I STARTED MY 2008 SATURN SKY AND WHILE BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE I ALMOST HIT THE GARAGE BECAUSE THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO POWER ASSIST ON THE BRAKES UPON STARTUP. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE SI A TSB OUT ON THIS FOR CARS SITTING EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THIS CAR ONLY SITS OVERNIGHT AT MOST. THIS IS NOT A ONE OFF EVENT. IF MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING THE CAR THEY WOULD DEFIANTLY HIT SOMETHING BECAUSE OF THEIR INABILITY TO APPLY ENOUGH PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE THIS COULD EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT .

WITH THE VEHICLE (2008 SATURN SKY) IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, THE "AIRBAG SERVICE" WARNING APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY / READOUT. TOOK THE SKY TO A GMC DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE FAILED. APPROX $950 TO FIX. IF NOT FIXED, THE AIRBAG WONT DIPLOY.
