2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

DRIVING 35 MILES AN HOUR I NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON DASH, WHEN I TOOK CAR TO GM DEALER THEY SAID IT WOULD COST 900 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. *TR

FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR FOR THE SATURN SKY AIRBAG. VERY COMMON FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE (SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE). DESIGN / ENGINEERING / MANUFACTURING ERROR. FAILURE OF THIS SENSOR MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY FOR A PASSENGER IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE BUT GM WILL NOT REPLACE WITH RATIONALIZATION THAT VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

WHEN TAKING MY CAR IN FOR IGNITION RECALL REPAIRS I NOTICED THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT WHEN THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS INSTALLED THE ERROR WOULD CLEAR ITSELF. IT DID NOT, AND WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE GM DEALERSHIP SERVICE DESK THEY DENIED THAT THERE WAS ANY LINKAGE BETWEEN THE AIRBAG OPERATION AND THE IGNITION SWITCH DESPITE THE DESCRIPTION IN THEIR OWN RECALL NOTICE WARNING THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT INFLATE IF THE ORIGINAL SWITCH WAS FAULTY. GM IS ATTEMPTING TO AVOID THE COST OF A NEW AIRBAG MADE INEFFECTIVE BY THEIR OWN FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I WENT TO THE GM DEALER TO HAVE MY CAR MADE SAFE AND WAS DIRECTED TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP WITH AN UNSAFE CAR, WITHOUT A WORKING AIRBAG. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA AND MAKE GM INSURE THAT ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AFTER RECALL REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED! *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR MODULE. WILL NOT PASS VIRGINIA INSPECTION. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. OWNERS OF THIS CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO OUT AND PAY UPWARDS TO $1000.00 TO HAVE THIS FIXED. *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

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.
