2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

RIDING ALONG AND CAR DIED COULDN'T TURN KEY OR WHEEL HAD TO FLATBED NOW MY CAR WORN OPEN LOCKS WITH KEY OR MANUALLY SOMETIMES TURN KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENS THEN TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTS AFRAID TO LOCK IT CHANGED BATTERY IN KEY AND STILL WON'T REMOTER. *TR

FRONT IMPACT COLLISION, NO AIR BAG DEPLOY CAR FIXED, 3 MONTHS LATER DURING ODD RAIN AND FOG OF DECEMBER IN LOS ANGELES, DROVE OFF EMBANKMENT, HIT SIDE, CRACKED RIM IN HALF, TOOK OFF OIL PAN, FRONT END DAMAGE, AGAIN NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT....WHAT DOES NEED TO HAPPEN TO MY DAUGHTER DRIVING IN ORDER TO KNOW SHE IS SAFE AND AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY...A NEWER, SAFER CAR??? *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT ON. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE SENSOR PROBLEM IN THE SEAT. ACCORDING TO MANY POSTS ON THE INTERNET, THIS A VERY PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN SKY AND THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE. *TR WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? IT CERTAINLY IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE PASSENGER. *TR

PASSENGER SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON. THIS CAR RARELY HAS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND THE CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 50,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE SEAT SENSOR REPAIRED OUT OF MY OWN POCKET EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS (AND OTHERS USING THE SAME SENSOR) AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR OR REIMBURSEMENT. GM IS APPARENTLY TURNING A DEAF EAR TO THE COMPLAINTS WITH REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY BECAUSE THE SYSTEM FAILED. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I THINK GM SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I WENT INTO A PARKING LOT AND OVER A SPEED BUMP WITH A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. AS SOON AS WE WENT OVER THE SPEED BUMP THE LIGHT ON MY DASH THAT SHOWS AN AIRBAG BEING DEPLOYED LIT UP. NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS BAD. SINCE THIS IS A "SMART" AIRBAG SYSTEM THE MODULE HAS TO BE CHANGED AND CALIBRATED AT THE DEALER. THIS WAS ONE OF A VERY FEW TIME I'VE HAD A PASSENGER IN MY CAR AND SEEMS BEYOND COMPREHENSION THAT THIS SENSOR WOULD BREAK WITH SUCH LIMITED USE AND COST $1000 TO REPLACE. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH MY RESEARCH THAT MANY THOUSANDS OF GM PRODUCTS ARE HAVING VERY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH VERY SIMILAR COST TO REPAIR. SURE SEEMS LIKE GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT HAS FOUND THAT IT'S MORE PROFITABLE TO KEEP REPLACING THEM AT THE OWNERS COST! *TR

I HAD MY 2007 SATURN SKY INSPECTED, AND THE CHECK AIR BAG SENSOR CAME ON. THE VEHICLE HAS 17, 000 MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. IT LIVES IN A GARAGE. *TR

2007 SATURN SKY REDLINE SITTING AT AN IDLE PASSENGER SAT DOWN IN THE SEAT AND SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, DIC SHOWED "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM", PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWED OFF. UPON TAKING TO DEALER PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) SENSOR FAILED. THE SENSOR FAILED DO TO THE FLEXING OF THE SENSOR AS PASSENGERS GOT IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE NOT FROM NEGLECT BY THE OWNER. THE TOTAL IS $1125.00 WITH PART SHIPPING INSTALL AND ZEROING OF NEW THE SENSOR. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE, THERE HAS BEEN REPORTS OF THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS FAILING IN AS LITTLE AS A YEAR. WHEN THIS PART FAILS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN THE POTENTIAL INJURY OF THE PASSENGER DURING A CRASH. WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF THIS PROBLEM IT AN OBVIOUS DEFECT OF THE PART THE ONLY WAY AN OWNER CAN STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING IS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT TO AVOID FLEXING OF THE SENSOR. THE PRICE FOR THE REPAIR, THE POTENTIAL INJURY AND HOW OFTEN THIS IS HAPPENING, I BELIEVE IS A VALID REASON FOR A SAFETY RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR BY THE MANUFACTURER OR DEALER. *TR

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS FAILED IN MY CAR. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A CONDITION IN WHICH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS PERMANENTLY DISABLED, A POTENTIAL LARGE SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE CARS, AND THERE IS NO OUTSTANDING RECALL TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD TODAY THAT ARE OPERATING WITHOUT A FUNCTIONAL PASSENGER AIR BAG, PUTTING PASSENGERS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RISK FOR INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. GIVEN THE PREVALENCE OF THIS ISSUE, ITS SEVERITY, AND THE COST TO REPAIR, I FEEL AS THOUGH A SAFETY RECALL IS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THESE MODELS. *TR

NOTHING HAPPEN NOT SURE WHY THE LIGHT IS ON. MY DAUGHTER HAS NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT. *TR
