Driving and headlight goes out. Headlight has gone out two times since ownership of year and a half. I have replaced the wire harness on the driverside headlight once and going to replace it again! I will hang on to this harness for the future.

Replaced passenger side headlamp and 2 weeks later it was burned out again. I have now replaced the same headlamp 4 times in 2 months. The dealership is saying they will have to charge an outrageous amount for diagnostics. The wiring harness appears to be burned. Over $500 to repair.

2009 Saturn Outlook, driver side hid headlight has quit working (less than 27K miles). I assume the headlight lamp or bulb is burnt out, owners manual directs the owner to have dealership perform the repairs.

Low beam outage driver and passenger sides 2009 Saturn Outlook. An excessive amount of current causes a melting of the weak wiring and connector assemblies on both low beam headlights causing the leads to carbon coat and in effect become non conductive. Due to the outage and ill placement of the headlamps (too deep into the assembly) if one or both the headlamps become non functional, the vehicle becomes a hazard to drive during minimal light conditions.

Replace both headlight harnesses on my 2009 Saturn Outlook twice already. Going in for a third time for the driver's side headlight harness. Lights are needed for night time driving.

The low-beam headlights in my 2009 Saturn Outlook have a severe safety issue -- they are failing regularly now, wish poses a major issue when it occurs at night. I purchased the car used from a local dealer in November 2009, and while I was test driving it, the right low-beam bulb burned out. To my knowledge, this was the original bulb and it was to be expected that it would need to be replaced after 35000 miles. However, in early February 2010, the same bulb went out again, this time simultaneous to the left low-beam bulb burning out (the expected burn-out of the original bulb), leaving me with no headlights at night. The dealer informed me that the harness for the right bulb had melted and would have to be replaced along with the bulb. They performed the service free-of-charge. Now, less than two weeks later, the right headlight is out again, and I am taking it in for repair. I have read complaints from many 2007 and 2008 Saturn Outlook owners with the identical problem, but none yet for the 2009 model year, presumably because few 2009S have as many miles as mine does at this time. This repeated failure is both (1) very dangerous and (2) very costly. When a fix or recall is issued for the 2007 and 2008 model years, it needs to be carried forward for the 2009 model year, as it is clear that Saturn used the same assembly for all three years and the 2009S are having the same problem as the earlier models.
