2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

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

AIR BAG SENSOR ARE MALFUNCTIONING ON THIS MODEL CAR AND ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY GM. IF AIR BAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY DURING A CRASH PASSENGERS COULD BY FATALLY INJURED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 05/28/14*LJ UPDATED 05/30/2014 *JS

IN MARCH 2011 PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR FAILED. NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. $700.00 TO REPLACE. NOW, MARCH 2014: MILEAGE 44,000. AGAIN NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. AIRBAG SENSOR AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE FAILURE. IT WILL BE $821.00 TO REPLACE. *TR

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

AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSOR STOPPED WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAD THE MODULE REPLACED BY A GM DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY COMPLETE COST. ONE YEAR LATER THE NEW MODULE BROKE ONCE AGAIN AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS NOT WORKING MEANING THAT IF A PERSON IS IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TO HAPPEN AND WILL MOST LIKELY INCREASE THE CHANCES OF A DEATH BECAUSE OF FAULTY PARTS BY GM. *TR

ALTHOUGH I RARELY HAVE PASSENGERS, FOR SOME ODD REASON, MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT RANDOMLY WENT ON. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR CAUSES/SOLUTIONS, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THESE TYPES OF CARS. THERE'S EVEN A MOVEMENT WITH SKY AND SOLSTICE OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE TO COM HERE AND FILE THIS FORM (WHICH IS HOW I FOUND IT). THIS ISSUE WOULDN'T BE SO INTOLERABLE, IF THE SOLUTION WASN'T SO EXPENSIVE (OVER $1000 FOR A SENSOR/MODULE REPAIR - $356.43 FOR PARTS AND A WHOPPING $647.50 IN LABOR). THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND I HOPE THIS FORM IS PART OF THE SOLUTION. THANK YOU! *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

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

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
