2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

MY CAR DISPLAYS "SERVICE AIR BAG" EVERY TIME I START MY CAR. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SAYS "OFF" WHETHER THERE IS ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DO NOT WARRANTY THIS PART. IT ANNOYS ME EVERY TIME I START MY CAR! PLEASE RECALL AIRBAG SENSORS!!! *TR

AFTER I PARKED MY SATURN SKY IN MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW'S DRIVEWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, MY SON-IN-LAW AND I HEARD A LOUD "POP" FROM MY SATURN SKY. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, MY SATURN SKY DRIFTED BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY (SLIGHT DOWNHILL DIRECTION) AND INTO THE STREET. MY SON-IN-LAW RAN AFTER THE CAR AND CAUGHT UP TO IT JUST AS STOPPED DRIFTING BACKWARDS UPHILL IN THE STREET AND BEGAN DRIFTING FORWARD IN A DOWNHILL DIRECTION. HE WAS ABLE TO REACH INTO THE CAR (THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS DOWN) AND SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHILE DOING SO, THE CAR RAN OVER HIS FOOT INJURING HIS TOE. THANK GOD THERE WERE NO CHILDREN PLAYING IN THE DRIVEWAY! THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS INITIALLY SET SINCE THE DRIVEWAY DOES HAVE A SLIGHT SLOPE TOWARDS THE STREET, BUT AFTER COOLING DOWN FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASED. *TR

THE LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL FAILED ON MY 2007 SATURN SKY. THE FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT CAUSED THE CAR TO SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY FISHTAIL WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR SUBSEQUENTLY SMASHED INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN, THEN BOUNCED INTO THE ADJACENT LANE WHERE IT COLLIDED WITH A LARGE SUV. THE SUV ROLLED OVER MY HOOD AND FLIPPED OVER ON ITS TOP. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN THE SUV BEING TOTALED AND SEVERE FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THE FAILURE IN THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS FIRST DETECTED BY THE BODY REPAIR TECHNICIAN AND LATER VERIFIED BY A QUALIFIED GM DEALER. IT IS NOW BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. CONDITION: WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND CLEAR. NO OIL OR WATER ON THE ROADWAY. SAFETY RECALL NHTSA 07V589000, POWER TRAIN AXLE ASSEMBLY AXLE SHAFT SEAL, WAS PERFORMED APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS EARLIER.

AIR BAG SENSOR FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG IS FAULTY AFTER ~5K MILES OF SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT. NUMEROUS OTHER SATURN SKY OWNERS, ESPECIALLY 2007 OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2007 SATURN SKY AND HAVE FOR 31/2 YEARS IN THAT TIME THERE HASNT BEEN ANYBODY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT MAYBE A TOTAL OF 4 MONTHS. MY PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS ALREADY GONE BAD AND I KNOW ON THE SKYROADSTER AND THE SOLLSTICE FORUMS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL MORE. THE SENSOR I THINK IS MADE BY NIPPONDENSO AND INSTALLED ON THE 2006-2009 SKY/SOLSTICE'S I DONT EXPECT GM TO SPEND A TON OF MONEY REPLACING THEM BUT THEY COULD AT LEAST COME UP WITH A MOD SO THE AIRBAG IS ON ALL THE TIME OR GO AFTER NIPPONDENSO FOR A INFERIOR PRODUCT. I REALLY THINK THEY SHOULD LAST LONGER THEN A FEW MONTHS AND WANT GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! THANK YOU [XXX] EMAIL [XXX] CELL [XXX].

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT SAYS OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.

2007 SATURN SKY TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH WITH TRAFFIC SOUTH ON RT2 IN EDGEWATER MD IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A 6 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. A 2007 KIA TRAVELING EAST ACROSS THE 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC FAILED TO STOP FOR STOP SIGN. SKY HIT KIA HEAD ON IN TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE KIA CENTERED ON THE PILLAR BETWEEN THE FRONT AND BACK DOORS. AIR BAGS IN THE 2007 SKY FAILED TO DEPLOY. *TR

SINCE SEPTEMBER THE DEALER SATURN OF UNION, NJ HAS BEEN TRYING TO REPAIR MY CONVERTIBLE TOP ON MY CAR. THE TOP DOES NOT LOCK IN CORRECTLY, THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS REPLACEMENTS ON THE 2007 SATURN SKY TOPS FOR DEFECTS, SO MANY THAT SATURN HAS PUT A RESTRAINT ON THE DEALERS REPLACING TOPS. MY CAR HAS BEEN THERE 6 TIMES TIME AND STILL IT IS NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE A CASE WITH SATURN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND YET STILL NO REPAIR, THE TOP NOT LOCKING IN CORRECTLY IS DANGEROUS AN I AM AFRAID OF THE TOP BREAKING FREE WHILE DRIVING. IF A CORPORATION STOPS REPLACEMENT DUE TO MANY REPLACEMENTS SOMETHING IS WRONG, THEY KNOW THE TYPE TWO ROOFS ARE MUCH BETTER AND SAFER YET THEY ARE NOW RELUCTANT TO REPLACE THEM. *TR
