2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

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

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

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

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

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
