SATURN Complaints

PASSENGER SEAT MODULE SENSOR NOT FUNCTIONING (ACCORDING TO WARNING ON DASHBOARD), WHICH IN TURN WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AIR BAGS IN A VEHICLE COLLISION. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT DONE A RECALL ON THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM FOR MOST YEARS OF THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND THE SATURN SKY MODELS. THIS IS AN ONGOING MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM IS AWARE OF. PLEASE FACILITATE A RESPONSE FROM GM TO RECTIFY THIS URGENT SITUATION. *TR

DRIVING TO A DOCTOR APPT AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO USE MY PHONE. PUT CAR IN PARK, ENGINE ON. SAT FOR 5 MIN, THEN PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND ENGINE REVVED AND REVVED BUT DID NOT MOVE BUT A FEW FEET. PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES. UPON RESTART, DROVE JUST FINE FOR ABOUT 20 MILES UNTIL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. WENT IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE TO CODE READ AT A NEARBY AUTO ZONE. GAVE 2 CODES, ONE ABOUT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THE 2ND ABOUT A COMPUTER SELF-REPAIR COMPLETED. NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN. THEN 3/5/14, AT NOW 71,000 MI OR SO, WHILE ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY AND NOW IN THE FAR LEFT LANE, ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, ENGINE REVVED AND CAR WENT MAYBE 25 MPH IF THAT.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY ON A CLEAR DAY. I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE LANE. I THEN DECIDED TO PULL OVER AT THE FIRST EXIT. WHEN I SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN, IT WAS CLEAR THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING. THERE WAS NO WARNING ON THE DASH CONSOLE AND NO AUDIO ALARM. FINALLY, I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK AND I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. *TR
