2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

MY EMERGENCY BRAKE IS NOT WORKING. THE BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE SHOES ARE FINE. ALSO CHECKED THE BRAKE CABLE AND IT IS FINE. *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.

AS SO MANY OTHER SKY AND SOLSTICE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS FAILED RENDERING THE RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG INOPERABLE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH THIS IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT GOING BACK TO THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE. VERY LITTLE USE OF MY SEAT HAS MADE MY CAR UNSAFE FOR PASSENGERS OBVIOUSLY FROM A DEFECT. GM HAS BEEN OF NO HELP TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE OTHER THAN A CHARGE OF A $1000.00 TO REPLACE IT. A RECALL IS REQUIRED HERE. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE IGNITION KEY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND ASKED THEM TO DIAGNOSE IT. THEY CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS CRUCIAL TO GET IT FIXED AND IF I EVER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. QUOTED ME $850 TO GET IT FIXED! TOLD THEM I COULDN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT RIGHT NOW. ITS BEEN 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD. I USE MY HUSBANDS TRUCK TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL. I WONT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IN FEAR OF CRASHING WITH NO AIRBAG. NOT GOOD GM. PLEASE RECALL THIS SO NO ONE GETS HURT! I'VE NEVER HEARD OF AIRBAGS GOING SO QUICKLY (IF AT ALL) IN A VEHICLE. FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT CONTINUES TO BE IGNORED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

2007 SATURN SKY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALLED IGNITION SWITCH AND IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER, REPLACEMENT PARTS BEING UNAVAILABLE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED FOUR MONTHS, WAS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT. *JB

WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG WITH MY WIFE AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND RIGHT AFTER, NOTICED THAT MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH.

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

TOOK MY 2007 SATURN SKY ( WITHIN WARRANTY) TO SATURN DEALER IN OCTOBER 2008 FOR SERVICE ON DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD SEVERAL OF THEIR PEOPLE SIT IN THE SEAT AND COULD NOT FIND A DEFECT (SO THEY SAID). THEY DID NOT PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC ! TODAY I TOOK THE SAME VEHICLE (NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, OF COURSE) TO CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR IGNITION (RECALL) AND ASKED THEM TO ALSO LOOK AT PASSENGER AIRBAG. LO AND BEHOLD THEY FOUND A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG MODULE, AND IT WILL COST ME $800 TO REPLACE! IMAGINE THAT! THANKS GM! I AM JOINING IN WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER SATURN SKY OWNERS AND ASKING: WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON THE SATURN SKY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG MODULE????!! *TR

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
