2008 SATURN SKY Complaints

PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SEAT SENSOR FAILED. GM WILL NOT COVER THE $1000 REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THIS IS PART OF THE SAFETY/AIRBAG SYSTEM AND A KNOWN FAILURE WITH MANY VEHICLES. *TR

THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE STARTED TO INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAY. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT IS A FAULTY PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR (PPS), AND THAT GM WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR OR ISSUE A RECALL. *JS

I'M A SINGLE WOMAN, AND HARDLY ANYONE EVER SITS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT. THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT HAS COME ON OUT OF NOWHERE. NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT GOES ON. NOTHING HEAVY (BESIDES A FEW GROCERIES FROM TIME TO TIME) HAS EVER BEEN PUT IN THE SEAT. *TR

THE SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY WIFE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT IT MEANS BUT AFTER VISITING THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER, I KNOW I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME. IF GM CAN ASSURE ME THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY PASSENGER THEN SO BE IT. IF GM CANNOT MAKE THIS ASSURANCE, THEN GM NEEDS TO BE RECALLING AND REPAIRING THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING CAME ON AND NOW THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT FUNCTION. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I FEEL THAT WITH THE LARGE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS OCCURRING WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

IN 2011 MY AIRBAG SERVICE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT NO COST SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. TODAY, OCTOBER 12, 2014, THE AIRBAG SERVICE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 45,000 MILES AND IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND DEFINITELY SOME KIND OF DEFECT. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COST. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER SATURN SKY OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. IN ADDITION, I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR THE IGNITION PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR PARTS TO COME IN. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS AN EXTREME CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO GET IN A WRECK WITH A CHILD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY AND FATALLY INJURE THE YOUNG PASSENGER. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO RECALL ALL SATURN SKY ROADSTERS FROM YEARS 2007-2010 AS ALL MODEL YEARS ARE AFFECTED. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH MANY OTHER VEHICLES AS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH CAN INDICATE. THANK YOU! *TR

TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE LONG DELAY IN GETTING THE IGNITION PART FOR MY VEHICLE . I CONTACTED MY DEALER FAULKNER GMC OF TREVOSE PA BACK IN APRIL THEY ORDERED THE PART AND AS OF THIS E MAIL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PART FROM GM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG . I HAVE KEPT MY DRIVING TO A MINIMUM IN THE VEHICLE BUT A 5 MONTHS DELAY IS INEXCUSABLE AS WELL AS DANGEROUS. *TR

WARNING LIGHT SHOWS AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE SERVICED WITH NO CRASH INCIDENT. DEALER WILL NOT FIX OR RECALL WITHOUT LARGE FEE. I NOTICED LOTS OF OTHER RECALLS FOR SAME PART ON OTHER GM CARS. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON CONTINUOUSLY. DEALER WANTED $900+ TO FIX. THEY CHARGES ME $100+ JUST TO DIAGNOSE IT & TELL ME THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE AIRBAG SENSOR. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A "SAFETY ISSUE" & SHOULD BE FIXED AT THE MFGS EXPENSE. *TR
