue, with the harnesses melting.. fire could have occurred in my opinion. Vehicle out of warranty, so dealer wont cover. Service bulletin available but vehicle out of warranty

My headlight burned out on my 2008 Saturn Outlook. I tried to replace it and it still didn't work. I had a shop replace it thinking that I touched the bulb and was told that the socket/harness was melted and some of the wires beyond that were exposed. I called the dealer and this is not covered under extended warranty and was told that even if fixed, would happen over and over because the bulb is too hot and melts the wiring. I think this is a design issue and should be recalled. There are thousands of claims of this happening exactly the same way so it is a design flaw and should be dealt with by GM. I have since gotten pulled over and issued a citation for no headlight but don't have the outrageous amount of money to replace all components and pay labor charges of 1.6 hours plus. This is dangerous due to loss of headlights for visibility, intermittent working of headlights, which if both went out could leave me stranded with four kids, and the exposed wire could cause an engine fire or short that could damage other components or the whole vehicle. So as of this message I still only have one working headlight (which may burn out soon too if its too hot for the wires) and am waiting for my next ticket......

Passenger side headlights have burnt out twice in the last several months. The second time we went to change it the wires are all melted. Need to have taken in for a new wire harness, this happened already twice to the drivers side of my vehicle. It is dangerous to have wires melting over and over. This is also a costly repair that should be recalled since it is not normal for this many cars to have this exact same problem, it is obviously a faulty design.

2008 Saturn Outlook. Replaced both front headlights in the past two months. Headlights burned out again. Headlight wiring has melted - have to replace wiring and wiring harness. This should be a recall - it's not due to wear and tear of vehicle. Is poor equipment used in manufacturing.

In June of 2010, the right headlight went out on my 2008 Saturn Outlook. After taking to the dealer, it was discovered that the wiring harness had melted ! the harness was replaced at that time. While on vacation this July, 2011, and 800 miles from home, the left headlight is working when it wants to. After reading several other complaints, I am quite concerned about this problem and fearful of a fire. My vehicle has approx. 45,000 miles on it at this time. Of course, the bumper to bumper warranty has expired. I feel that this matter should be checked into and repairs should be done at no cost to the customer. A recall is needed immediately !

I have a 2008 Saturn Outlook that has a faulty headlight. At first, I thought it was a bulb and purchased a new one. Then, it went out again a few week later. Did the same thing again, purchased a bulb and replaced it. That went out shortly also. Finally had to take to dealer. Turns out to be a faulty wiring harness and it costs hundreds of dollars to fix. Because I was out of my bumper to bumper warranty by that time the fix was not covered even though it was under warranty when it first was a problem. My warranty expired during the time I wasted with changing bulbs. Based on my research this has been a chronic known problem for GM for several years, yet GM has not resolved the situation with a recall.

Headlights go out due to a faulty wire harness. Has happened many times and I fix it just to have them go out again. This is a clear safety issue and many people have had the same problem. Time to step up and fix this obvious safety problem.

On my 2008 Saturn Outlook the passenger side headlight went out then after being replaced went out again about a month later come to find out the wiring burned out and had to be replaced. A few months later I was driving and pulled over for the driver side headlight being out. I had the light replaced only for it to go out a few months later and also at this time told the wiring melted and I had to get the whole thing replaced. This is a safety issue I drive with kids in my car and if this ever happened to both lights at night I don't want to think of what could have happened.

I purchased a 2008 Saturn Outlook in February of 2011. My passenger headlamp (low beam) electrical harness connector to the bulb melted and caused a sparks to come out to the headlamp protector..also damaging it..

- El Paso, TX, USA

I own a 2008 Saturn Outlook and the passenger side headlight has gone out. The vehicle has 47,000 miles on it and the wiring harness is most likely burned out and melted as many other 08' Saturn Outlook's have been known to do. This is a significant safety issue because there have been many documented cases where faulty electrical wiring have been know to cause vehicle fires. This issue should not have to create fire, property damage or injury in order to initiate a recall given the history of known problems with faulty electrical wiring.

Passenger low beam headlight went out, and wiring was found to be melted, repaired and now 4 months later the passenger low beam headlight is now again out.
