| The driver seat rocks back and forth like a rocking chair and could possibly come loose from seat track in event of crash injuring driver. this condition was first taken care of about 1 1/2 years ago with a technical service bulletin from gm. this inserted a bolt in the seat and this was supposed to correct the condition. the problem returned and the bolt inserted was rolling on the floor out of place. took car to dealer and dealer stated that seat track became damaged due to bolt (from tsb) and thus bolt gave way allowing seat to not be stable. the seat track must be replaced to correct at cost of $750..saturn has stated that they will do for $200 deductible but since this is a safety condition and it was caused by a previous gm service bulletin directly...saturn needs to do at no charge..all driver power seats in this class should be inspected, adjusted and tracks replaced...as necessary as the bolt in the technical service bulletin fixes a symptom but causes my problem as stated by the dealer. | |||

| Electric driver's seat on 2007 saturn outlook is broken and no longer moves forward, it is broken in the fartherest back position. i can barely reach the pedals and my foot has slipped off the gas and the brake several times while driving. i took the car into saturn and they said it would be $645.00 to repair. i don't believe the seat should have broken so soon (or at all), 3 years old with 54,000 miles on car. i filed a complaint with general motors and they did their investigation (if you call it that) and said they would not pay for repairs, or even give me a discounted price on the repair. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2007 saturn outlook. the small children in the vehicle are able to pull the lever out of the middle rear seat in the vehicle. this causes the seat to fall backwards. the contact is concerned that it may cause potential harm if there is a child seated in the back seat. also, in the event of a crash, the seat could collapse on a child seated in the third row seats. the dealer stated that there were no recalls for the failure and the seats were operating normally. the manufacturer agreed with the dealer. the current and failure mileages were 18,000. updated 01/08/09. *lj updated 01/08/09. *jb | |||
