| This vehicle has a problem with leaking water when it rains! water will leak from the sunroof and pool in the passenger front seat foot well. it will fill the glove box and the foot well. the vehicle has been to the dealership for the problem every year since it has been owned by us. we recently were out of town and had to let the vehicle sit outside while we were away. when we arrived back from our trip the vehicle was filled with water in the footwell of the passenger side. all of the windows were steamed up, and the temperature outside was around 95 degrees, since then it has continued to rain and i have had to shop vac out the standing water. the biggest problem is the mold that has begun to grow in the car. the glove box has filled with water and ruined everything in it. there have been multiple warning lights that have come on since such as check airbags which i have personally seen water leak from. this is no longer a safe vehicle for me, my wife , or my three young children. i haven't been able to reach anyone other than the dealer to express my concern. i love the vehicle but my family's health is priority. *tr | |||

| Sunroof leaking water into the passage compartment and down the front firewall and glove box compartment. water entered into the cover that hides the front a/c blower motor. motor is sitting in 1-2 inches of water. motor starting to corrode and stopped working. lucky there wasn't a fire. found utube video describing how to fix this problem. removed cover to blower and freed up blower motor corrosion. ordered a replacement blower motor. drilled 2 holes in this cover to allow future water collection a drainage route out of this cover. sunroof needs recalled and blower motors need recalled as well. http://youtu.be/fnykjlhusxi cost to repair this was $78 for part and about 1 hour labor. *tr | |||

| Sunroof leaks. the leaks lead to reserves of water above the headliner that can be heard when turns are made. significant amounts of water run through air bags on a columns and dashboard. given that the battery has died on me six times, i am concerned about long term electrical damage and proper air bag deployment. dealer has attempted to repair five times. *tr | |||

| My 2007 outlook xr leaks water inside of it and is messing up the electrical stuff in it. it has started telling me to have the airbag serviced, so now i am worried that it will either randomly go off or not go off when it is supposed to. it has told me that my car was over heated when i have just started it. it has continued to keep running when i have turned the key off and removed it from the ignition switch. i have read several other complaints on the internet from other owners. edmunds website has several complaints on there that you can read. i have contacted general motor over this matter because the water leaking in is from factory defects. other owners have taken their outlooks in to the general motors service centers numerous times and their outlooks continue to leak. i had the top of my outlook covered with plastic and water still leaked in when it rained. i vacuumed 6 gallons of water out of it and could not get all of the water out, which is going to lead to it molding and mildewing. something needs to be done to pull these unsafe vehicles off the road. | |||
