WHEN THE GAS TANK IS AT 1/4 OR LESS AND THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE EITHER FORWARD OR BACKWARDS THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED. SINCE THE GAUGE READS EMPTY THE CAR STALLS ONCE IT IS STARTED OR IT DOESN'T START. WHEN IT STALLS AFTER THE CAR IS IN DRIVE I LOOSE MY POWER BRAKES AND I AM UNABLE TO APPLY MY BRAKES EASILY AND MY CHILDREN AND I ARE PUT IN A BAD SAFETY SITUATION. I AM UNABLE TO STOP IF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE RUNS IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN IT STALLS. THIS IS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. SATURN…

MY OUTLOOK IS AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000MILES. AT ABOUT 30,000 THERE STARTED TO BE A VERY NOTICEABLE WHINE IN THE STEERING COLUMN, ESPECIALLY UPON TURNING. SEVERAL TIMES I NOTICED THE STEERING KIND OF TURNING ROUGH WITH A SHARP TURN, AS IN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. TWO WEEKS AGO AFTER GOING THROUGH STANDING WATER IN THE ROADWAY, I BEGAN TO TURN LEFT ONTO A SIDE STREET AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP-NOT A LOSS OF POWER STEERING, THERE WAS NO WAY TO TURN THE WHEEL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SERVICE SHOP THAT AFTERNOON. UPON DESCRIBING MY ISSUE T…

1. WAS DRIVING ON I95 IN MARYLAND. SPEED ABOUT 65 MPH. 2. LOSS OF POWER STEERING (STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO DIRECT STEERING). BEFORE AUGUST 18, 2010 THE FAILURE HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES BUT WERE AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE LAST INCIDENT WHICH HAPPENED ON AUGUST 18, 2010 WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND I ALMOST SIDE SWIPED A TRACTOR TRAILER BECAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE. I WAS LUCKY TO AVOID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. 3. I PUT IN A CALL TO SATURN CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT F…
