Saturn Outlook Noises and Sounds
Since my first service, I have had a clicking type noise in my front end of the car when I am driveing slowly(parking,pulling into my driveway).The dealer first said that it could be the brakes setting up after the car sat for a while. They "could not duplicate" the sound when the car was dropped off, but I still hear when I drive. Any ideas?

I am new to this forum but was surfing around trying to find Outlook owners that may be having a noise from under the front end. I too have the same noise and it is driving me crazy. I have it in the shop as we speak for the (4th) time the shop men have told me they have heard it, they haven't, replaced struts, told me a rock was hung (somewhere) and to my not so surprised self my Outlook is still making the "cracking/popping/hard to describe noise. I am very dissappointed at this point. You never know when it will happen. You can't make it do it on command. I do hear it more when driving slow, turning, up and down inclines,stop and go(like at red lights). I like your wife feel like I have a Big Lots Buy. My husband and I are in contact with Saturn Manufacturing and have opened a case. Maybe you should do the same and get the owner of the dealership in on it too. Nothing makes me madder than to tell the gods truth and be made feel your hearing things. I would like to talk to you more by private e-mail if possible mine is christie_rachelle@yahoo.com
Thanks for posting I will check back

Has anybody ever gotten anywhere with this? I'm ready to take a loss and trade this thing in for a different vehicle (not Saturn). This is what they did to my vehicle since I purchased it.....
1- Greased front end.
2- Changed bushings.
3- minor adjustments.
4- struts.
5- who knows?
What gives? It sounds like some other people have had steering related issues covered under powertrain? They quoted me over $1,000 for this repair.
I'm sorry to hear about the concern that has surfaced with your Outlook. Have you worked with Customer Assistance on this already?
Best,

Congratulations on your new Outlook!
As spooky1966 said, you can contact your dealership to learn more information about recalls, or if you wanted to do it over the internet, send and email to us at socialmedia@gm.com with the last 8 digits of your VIN and we'll get you recall information as well.
Safety recalls do not have any mileage or time parameters, and so will not expire. If there are open recalls, we can certainly get those taken care of for you!
All the best,
Sarah

I apologize for your frustrations and inconvenience. I would recommend having the dealer take a look at it next time you are in for service. Please keep me updated.
