2007 Saturn Sky complaints

I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECALLED AND CONTACTED MY DEALER "AIRPORT CHEVROLET" IN MEDFORD OREGON FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT REPAIRED. IT HAS NOW BEEN ABOUT TWO MONTHS AND THE DEALER IS STILL CLAIMING THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE NECESSARY PARTS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET, TWO MONTHS IS LONGER THAN IT TAKES TO RECEIVE A SPECIAL ORDER CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERECONTACTED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE REPAIR WAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED.

2007 SATURN SKY 25000 MILES I JUST TOOK MY SKY INTO THE DEALER FOR THE IGNITION RECALL, AND WHILE THERE I HAD THEM RUN DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON MY AIRBAG SYSTEM AT THE COST OF 113 DOLLARS. IT HAD CODE B0081 ( PASSENGER PRESENT MODULE FAILURE). THIS I EXPECTED FROM READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED. I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ON OTHER SATURN FORUMS, WHERE SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE (1000 DOLLARS), JUST TO HAVE IT RETURN IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I DON?T THINK THE PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE TO PAY SUCH AN EXPENSE FOR A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A SAFETY RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

AT TIMES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR SHOWS OFF WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS. MOST OF THE TIME THE INDICATOR IS ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR AND WHEN THE INDICATOR IS OFF I HAVE TRIED TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST SATURN DEALER BUT THE INDICATOR THEN SHOWS ON WHEN I GET TO THE DEALER(WHICH WAS 50 MILES AWAY). FINALLY WHEN THE RECENT GM IGNITION SWITCH RECALL DIRECTED ME TO A CLOSER GM DEALER I BROUGHT MY CAR IN AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE AIR BAG ISSUE. FOR TWO DAYS THEY COULD NOT GET THE AIR BAG INDICATOR TO SHOW OFF WITH A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, HOWEVER ON THE THIRD DAY THE INDICATOR SHOWED OFF. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT. TO REPLACE THE PART($500.00) AND LABOR COST IT WOULD COST ME $800.00. THEY TOLD ME OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL THIS SHOULD ALSO BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE NHTSA RECALL NOTIFICATION RELATED TO CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THERE WERE NO FAILURES AT THIS TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DELAY. ...UPDATED 09-05-14 *BF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 9/15/2014 *JS

MY AIRBAG SENSOR QUIT WORKING. AT THIS LOW MILEAGE THERE SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. NOW MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I'M FORCED TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED OUT OF POCKET. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. I ENCOURAGE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE AND HAVE GM RECALL VEHICLES WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE. IT IS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC. *TR

REVS FORWARD BY REVING FORWARD I MEAN THAT WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE CAR GOES FORWARD MANY TIMES UNTIL I COMPLETE A STOP AND EVERYTIME THAT HAPPENS ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE ALREADY CHANGE THE BRAKES AND STILL PROBLEM CONTINUES. AIR BAG I HAVE FIXED IT WHEN IT WHEN OFF AND SPEND AROUND $1100 IN TOTAL AND MONTHS LATER WHEN ON AGAIN. I REALLY DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT ANYMORE SO PLEASE HELP AND FIX MY CAR. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING IS ACTIVATED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SENSOR WHICH RESULTS IN AIR BAG NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY OR BEING DEPLOYED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THE REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME HAD PASSED IN ORDER TO HAVE REPAIRS PERFORMED FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER STATED THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT EXHIBITED THE FAILURE. UPDATED 08/14/2014*L'S

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) WAS RECEIVED MARCH 2012 HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAD ADVISED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND PLACED THE CONTACT ON A WAITING LIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 08/14/2014*LJ

THE SATURN SKY WAS PURCHASED WITH A FAILED SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT FOR THE AIRBAG. UPON RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE. IT AFFECTS MULTIPLE YEARS AND GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT SINCE IT STARTED HAPPENING. YET UPON REVIEW THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE IN REGARDS TO THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGER IN A TWO SEAT CAR. GM IS NOW ISSUING RECALLS FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING AND I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS TO YOUR ORGANIZATION IN REGARDS TO THE AIRBAG SENSOR PROBLEM, BUT GM DOES NOTHING. WHEN IS THIS ISSUE GOING TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY? I WISH I HAD THE STATISTICS ON HOW MANY HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS FAILED SENSOR SO I COULD INCLUDE THAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE ON FRIDAY, MAY 16TH, 2014 I NOTICED THE SERVICE AIRBAG SOON LIGHT AND NOTIFICATION WERE DISPLAYED ON THE DIC. AFTER STARTUP AND VEHICLE SYSTEM CHECK THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. *JS

MY VEHICLE'S AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD IT INSPECTED BY KEYES CHEVROLET, A REGISTERED SATURN SERVICER. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MODULE WAS FAULTY AND IT WOULD BE ABOUT 900-1000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. THEY DIDN'T PRINT ME THE ESTIMATE OR THE PART NUMBER. I WENT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SAID THE PART WAS INDEED AROUND 500 DOLLARS, BUT THE AIRBAG SENSOR SHOULD NOT BE FAULTY AFTER ONLY 62,000 MILES. MY EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN THROUGH FORD REFUSES TO COVER THIS EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. IF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED TO ME OR MY PASSENGER DUE TO THIS ISSUE I WOULD ABSOLUTELY FILE A LAWSUIT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY NEARLY A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM GOING THROUGH A RECALL RIGHT NOW WITH THE IGNITION- AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN, MAY CAR COULD SLIP INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE WHILE IN PARK AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE 2 MONTHS TO GET THE RECALL PARTS IN? THIS IS ALL TERRIFYING AND UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN VEHICLE. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WITHIN 48 HOURS AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO WORKING AIRBAGS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS , ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), HOWEVER THE PARTS NEEDED TO COMPLETE EACH RECALL SERVICE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR WHEN THE REMEDY PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I HAVE HAD 2 SATURN SKY'S, BOTH HAVE RANDOMLY DISABLED THEIR AIRBAGS WHILE DRIVING DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN I WENT ONLINE I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND EVEN READ NEWS BROADCASTS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC SENSOR FAILING. THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE IS ONE OF THOSE STORIES. MY DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL MATTER. HTTP://WWW.WSMV.COM/STORY/24037545/DEVICES-TRIGGERING-PASSENGER-AIR-BAGS-REPEATEDLY-RECALLED *JS

SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON. THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE GM RECALL BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

SATURN 2007 SKY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT AT 70,000 MILES PASSENGER SIDE. A LOT OF SATURN SKYS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!! *JS

SATURAN 2007 SKY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT AT 70,000 MILES PASSENGER SIDE. A LOT OF SATURN SKYS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!! *JS

AIR BAG SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. LIGHT COMES ON, INDICATING SENSOR PROBLEM. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PASS SAFETY INSPECTIONS IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. LOOKING AT $800 TO REPLACE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THESE CARS. *TR

2007 SATURN SKY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR CONDITION WORKED FOR AWHILE, BUT THEN STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, AND THEY STATED THE BLOWER MOTOR, RESISTOR AND CONNECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SOON AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE DEALER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE THERMOSTAT, WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER, BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITION WAS STILL NOT WORKING. THE OTHER DEALER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS INDEED THE THERMOSTAT. *JB

AIR BAG SENSOR ARE MALFUNCTIONING ON THIS MODEL CAR AND ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY GM. IF AIR BAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY DURING A CRASH PASSENGERS COULD BY FATALLY INJURED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 05/28/14*LJ UPDATED 05/30/2014 *JS

IN MARCH 2011 PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR FAILED. NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. $700.00 TO REPLACE. NOW, MARCH 2014: MILEAGE 44,000. AGAIN NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. AIRBAG SENSOR AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE FAILURE. IT WILL BE $821.00 TO REPLACE. *TR

THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR AWHILE. IT HAD BEEN 'FIXED' ONCE BEFORE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE EXACT SAME SENSOR WENT OUT SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION JUNE 2012). CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS FAULTY (DISABLED) SENSOR WILL NOT DEPLOY PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSOR STOPPED WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAD THE MODULE REPLACED BY A GM DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY COMPLETE COST. ONE YEAR LATER THE NEW MODULE BROKE ONCE AGAIN AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS NOT WORKING MEANING THAT IF A PERSON IS IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TO HAPPEN AND WILL MOST LIKELY INCREASE THE CHANCES OF A DEATH BECAUSE OF FAULTY PARTS BY GM. *TR

ALTHOUGH I RARELY HAVE PASSENGERS, FOR SOME ODD REASON, MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT RANDOMLY WENT ON. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR CAUSES/SOLUTIONS, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THESE TYPES OF CARS. THERE'S EVEN A MOVEMENT WITH SKY AND SOLSTICE OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE TO COM HERE AND FILE THIS FORM (WHICH IS HOW I FOUND IT). THIS ISSUE WOULDN'T BE SO INTOLERABLE, IF THE SOLUTION WASN'T SO EXPENSIVE (OVER $1000 FOR A SENSOR/MODULE REPAIR - $356.43 FOR PARTS AND A WHOPPING $647.50 IN LABOR). THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND I HOPE THIS FORM IS PART OF THE SOLUTION. THANK YOU! *TR

MY GRANDDAUGHTER ENTERED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY SATURN SKY WITH HER KNEES FIRST ON THE SEAT AND THE AIR BAG WARNING IS NOW LIT. I SEE ON LINE HUNDREDS OF THESE SAME COMPLAINTS AND YET NO RECALLS. MORE OFF OUR GOVERNMENT NOT PROTECTING ITS CITIZENS. *TR

THE RECENT RECALL ON IGNITION SWITCHES FOR GM VEHICLES IS GREAT HOWEVER THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GM CARS THAT HAVE AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM AFFECTING THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG BESIDE THE IGNITION SWITCH. THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES HAVE AN INFERIOR PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR THAT GOES OUT AND WILL NOT DEPLOY THE AIR BAG FOR THE PASSENGER OF THE CAR. GM IS KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THIS AND REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE OWNERS. CARS AFFECTED ARE THE SATURN SKY, PONTIAC SOLSTICE, PONTIAC G6, CHEVROLET MALIBU AND SOME MODEL CORVETTES. THE ITEM COSTS CONSUMERS 1000.00 TO FIX AND IT IS POSSIBLE IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN IN MONTHS AFTER REPLACED. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS HAVE HAD MY SATURN SKY TESTED AND IT IS IDENTIFIED AS THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. THE FEDS NEED TO GET GM TO BE MORE HONEST AND INCLUDE THIS ITEM AS A SAFETY RECALL AS WELL. IT APPEARS THAT SINCE NO PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN KILLED THAT IT IS NOT A CONCERN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS WELL. *TR

FRONT IMPACT COLLISION, NO AIR BAG DEPLOY CAR FIXED, 3 MONTHS LATER DURING ODD RAIN AND FOG OF DECEMBER IN LOS ANGELES, DROVE OFF EMBANKMENT, HIT SIDE, CRACKED RIM IN HALF, TOOK OFF OIL PAN, FRONT END DAMAGE, AGAIN NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT....WHAT DOES NEED TO HAPPEN TO MY DAUGHTER DRIVING IN ORDER TO KNOW SHE IS SAFE AND AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY...A NEWER, SAFER CAR??? *TR

RIDING ALONG AND CAR DIED COULDN'T TURN KEY OR WHEEL HAD TO FLATBED NOW MY CAR WORN OPEN LOCKS WITH KEY OR MANUALLY SOMETIMES TURN KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENS THEN TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTS AFRAID TO LOCK IT CHANGED BATTERY IN KEY AND STILL WON'T REMOTER. *TR

THE AIRBAG FOR THE PASSENGER NO LONGER ACTIVATES, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF SKY OWNERS. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT ON. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE SENSOR PROBLEM IN THE SEAT. ACCORDING TO MANY POSTS ON THE INTERNET, THIS A VERY PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN SKY AND THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE. *TR WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? IT CERTAINLY IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE PASSENGER. *TR

PASSENGER SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON. THIS CAR RARELY HAS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND THE CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 50,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE SEAT SENSOR REPAIRED OUT OF MY OWN POCKET EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS (AND OTHERS USING THE SAME SENSOR) AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR OR REIMBURSEMENT. GM IS APPARENTLY TURNING A DEAF EAR TO THE COMPLAINTS WITH REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY BECAUSE THE SYSTEM FAILED. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I THINK GM SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I WENT INTO A PARKING LOT AND OVER A SPEED BUMP WITH A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. AS SOON AS WE WENT OVER THE SPEED BUMP THE LIGHT ON MY DASH THAT SHOWS AN AIRBAG BEING DEPLOYED LIT UP. NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS BAD. SINCE THIS IS A "SMART" AIRBAG SYSTEM THE MODULE HAS TO BE CHANGED AND CALIBRATED AT THE DEALER. THIS WAS ONE OF A VERY FEW TIME I'VE HAD A PASSENGER IN MY CAR AND SEEMS BEYOND COMPREHENSION THAT THIS SENSOR WOULD BREAK WITH SUCH LIMITED USE AND COST $1000 TO REPLACE. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH MY RESEARCH THAT MANY THOUSANDS OF GM PRODUCTS ARE HAVING VERY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH VERY SIMILAR COST TO REPAIR. SURE SEEMS LIKE GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT HAS FOUND THAT IT'S MORE PROFITABLE TO KEEP REPLACING THEM AT THE OWNERS COST! *TR

I HAD MY 2007 SATURN SKY INSPECTED, AND THE CHECK AIR BAG SENSOR CAME ON. THE VEHICLE HAS 17, 000 MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. IT LIVES IN A GARAGE. *TR

2007 SATURN SKY REDLINE SITTING AT AN IDLE PASSENGER SAT DOWN IN THE SEAT AND SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, DIC SHOWED "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM", PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWED OFF. UPON TAKING TO DEALER PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) SENSOR FAILED. THE SENSOR FAILED DO TO THE FLEXING OF THE SENSOR AS PASSENGERS GOT IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE NOT FROM NEGLECT BY THE OWNER. THE TOTAL IS $1125.00 WITH PART SHIPPING INSTALL AND ZEROING OF NEW THE SENSOR. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE, THERE HAS BEEN REPORTS OF THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS FAILING IN AS LITTLE AS A YEAR. WHEN THIS PART FAILS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN THE POTENTIAL INJURY OF THE PASSENGER DURING A CRASH. WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF THIS PROBLEM IT AN OBVIOUS DEFECT OF THE PART THE ONLY WAY AN OWNER CAN STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING IS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT TO AVOID FLEXING OF THE SENSOR. THE PRICE FOR THE REPAIR, THE POTENTIAL INJURY AND HOW OFTEN THIS IS HAPPENING, I BELIEVE IS A VALID REASON FOR A SAFETY RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR BY THE MANUFACTURER OR DEALER. *TR

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS FAILED IN MY CAR. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A CONDITION IN WHICH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS PERMANENTLY DISABLED, A POTENTIAL LARGE SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE CARS, AND THERE IS NO OUTSTANDING RECALL TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD TODAY THAT ARE OPERATING WITHOUT A FUNCTIONAL PASSENGER AIR BAG, PUTTING PASSENGERS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RISK FOR INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. GIVEN THE PREVALENCE OF THIS ISSUE, ITS SEVERITY, AND THE COST TO REPAIR, I FEEL AS THOUGH A SAFETY RECALL IS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THESE MODELS. *TR

NOTHING HAPPEN NOT SURE WHY THE LIGHT IS ON. MY DAUGHTER HAS NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS COMMON IN SKY AND SOLSTICE VEHICLES. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE REPAIRED, THEY FAIL AGAIN. $800 REPAIR ... SO MY PASSENGER IS TRAVELING WITH NO AIRBAG AT ALL TIMES. *TR

THE AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR IN MY VEHICLE FAILED AND ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR FACES RISK IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OWNER'S COST TO FIX THIS ITEM IS PROHIBITIVE ($700 - $1000), AND THAT THE EARLY FAILURE OF THIS PART IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. I THINK BECAUSE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IT IS A PROBLEM AND MAY CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET REALLY HURT. LEFT DEFECTIVE COULD BE REALLY SERIOUS TO A PASSENGER. *TR

MY SATURN SKY'S PASSENGER AIR BAG "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A MONTH NOW, AND I ASSUME THERE IS NO PROTECTION FROM IT. I RESEARCHED ON LINE ABOUT IT AND IT SEEMS EVERY CAR HAS THIS ISSUE EVENTUALLY. I KNOW SATURN NO LONGER EXISTS, BUT GM SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THEM AND GET THEM FIXED. THIS IS SERIOUS ISSUE AND A $750-$1000 REPAIR THAT MOST CAN'T AFFORD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION, THE AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,500. UPDATED 12/04/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER COVERED 30% OF THE REPAIR BILL. THE CONSUMER FOUND OTHER REPORTS OF AIRBAG FAILURE ON THE INTERNET. UPDATED 12/5/2013 *JS

EVERYTIME I START MY VEHICLE I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES ON THE CONTROL PANEL. SERVICE AIRBAG, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ESC OFF/DISABLED. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS ON THE VEHICLE BUT LACK OF ESC MAKES CONTROLLING THE RWD PERFORMANCE VEHICLE DIFFICULT, IN ADDITION THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE IS FURTHER REASON FOR CONCERN.

THE WIRING FOR THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR MELTED AT THE CONNECTION TO THE RESISTOR PACK THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR SPEED. YOU COULD SMELL MELTING PLASTIC. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT START THE WIRING HARNESS ON FIRE AS THE FUSE FOR THE CIRCUIT DID NOT OPEN. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWS THIS IS BE A KNOWN PROBLEM ON HUMMER H3, SATURN SKY, AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE VEHICLE ALSO AS THEY SHARE THE SAME PARTS IN MODEL YEARS 2006 - 2010. HTTP://PARTS.NALLEYGMC.COM/PRODUCTS/HUMMER/2010/H3/HARNESS-CHASSISENGINE-WIRING-HARNESS/3041298/25867517.HTML THIS PROBLEM IS SO WELL KNOWN, AND WIDESPREAD PEOPLE HAVE DEVISED THERE OWN FIX FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR (PPS) IN MY VEHICLE FAILED ONLY 12 MOS AFTER ITS 'BUMPER-TO-BUMPER' WARRANTY EXPIRED. ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR FACES ADDED RISK IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OWNER'S COST TO FIX THIS ITEM IS PROHIBITIVE ($700 - $1000), AND THAT THE EARLY FAILURE OF THIS PART IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AIRBAG MODULE FAILED AFTER JUST 36K MILES. THIS IS A COMMON AND WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN A RECALL. *LN
