THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR IS NO LONGER WORKING. THE CAR IS LOW ON MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND CARED FOR. GM APPARENTLY HAS A HIGH FAILURE RATE FOR THIS PART AND IS CHARGING $800-$900 FOR THE FIX. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BROKEN SENSOR. IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A TRIP UP NORTH, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND "SERVICE AIR BAG" APPEARED IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. AFTER TAKING INTO GET FIXED, THE ISSUE IS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, RENDERING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG USELESS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT WITH THE SATURN SKYS. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX (AROUND $1000) AND VERY DANGEROUS, AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM MODULE HAS GONE OUT. I HAVE DONE ALL CIRCUIT TESTING, RESEARCH AND PRICED THE REPAIRS. I AM A SERVICE TECHNICIAN OF 6 YEARS AND HAVE WORKED FOR GM FOR THE FIRST 3. ALMOST EVERY SATURN SKY I KNOW OF HAS HAD THE PPS MODULE FAIL, AND WE HAVE MANY REPORTS AND PICTURES OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NOT DEPLOYING DURING COLLISIONS, SOMETIMES THE DRIVER DOES NOT EITHER. THIS IS CLOSE TO A $1000 FIX, CONSIDERING THE PRICE OF THE PPS MODULE BY ITSELF IS $500+ FROM THE DEALER. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND IN MOTION, CITY AND HIGHWAY WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURED. THE PPS MODULE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND THEREFORE DOES NOT TURN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ON. THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT, 10 MINUTES INTO DRIVING, IT TURNED ON AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT CYCLED BACK OFF, LIT UP THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND SAID, 'SERVICE AIR BAG,' ON THE DIC. IT CYCLED ONE MORE TIME TO ON, AND THEN BACK OFF A FEW MINUTES LATER AND NOW STAYS OFF. THE ENTIRE TIME IT CYCLED BACK AND FORTH THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. AS A TECHNICIAN AND A CAR ENTHUSIAST, I AM WELL AWARE THAT CARS HAVE TO BE MAINTAINED AND EXPENSIVE PARTS WILL BE BOUGHT OVER THE YEARS, BUT THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN SKY'S AIR BAG SYSTEM IS CONCERNING AND I WOULD HOPE, WITH AS MANY RECALLS HAVE GONE OUT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THAT NHTSA, AND GM, WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT LIKE PEOPLE DID IN THE COBALT IGNITION RECALLS. I ALSO HAVE A COBALT, SO I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND I HOPE SOMEONE WILL ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE THIS INSTEAD OF IGNORING IT AND PEOPLE GET HURT. IF IT WAS YOUR OWN VEHICLE, YOU WOULD BE ALARMED AS WELL. ALSO, THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE 2005-07 CADILLAC CTS AIRBAG RECALL WAS THE SAME PART NUMBER USED IN THE 2007 SKY, POSSIBLY 07-10. I DO NOT HAVE PROOF OF THAT, YET. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE OCCUPANCY SENSOR FAILED, AND AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH EVEN WITH SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT. BEGAN AS A RANDOM FAILURE, SWITCHING FROM FAILED TO OPERATIONAL ON EACH START. ULTIMATELY, STAYED IN FAILED CONDITION. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, DASH WARNING APPEARS WARNING OF SYSTEM FAILURE. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THIS AS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND RESEARCH SUGGESTS HUNDREDS OF GM OWNERS SUFFER THE SAME ISSUE. ONLY SUGGESTED REMEDY WAS A $900-$1000 REPLACEMENT BY DEALER.

MY PASSENGER PRESSANCE CONTROL MODULE CAME ON AFTER MY PASSENGER LEANED FORWARD IN MY CAR WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. IT NOW COMES ON EVERYTHING I START MY CAR WHETHER I HAVE A PASSENGER OR NOT. MY LOCAL GMC QUOTE 889 TO FIX THIS AND EVEN HE SAID THAT'S PRETTY EXPENSIVE (NOTE THAT THE QUOTED PRICE INCLUDED LABOR).

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR FAILED IN MY 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 27K MILES AND FAILED WHEN MY 7 YEAR OLD SON SAT IN THE SEAT AS WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE ON ERRANDS. THE COST TO FIX THE SENSOR IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE AND IS OCCURING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY IN THIS FAMILY OF CARS. THIS CAUSES THE AIRBAG NOT TO FUNCTION WITH A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. IN THE EVENT OF A WRECK THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING COULD CAUSE THE FATALITY OF THE PASSENGER.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO THE FAULTY AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE SEATS OF THE SATURN SKY'S AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE. A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE SEATS IS LEADING TO AN EXPENSIVE FIX FOR GM OWNERS. THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT ILLUMINATES DUE TO A FAULTY CRAFTSMANSHIP IN THE SEAT SENSOR. THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND REALLY STARTED TO TAKE PLACE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE AFTER THE IGNITION RECALL. THE REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR IS COSTING AROUND $900 FOR THE REPAIR OF ONE SEAT WHEN THE PARTS CAN BE ORDERED FORM GERMANY FOR AROUND $80. GM KNOWS AND REALLY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSES SOME TYPE OF BODILY HARM.

THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR HAS FAILED IN MY VEHICLE. ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR FACES ADDED RISK IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. IT IS PROHIBITIVELY COSTLY (MY ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS $800) TO DO THIS REPAIR. GIVEN THE FREQUENCY OF THIS IDENTICAL FAILURE ACROSS THIS VEHICLE PLATFORM, I FIND IT TO BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND REQUEST THEIR ASSISTANCE.
