2007 SATURN SKY Seats Problems

Recall failure of airbag seat occupancy sensor. The car was taken to authorized dealer in 2018 for the recall. The sensor failed in 2021. The recall did not replace the seat sensor but only added reinforcement tape. In 2021 the air bag lights came on. An authorized dealer investigation found the airbag seat sensor had failed. GM was notifed through the dealer and replied the warranty was over and they are not responsible for the recall repair after the warranty period. The recall rectification appears to be poorly designed leading to eventual failure of the sensor leaving passengers unprotected.. Please follow-up with GM on this issue. I'm sure thousands of cars are affected.

I brought my 2007 Saturn Sky in for Recall repair of passenger seat airbag presence system.... The dealership added 4 retaining clips and a reinforcement strip to the passenger seat as part of the recall. Now my airbag warning light is always on and my dashboard info system says ' service airbag' The passenger seat sensor was never replaced as the recall states it should have been.

MY 2007 SATURN SKY AUTOMOBILE HAD A AIRBAG/ SAFETY RECALL (RECALL # 17036) WHICH I HAD SHEARER CHEVROLET SOUT BURLINGTON, VERMONT PREFORM. THEY ONLY DID PART OF THE RECALL AND WITHIN 4000 MILES (10 MONTHS) OF THEM DOING THE WORK THE MODULE KIT WHICH THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO REPLACE BUT DIDN'T AS PART OF THE RECALL FAILED AND I WAS FORCED TO PAY OVER $900 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AGAIN INCLUDING REPLACING THE MODULE KIT (GM PART NUMBER #84447741). I LOST THE USE OF THE CAR OVER 2 MONTHS THIS SUMMER 2020 DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS UNINSPECTABLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. LAMOILLE VALLEY CHEVROLET HYDE PARK, VERMONT (802-888-4942) PERFORMED THE SECOND REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE.

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!

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.

AFTER A GM IGNITION RECALL ON SATURN SKY--WE RECEIVED NOTICE AND TOOK OUR CAR TO THE GM SHOP TO DO THE WORK. HOWEVER NOW THE "AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT" STAYS ON---WE DID MUCH RESEARCH AND REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION AND SENSOR-----THIS DID NOT RESULT IN THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT GOING OFF--WE TOOK IT TO THE GM DEALER TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE WHY THE SEAT/SENSOR REPLACEMENT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATE THE SEAT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED AND IT IS NOT CAUSING THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ISSUE---BUT THEY DID NOT TELL US WHAT WAS THE DIAGNOSED PROBLEM. MANY SATURN SKY OWNERS HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU AND ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR FAMILIES, THE FACT THEY CANNOT PASS STATE REQUIRED SAFETY INSPECTIONS; WHICH RENDERS THEIR GM PRODUCT COMPLETELY USELESS. GM HAS NEVER RESPONDED TO THESE ISSUES FOR SATURN SKY OWNERS OR FOR PONTIAC SOLSTICE OWNERS AND THE NHTSA LIKEWISE HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE, DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. MANY OTHER AIR BAG ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY YOUR BOARD FOR A VARIETY OF VEHICLES---WHY NOT THIS ONE? I WILL BE APPROACHING MY STATE AND FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES WITH THIS CONCERN AS WELL; IT IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. MY HUSBAND HAS ALSO WRITTEN TO THE NHTSA HAS NEVER RESPONDED. WILL YOU RESPOND NOW?

TYPICAL ENGINEERED PROBLEMS @ LOW MILEAGE: SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR, DASH INFO LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND EXTREMELY NOISY AC SYSTEM. A RECALL WOULD BE NICE, BUT THE CAR IS AN ORPHAN. (A DISCONTINUED VEHICLE, WITH LITTLE SUPPORT.) SAFE AT ANY SPEED ?

PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE-SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING IS ACTIVATED AND COMES ON PERIODICALLY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SENSOR WHICH RESULTS IN AIR BAG NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY OR BEING DEPLOYED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT GM IS AWARE OF AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER MODEL CARS EXCEPT FOR THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND ONE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY RECALL. *TR

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS FAILED IN MY CAR. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A CONDITION IN WHICH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS PERMANENTLY DISABLED, A POTENTIAL LARGE SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE CARS, AND THERE IS NO OUTSTANDING RECALL TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD TODAY THAT ARE OPERATING WITHOUT A FUNCTIONAL PASSENGER AIR BAG, PUTTING PASSENGERS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RISK FOR INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. GIVEN THE PREVALENCE OF THIS ISSUE, ITS SEVERITY, AND THE COST TO REPAIR, I FEEL AS THOUGH A SAFETY RECALL IS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THESE MODELS. *TR
