In a significant move, GM has told dealers to temporarily stop selling the Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia, two all-new crossovers that are immensely important to the automaker. According to a GM release:
“Based on recent learnings from our pre-production test fleet, GM has requested that dealers make two (non-safety) enhancements to all 2007 GMC Acadia and 2007 Saturn Outlook vehicles in their inventory to ensure customer satisfaction."
The company says it has not sold either of the models to retail customers yet, and it wouldn’t provide specifics about what the two fixes are. Cars.com’s Joe Wiesenfelder reviewed the new Outlook last week and found issues with the transmission and acceleration of his test vehicle. Again, we don’t know if those were the issues targeted by this stop order.
There’s no word on when the vehicles will go on sale or if the fix can be easily completed by the dealers. Without more information, we’re hesitant to guess at the impact this will have on initial quality, but it sure won’t look good on the evening news. We’ll post an update as soon as we receive more specifics.
