Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP filed June 30, 2014

NHTSA complaint #1081197 (ODI reference 10607055) concerns a 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK and was filed on June 30, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 29, 2010. The vehicle had 31,182 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Colorado based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as steering:hydraulic power assist:pump, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same SATURN OUTLOOK cohort independently describe similar steering:hydraulic power assist:pump failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
