2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS COMMON IN SKY AND SOLSTICE VEHICLES. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE REPAIRED, THEY FAIL AGAIN. $800 REPAIR ... SO MY PASSENGER IS TRAVELING WITH NO AIRBAG AT ALL TIMES. *TR

THE AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR IN MY VEHICLE FAILED AND ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR FACES RISK IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OWNER'S COST TO FIX THIS ITEM IS PROHIBITIVE ($700 - $1000), AND THAT THE EARLY FAILURE OF THIS PART IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. I THINK BECAUSE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IT IS A PROBLEM AND MAY CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET REALLY HURT. LEFT DEFECTIVE COULD BE REALLY SERIOUS TO A PASSENGER. *TR

MY SATURN SKY'S PASSENGER AIR BAG "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A MONTH NOW, AND I ASSUME THERE IS NO PROTECTION FROM IT. I RESEARCHED ON LINE ABOUT IT AND IT SEEMS EVERY CAR HAS THIS ISSUE EVENTUALLY. I KNOW SATURN NO LONGER EXISTS, BUT GM SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THEM AND GET THEM FIXED. THIS IS SERIOUS ISSUE AND A $750-$1000 REPAIR THAT MOST CAN'T AFFORD. *TR

EVERYTIME I START MY VEHICLE I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES ON THE CONTROL PANEL. SERVICE AIRBAG, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ESC OFF/DISABLED. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS ON THE VEHICLE BUT LACK OF ESC MAKES CONTROLLING THE RWD PERFORMANCE VEHICLE DIFFICULT, IN ADDITION THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE IS FURTHER REASON FOR CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION, THE AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,500. UPDATED 12/04/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER COVERED 30% OF THE REPAIR BILL. THE CONSUMER FOUND OTHER REPORTS OF AIRBAG FAILURE ON THE INTERNET. UPDATED 12/5/2013 *JS

THE WIRING FOR THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR MELTED AT THE CONNECTION TO THE RESISTOR PACK THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR SPEED. YOU COULD SMELL MELTING PLASTIC. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT START THE WIRING HARNESS ON FIRE AS THE FUSE FOR THE CIRCUIT DID NOT OPEN. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWS THIS IS BE A KNOWN PROBLEM ON HUMMER H3, SATURN SKY, AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE VEHICLE ALSO AS THEY SHARE THE SAME PARTS IN MODEL YEARS 2006 - 2010. HTTP://PARTS.NALLEYGMC.COM/PRODUCTS/HUMMER/2010/H3/HARNESS-CHASSISENGINE-WIRING-HARNESS/3041298/25867517.HTML THIS PROBLEM IS SO WELL KNOWN, AND WIDESPREAD PEOPLE HAVE DEVISED THERE OWN FIX FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR (PPS) IN MY VEHICLE FAILED ONLY 12 MOS AFTER ITS 'BUMPER-TO-BUMPER' WARRANTY EXPIRED. ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR FACES ADDED RISK IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OWNER'S COST TO FIX THIS ITEM IS PROHIBITIVE ($700 - $1000), AND THAT THE EARLY FAILURE OF THIS PART IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AIRBAG MODULE FAILED AFTER JUST 36K MILES. THIS IS A COMMON AND WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN A RECALL. *LN

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65 MPH. I HYDROPLANED OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT THE WALL HEAD ON. AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. MY FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, BUSTING MY LIP AND GIVING ME A BLACK EYE, BUT I MADE IT OUT ALIVE. *TR

THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR HAS FAILED AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT KNOW IF SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. DURING AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. *TR
