AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
SERVICE AIRBAGS SOON WARNING CAME ON INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM. THE PRESSURE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS BAD. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS SHOWN AS OFF AND DOES NOT DETECT THE SEAT BELT STATUS. IT IS QUESTIONABLE WHETHER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY NOW IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES. UPON INVESTIGATING, THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE MODELS. *JS

AFTER I PARKED MY SATURN SKY IN MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW'S DRIVEWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, MY SON-IN-LAW AND I HEARD A LOUD "POP" FROM MY SATURN SKY. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, MY SATURN SKY DRIFTED BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY (SLIGHT DOWNHILL DIRECTION) AND INTO THE STREET. MY SON-IN-LAW RAN AFTER THE CAR AND CAUGHT UP TO IT JUST AS STOPPED DRIFTING BACKWARDS UPHILL IN THE STREET AND BEGAN DRIFTING FORWARD IN A DOWNHILL DIRECTION. HE WAS ABLE TO REACH INTO THE CAR (THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS DOWN) AND SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHILE DOING SO, THE CAR RAN OVER HIS FOOT INJURING HIS TOE. THANK GOD THERE WERE NO CHILDREN PLAYING IN THE DRIVEWAY! THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS INITIALLY SET SINCE THE DRIVEWAY DOES HAVE A SLIGHT SLOPE TOWARDS THE STREET, BUT AFTER COOLING DOWN FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL FAILED ON MY 2007 SATURN SKY. THE FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT CAUSED THE CAR TO SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY FISHTAIL WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR SUBSEQUENTLY SMASHED INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN, THEN BOUNCED INTO THE ADJACENT LANE WHERE IT COLLIDED WITH A LARGE SUV. THE SUV ROLLED OVER MY HOOD AND FLIPPED OVER ON ITS TOP. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN THE SUV BEING TOTALED AND SEVERE FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THE FAILURE IN THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS FIRST DETECTED BY THE BODY REPAIR TECHNICIAN AND LATER VERIFIED BY A QUALIFIED GM DEALER. IT IS NOW BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. CONDITION: WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND CLEAR. NO OIL OR WATER ON THE ROADWAY. SAFETY RECALL NHTSA 07V589000, POWER TRAIN AXLE ASSEMBLY AXLE SHAFT SEAL, WAS PERFORMED APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS EARLIER.

I OWN A 2007 SATURN SKY AND HAVE FOR 31/2 YEARS IN THAT TIME THERE HASNT BEEN ANYBODY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT MAYBE A TOTAL OF 4 MONTHS. MY PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS ALREADY GONE BAD AND I KNOW ON THE SKYROADSTER AND THE SOLLSTICE FORUMS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL MORE. THE SENSOR I THINK IS MADE BY NIPPONDENSO AND INSTALLED ON THE 2006-2009 SKY/SOLSTICE'S I DONT EXPECT GM TO SPEND A TON OF MONEY REPLACING THEM BUT THEY COULD AT LEAST COME UP WITH A MOD SO THE AIRBAG IS ON ALL THE TIME OR GO AFTER NIPPONDENSO FOR A INFERIOR PRODUCT. I REALLY THINK THEY SHOULD LAST LONGER THEN A FEW MONTHS AND WANT GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! THANK YOU [XXX] EMAIL [XXX] CELL [XXX].

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
SINCE SEPTEMBER THE DEALER SATURN OF UNION, NJ HAS BEEN TRYING TO REPAIR MY CONVERTIBLE TOP ON MY CAR. THE TOP DOES NOT LOCK IN CORRECTLY, THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS REPLACEMENTS ON THE 2007 SATURN SKY TOPS FOR DEFECTS, SO MANY THAT SATURN HAS PUT A RESTRAINT ON THE DEALERS REPLACING TOPS. MY CAR HAS BEEN THERE 6 TIMES TIME AND STILL IT IS NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE A CASE WITH SATURN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND YET STILL NO REPAIR, THE TOP NOT LOCKING IN CORRECTLY IS DANGEROUS AN I AM AFRAID OF THE TOP BREAKING FREE WHILE DRIVING. IF A CORPORATION STOPS REPLACEMENT DUE TO MANY REPLACEMENTS SOMETHING IS WRONG, THEY KNOW THE TYPE TWO ROOFS ARE MUCH BETTER AND SAFER YET THEY ARE NOW RELUCTANT TO REPLACE THEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HOOD TO HER CONVERTIBLE DOES NOT HAVE A SECONDARY LATCH. AS A RESULT, THE HOOD RAPIDLY FLIES BACK AS IF IT WERE A SAIL. IF THE HOOD SPONTANEOUSLY OPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE BELTWAY, IT COULD EASILY DETACH BECAUSE OF THE AIR PRESSURE FROM THE WIND. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE COMPONENT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM; THEREFORE, SHE WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT HER EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 13,900.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OUR OFFICE HAS PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT IN REGARD TO A 2007 SATURN SKY THAT WE BELIEVE IS DEFECTIVE. MY CLIENT'S NAME IS MATT CASTRO AND THE PENDING ODI NUMBER IS 10237967. ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 GENERAL MOTORS SENT OUT AN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR TO CONDUCT AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. UPON COMPLETION OF THE INSPECTION, MR. BRISCOE NOTED SOMETHING PECULIAR ON THE SDM INFORMATION BOX. MR. BRISCOE, THE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR, FOUND THAT THE INFORMATION GIVEN ON THE BOX STATED THE MY CLIENT MATT CASTRO DID NOT HAVE HIS SEAT BELT ON AT THE TIME THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. HOWEVER, POLICE REPORTS AND POLICE STATEMENTS PROVIDE THAT MY CLIENT HAD TO HAVE HIS SAFETY BELT CUT AWAY TO EXTRACT HIM FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS DISCREPANCY IS OF MONUMENTAL IMPORTANCE IF WE ARE TO RELY ON THE ACCURACY OF THE SDM DEVICES. SDM DEVICES MAIN PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE ACCURATE DATA AT THE TIME AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. A DEFECTIVE DEVICE FAILING TO RECORD ACCURATE DATA COMPROMISES ALL FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS OUR HOPE THAT YOU ADDRESS THE DEFECTIVE SDM DEVICES ON THE SATURN SKY WITH URGENCY AS THIS PROBLEM COULD ONLY MAGNIFY SHOULD OTHER INCIDENTS ARISE. *TR
