2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILED, GIVING AN AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT. NOBODY WAS IN THE SEAT AND IT WAS NOT BEING USED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THIS IS THE SECOND 2007 GM VEHICLE I HAD THAT FAILED AT AROUND THE 40,000 MILE MARK FOR THE SAME PART. THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. I'VE READ ABOUT MANY SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE OWNERS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR AS VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY MONTHS, NOT MILES.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE WARNING LIGHT TO "SERVICE AIRBAGS" I WENT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT IS NOT A RECALL SO FAR. THEY WANTED $110.00 JUST TO CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE LABOR IF NEEDED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL FREE TO OWNERS!!

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE MESSAGE CENTER WARNED OF AIR BAG ERROR. NOTE: MANY SATURN SKY CARS ARE REPORTING THIS FLAW. THIS CAR HAD ONLY 24,500 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED. IT HAS LESS THAN 26,000 MILES ON IT NOW. IS THIS A RECALL? CAN ONSTAR TRIGGER THIS NOTICE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

WHILE DRIVING ...NOTICED AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON.......WOULD NOT GO OFF DURING ANYTIME....TOOK TO DEALERSHIP...THEY INDICATED THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED...THIS IS GOING TOST A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX

YTD 2007 SATURN SKY HAS LOST THE USE OF IT'S EMERGENCY BRAKE. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES NOW. THE CAR ONLY HAS 41000 MILES.

WAS ON INTERSTATE 97 IN MARYLAND DOING AROUND 65 MPH. WHEN I HEARD AND FELT LOUD POP NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE 2007 SATURN SKY AND PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE THE CARS ON THE ROAD WERE FLYING BY ME AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ( THAT I WAS SCARED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR ) DID GET THE CAR HOME AND CONTACTED SATURN ( WHAT A WASTE OF TIME ) TO TRY AND GET SOME TYPE OF HELP ON THE REPAIR. TOOK CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER JBA CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD BLOWN OUT AND THE REPAIR COULD BE BETWEEN $2800-$3500. I HAVE SEEN ON THE WEB SITES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF REAR IN SATURN AND OTHER GM CARS. I'M LUCKY THAT THE REAR DID NOT LOCK UP THIS COULD OF BEEN A BIG PROBLEM. PLEASE PASS THIS ON. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS SATURN AND THE NEXT WEEK THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE HAVE COMPLAINED AND IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SAYING IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I AGREE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO REASON FOR IT TO NEED SERVICED YET. *TR

AIR BAG PASSENGER PRESENT MODULE IN PASSENGER SEAT HAS FAILED GIVING AN ERROR CODE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON SATURN SKYS AS THE FORUMS HAVE SEVERAL REPORTS OF SIMILAR FAILURES. I SEE THAT BMW HAS JUST ISSUED A RECALL FOR THESE SENSORS. THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED. *TR

IN 2009, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF A PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER RESTRAINT LIGHT SOMETIMES REGISTERED "OFF", EVEN WHEN PASSENGER WAS PRESENT. BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. IN 2014, THE FAILURE BECAME EVER-PRESENT, WITH ADDITIONAL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, THE DRIVER INFORMATION SYSTEM, AND AN AUDIBLE WARNING CHIME ON IGNITION START. REPEATED CALLS TO GM HAVE HAD NO RESULTS. THE COMPANY LINE IS THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THE PRODUCT LINE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. THE COST OF REPAIR IS SUBSTANTIAL, APPROACHING $1,000, FOR AN AIRBAG SENSOR MODULE LOCATED BENEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT. ALTHOUGH A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2007 SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE CARS, GM SAYS THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE DESERVING A RECALL. *TR
