2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS UP ON MY DASH AND MY PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG INDICATOR DOES NOT LIGHT. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AS SOON AS I TURN THE KEY ON AND WILL NOT CLEAR. THIS HAPPENS AS SOON AS THE KEY IS TURNED ON. I HAVE SEEN IT DISAPPEAR AND THE REAPPEAR WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A VERY LARGE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. PLEASE HELP....ALSO, DOES THIS CAR HAVE AIRBAGS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH ALL OF THE AIRBAG PROBLEMS OF LATE?

THESE CARS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR, WHICH TURNS ON AND OFF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. WHILE GM DID ISSUE A RECALL ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE PARTS USED WERE A SIMPLE "BAND-AID" FIX. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AND HAS DONE 5000 MILES SINCE, AND THE "REPAIRED" PART HAS FAILED AGAIN. GM IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS UNDER RECALL AND/OR WARRANTY AND THE COST TO FIX THIS IS $1000! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED, OR THE RECALL SHOULD BE ACTIVE ONCE AGAIN! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE OWNERS AS WELL.

THE SATURN SKYS HAVE THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE HUMMERS DID THAT WERE RECALLED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: XXXXXXXXX. THE RESISTOR ON THE BLOWER MOTOR GETS HOT AND MELTS. FURTHER, THEY ARE THE SAME PARTS.*DT ALSO, IT IS KNOWN AND CONTINUALLY DISCUSSED ONLINE: HTTPS://WWW.SKYROADSTER.COM/FORUMS/F2/FAN-BLOWER-RESISTOR-REPLACEMENT-95885/ HTTPS://WWW.SKYROADSTER.COM/FORUMS/F2/WHY-DID-MY-BLOWER-MOTOR-RESISTOR-WIREING-HARNAS-HOT-WIRE-BURN-OFF-41356/ *TR HTTPS://GRASSROOTSMOTORSPORTS.COM/ARTICLES/BUYERS-GUIDE-OTHER-ROADSTER/ CONSUMER STATED IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE CONNECTOR MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR SPEED FOR THE HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MAY OVERHEAT. IF THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR MODULE OVERHEATS, IT CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A FIRE.*JB*JB CAMPAIGN NUMBER: (XXX) ('PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).')*JB

KNOWN ISSUE AND RECALL WITH HUMMER H3 AND REPORTED ISSUE WITH SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE. 2007 SATURN SKY REDLINE PRESENTED WITH HVAC BLOWER FAILURE. UPON INSPECTION AN OVERHEATED, MELTED AND BLACKENED WIRING HARNESS DETECTOR WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. RESEARCH CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS CONNECTOR. GM HAS REPLACED THE PART WITH PART NUMBER 25949869. A RECALL FOR THE SATURN SKY OR PONTIAC SOLSTICE HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.

AIR BAGS NOT WORKING,TAKED FOR REPAIR,TO DEALER,REPAIRS NEVER DONE,NO PARTS.AFTER A MONTH IN DEALER I TAKED BACK.

THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR A FAULTY SWITCH UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT WAS TO TELL THE AIR BAG A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. I COMPLETED THE RECALL AT GENILLINI MOTORS IN WOODBINE, NJ IN APRIL OF 2018. THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH HAS FAILED (6/2019). THE SYSTEM, AGAIN, NO LONGER DETECTS A PASSENGER AND I SUSPECT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS CAR HAS HAD LESS 1000 MILES OF USE SINCE THE REPAIR AND THERE IS RARELY A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. BOTH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DETECTION LIGHT AND THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. BOTH USUALLY ARE ON WHEN THE CAR STARTS BUT SOMETIME GOES OFF WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE CAR IS MOVING. I CONTACTED GM AND GOT NO WHERE WITH THEM. I'VE ALSO RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON SATURN SKY BLOGS AND CAR REVIEWS, INCLUDING GMS WEBSITE. ATTACH IS A SCREEN SHOT OF MY CHAT WITH GM
