TOOK MY 2007 SATURN SKY ( WITHIN WARRANTY) TO SATURN DEALER IN OCTOBER 2008 FOR SERVICE ON DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD SEVERAL OF THEIR PEOPLE SIT IN THE SEAT AND COULD NOT FIND A DEFECT (SO THEY SAID). THEY DID NOT PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC ! TODAY I TOOK THE SAME VEHICLE (NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, OF COURSE) TO CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR IGNITION (RECALL) AND ASKED THEM TO ALSO LOOK AT PASSENGER AIRBAG. LO AND BEHOLD THEY FOUND A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG MODULE, AND IT WILL COST ME $800 TO REPLACE! IMAGINE THAT! THANKS GM! I AM JOINING IN WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER SATURN SKY OWNERS AND ASKING: WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON THE SATURN SKY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG MODULE????!! *TR
