2007 SATURN SKY Complaints

PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE IS LOOSE OR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY DURING OR NOT WHEN THERE'S AN ACCIDENT! WARNING LIGHT COMES ON TO CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE. HAD ESTIMATES TO COST ME OVER $1000 THE CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND WASN'T EVER WRECKED! IT JUST STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT A CAUSE. IT'S 10 YEARS OLD, GARAGE KEPT AND ONLY HAS 43,200 MILES ON IT. I HAD 3 RECALLS ALREADY ON THE REAR MAIN SEAL AND TWICE ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WHERE IT WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING ALMOST CAUSING A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT GETTING OFF RAMP ONTO I-80 TRACTOR TRAILER JUST MISSED ME!

MY 2007 SATURN SKY WITH 81,000 MILES ON IT DISPLAYED "SERVICE AIR BAG", TOOK IT TO GM DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) FAULT AND SAID THE COST FOR REPAIR WOULD BE $1000+. I PAID THEM THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TIME ($105) AND ELECTED TO REPAIR MYSELF. REMOVAL OF PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM COVER INDICATED A BREAK IN THE FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT PAD WHICH DETECTS PASSENGER PRESENCE. COST FOR REPLACEMENT SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY (INCLUDES PPS) FROM GM IS OVER $400 BUT STILL CHEAPER THAN PAYING DEALER FOR THIS WORK. THIS IS DISCUSSED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SKY & SOLSTICE AND GM RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON OTHER VEHICLES HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES (IE: CADILLAC CTS) BUT GM REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE SKY OR SOLSTICE. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE WITH KNOWN FLAWS IN IT (PLASTIC RIBBON CABLES CANNOT WITHSTAND REPEATED FORCE APPLICATIONS FOREVER). I UNDERSTAND MOST PEOPLE ELECT TO JUST CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE, DUE TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH COST OF REPAIRS, WHICH LEAVES AN ADULT PASSENGER UNPROTECTED DURING A CRASH WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT (PPS DEACTIVATES PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IF CHILD IS PRESENT. GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS OR PROVIDE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS SAFETY CRITICAL ITEM. *TR

PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE WENT BAD. TRIPS THE AIR BAG SENSOR TO GO OFF AND CAN ONLY BE RESET BY DEALER. AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT IN AN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE FOR YEARS.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON ON CAR,L OCCURRED ONE DAY RANDOMLY TURNING ON CAR, LOOKED AROUND ONLINE AND TURNS OUT IT IS A VERY VERY COMMON ISSUE. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE PASSENGER AIRBAG STAYS PERMANENTLY OFF. IN ORDER TO REPAIR HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE BOTTOM SEAT.

FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR, WILL NOT PASS VA STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. I HAVE GOTTEN NUMEROUS TICKETS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. NEED A RECALL TODAY!!!!!! THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. WHILE TURNING, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

VEHICLE HAS STANDARD TRANSMISSION. SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME ON DURING TRIP WITH PASSENGER IN PASSENGER SEAT. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000 MILES. ABLE TO EXTINGUISH WARNING LIGHT BUT RETURNS EVERY TIME IGNITION TURNED ON. PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR WILL NOT ENGAGE.

2007 SATURN SKY REDLINE AT ABOUT 20000 MILES SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 50MPH. LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHETHER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED OR NOT. NOW SEEMS TO STAY ON CONTINUALLY.

PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS SHOWS PASGR PRESENCE MODULE INVALID DATA, GM DEALER SAYS THEY WILL REPLACE ONLY IF I PAY ABOUT $900. I INVESTIGATED AND FOUND NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP16001 MAY 16 2016. I WANT TO ADD MY VEHICLE INTO THIS CLAIM. THIS IS A SEVERE ISSUE JUST BECAUSE NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED DOESN'T LESSEN THE IMPORTANCE THIS COULD BE HANDLED BY GM BY VOLUNTEERING TO REPLACE AND REPAIR WHEN A VEHICLE COMES TO THEIR SERVICE CENTER FOR THE DEFECT

I PURCHASED A USED SATURN SKY 2007 VEHICLE. JULY 26TH 2016. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THE SAME DAY AS A MATTER OF FACT A NOISE FROM THE BACK END. I TOOK CARE BACK A AND THEY PUT GREASE IN DIFERENTIAL.. BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS IT WAS WORSE THAN EVER. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. AFTER THEY TRIED LOOKING AT MY CAR. I CALLED MY WARRANTY COMPANY AND ASK IF THEY COULD RECOMMEND A SERVICE CENTER TO TAKE MY CAR TO HAVE IT SERVICED. WHICH I THEN PROCEEDED TO DO. AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL THERE. THEY SENT A USED DIFERENTIAL THAT WAS BAD. I ASKED THE WARRANTY REPRESENTATIVE AT THAT TIME TO SEND ME A NEW ONE WHICH MY CONTRACT STATES CLEARLY I CAN HAVE. BUT ONCE AGAIN THEY SENT ANOTHER BAD USED ONE. AND THEN ANOTHER. ALONG WITH TWO OTHERS THAT WERE NEVER DELIVERED. AND I'VE BEEN OFFERED A RENTAL FOR 8 DAYS TOTAL. AND IT IS NOW OCT 18TH.2016. I HAVE NO CAR. GM HAS THIS PART NOW ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. AND DOES NOT KNOW WHEN A PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT DIFFERENT MACHINE SHOPS TO SEE IF IT CAN BE REBUILT THEY HAVE TRIED TO FIND PARTS TO REBUILD IT THERE ARE NONE. I FEEL I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO FIX THIS VEHICLE. AND IT'S A LEMON.
