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

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

FOR 7 MONTHS THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAS BEEN ON. I CALLED ONSTAR TO TEST THE CAR AND THEY SAID TO TO TAKE THE CAR IN IMMEDIATELY. I SPENT $1000.00 REPAIRING THE AIR BAG. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER SATURN SKY OWNERS. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V047000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,500.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65 MPH. I HYDROPLANED OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT THE WALL HEAD ON. AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. MY FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, BUSTING MY LIP AND GIVING ME A BLACK EYE, BUT I MADE IT OUT ALIVE. *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

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

I STARTED THE CAR AND THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME UP IN THE MESSAGE CENTER ON THE DASH. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT ON EVEN WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE PASSENGER TO BE IN. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM FOR SATURN SKYS AND PONTIAC SOLSTICES. THERE ARE MANY, MANY INCIDENCES OF THIS PROBLEM. THE COST OF REPAIR IS EXTREMELY HIGH AND THE DEALERSHIP WE TOOK IT TO SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS PART. THIS DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL THE OWNERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS. *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

PASSANGER SEAT AIRBAG FAILURE. *TR

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 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 PRESENCE MODULE-SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING IS ACTIVATED AND COMES ON PERIODICALLY 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 GM IS AWARE OF AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER MODEL CARS EXCEPT FOR THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND ONE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY RECALL. *TR

RECEIVED A "SERVICE AIR BAG" CODE ON MY DIC OUTPUT. CONTACTED MY LOCAL SERVICE CENTER AND VERIFIED THAT THERE WERE NO SAFETY RECALLS FOR THE FAILED PASSENGER PRESENT SYSTEM MODULE ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. PERFORMED LOTS OF RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY PREVALENT AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH VIRTUALLY ALL MODELS AND YEARS OF THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND SATURN SKY. I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED TO ALSO DISCOVER THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE PART NOT DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF A PASSENGER. *TR

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

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

PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE IS LOOSE OR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY DURING OR NOT WHEN THERE'S AN ACCIDENT! WARNING LIGHT COMES ON TO CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE. HAD ESTIMATES TO COST ME OVER $1000 THE CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND WASN'T EVER WRECKED! IT JUST STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT A CAUSE. IT'S 10 YEARS OLD, GARAGE KEPT AND ONLY HAS 43,200 MILES ON IT. I HAD 3 RECALLS ALREADY ON THE REAR MAIN SEAL AND TWICE ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WHERE IT WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING ALMOST CAUSING A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT GETTING OFF RAMP ONTO I-80 TRACTOR TRAILER JUST MISSED ME!

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

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

THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR HAS FAILED AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT KNOW IF SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. DURING AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AND DISAPPEARED WHILE AT A RED LIGHT IN A PERIOD OF ABOUT ~1 MINUTE. AFTER PASSENGER SAT IN THE CAR, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AND OFF AGAIN. PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR AT THE TIME WHEN ALERT CAME ON WAS NOTED AS OFF STATE, ALL OTHER TIME WHEN PASSENGER IS PRESENT, INDICATOR IS NOTED AS ON STATE. AFTER DRIVING A WHILE ~20MINUTES, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS TIME IT STAYED ON, PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR IS IN OFF STATE. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR/ENGINE. WARNING LIGHT DISAPPEARED HOWEVER, AFTER SHORT MINUTES IT CAME BACK ON, AND NOW THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER 3 DAYS. PASSENGER IN OR NOT, INDICATOR IS IN OFF STATE. AFTER VIEWING FORUMS AND POSTS ABOUT RECURRING PROBLEM EFFECTED BY SIMILAR CARS SUCH AS THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE, PONTIAC SOLSTICE GPX, AND SATURN SKY, PLEASE TAKE CONSIDERATION IN LOOKING INTO OUR AIR BAG SYSTEM. THANK YOU! *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 SENSOR IN MY VEHICLE FAILED SHORTLY 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 ($500 - $800), AND THAT THE EARLY FAILURE OF THIS PART IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I DELIVERED THE VEHICLE TO BILL FOX CHEVY FOR SERVICING AS DIRECTED BY GM (SATURN) CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE NUMBER [XXX] FOR GRINDING NOISE AND FLUID LEAKING ON THE 2007 SATURN SKY (21433 MILES). THERE WAS A RECALL ( 07V58900) FOR A FAULTY SEAL ON THIS MODELS DIFFERENTIAL UNIT. IT SHOWED THE RECALL WAS HANDLED ON APRIL 29,2008 BY LAKESIDE OF SATURN WHICH I DID NOT RECALL. AFTER INVESTIGATION BY THE DEALER IT WAS AGREED THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS GRINDING AND THE LEFT DIFFERENTIAL/AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING FLUID. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE AND HAD TO PAY $ 455.63 FOR THE REPAIRS ON THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGNED PART. GM DENIED MY REQUEST FOR COVERING THIS UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE ONLY DRIVEN IN THE SUMMER. SHE DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I DROVE IT AND NOTICED RIGHT AWAY AND FOUND THE RECALL AND CONTACTED GM(SATURN) CS. I STOPPED MY WIFE FROM DRIVING BECAUSE THE RECALL STATED THE DIFFERENTIAL COULD LOCKUP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO I HAD A 100K WARRANTY ON THE DRIVETRAIN WHICH THEY SAID HIT 5 YRS IN AUGUST 2012. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS RECALL ON THE TOTAL DIFFERENTIAL EXT/INT PARTS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAG SENSOR LOCATED IN PASSENGER SEAT, GM PART #19124219 WAS DEFECTIVE AND DISABLED AIR BAGS. THIS PART IS ROUTINELY DEFECTIVE IN THE KAPPA-MODEL ROADSTERS, SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE.

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

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON ON CAR,L OCCURRED ONE DAY RANDOMLY TURNING ON CAR, LOOKED AROUND ONLINE AND TURNS OUT IT IS A VERY VERY COMMON ISSUE. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE PASSENGER AIRBAG STAYS PERMANENTLY OFF. IN ORDER TO REPAIR HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE BOTTOM SEAT.

5/14/12 46222 MILES VEHICLE INDICATED A "SERVICE AIR BAG" WARNING - TOOK VEHICLE TO COVERT BUICK DEALERSHIP SERVICE FOR DIAGNOSIS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PASSENGER PRESENT MODULE WAS FAULTY AND IT WAS REPLACED. 2/10/15 84300 MILES VEHICLE IS AGAIN SHOWING "SERVICE AIR BAG" WARNING. AGAIN PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER PRESENT MODULE. IT WAS CONVEYED THAT IF THIS MODULE IS NOT IN WORKING ORDER THE PASSENGER AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS MODULE IS POORLY MADE TO HAVE ANOTHER FAILURE IN LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. THE PASSENGER SEAT ON THIS CAR IS USED VERY INFREQUENTLY, NO SPILLS OF ANY KIND. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS PART. GM SHOULD TAKE ACTION TO AVOID INJURY OR FATALITY AT THEIR HANDS. THANK YOU *TR
