DASHBOARD MESSAGE CENTER INDICATING A "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE WHEN CAR IS STARTED. RECEIVE THE MESSAGE EVERY TIME KEY IS TURNED ON... I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SATURN SKY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE RELATED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR. GM WILL NOT COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A PART OF THE VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEM. THE FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR" COMPONENT AND/OR A PERIODIC MAINTENANCE ISSUE. GM HAS ISSUED RECALLS ON OTHER GM MODELS WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES, SO WHY NOT THE SATURN SKY. IT SEEMS GM NEEDS GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION AND/OR LAWSUITS, BEFORE IT WILL TAKE ACTION. AS A SKY OWNER I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WHETHER OR NOT MY AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY, DUE TO A DEFECT IN A SAFETY SYSTEM. A CAR OWNER'S EXPECTATION IS THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, JUST LIKE THE EXPECTATION THE SEAT BELT WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I'M A SINGLE WOMAN, AND HARDLY ANYONE EVER SITS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT. THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT HAS COME ON OUT OF NOWHERE. NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT GOES ON. NOTHING HEAVY (BESIDES A FEW GROCERIES FROM TIME TO TIME) HAS EVER BEEN PUT IN THE SEAT. *TR

2007 SATURN SKY RECENTLY, A LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH READ "SERVICE AIR BAG." *MW THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY A REPUTABLE AUTO GARAGE SHOP, THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SENSOR WHICH ACTIVATED THE AIR BAG, AT A COST OF $800 PLUS, AND AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED, HE WOULD NEED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE REPROGRAMMED AT AN ADDITIONAL COST OF APPROXIMATELY $125.00. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER, AND WAS INFORMED THE SENSOR WOULD COST $ 1,692.00. THE CONSUMER DECLINED THE REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED, THE 2009 MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *JB

THE SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY WIFE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT IT MEANS BUT AFTER VISITING THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER, I KNOW I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME. IF GM CAN ASSURE ME THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY PASSENGER THEN SO BE IT. IF GM CANNOT MAKE THIS ASSURANCE, THEN GM NEEDS TO BE RECALLING AND REPAIRING THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING CAME ON AND NOW THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT FUNCTION. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I FEEL THAT WITH THE LARGE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS OCCURRING WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ACTIVATED FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE DRIVING. FOUND THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT HAS A SEPARATION CRACK. NOTHING HEAVY HAS EVER BEEN PLACED ON THE SEAT AND MY ONLY PASSENGER WEIGHS ONLY 97 LBS. I HAVE READ THAT GM HAS RECALLED MANY OF THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSORS JUST NOT FOR THE SKY DUE TO THE SENSORS BREAKING. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED AS THIS HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AND IF AN ACCIDENT HAD HAPPENED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR

IN 2011 MY AIRBAG SERVICE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT NO COST SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. TODAY, OCTOBER 12, 2014, THE AIRBAG SERVICE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 45,000 MILES AND IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND DEFINITELY SOME KIND OF DEFECT. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COST. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER SATURN SKY OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. IN ADDITION, I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR THE IGNITION PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR PARTS TO COME IN. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS AN EXTREME CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO GET IN A WRECK WITH A CHILD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY AND FATALLY INJURE THE YOUNG PASSENGER. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO RECALL ALL SATURN SKY ROADSTERS FROM YEARS 2007-2010 AS ALL MODEL YEARS ARE AFFECTED. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH MANY OTHER VEHICLES AS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH CAN INDICATE. THANK YOU! *TR

AS SO MANY OTHER SKY AND SOLSTICE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS FAILED RENDERING THE RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG INOPERABLE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH THIS IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT GOING BACK TO THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE. VERY LITTLE USE OF MY SEAT HAS MADE MY CAR UNSAFE FOR PASSENGERS OBVIOUSLY FROM A DEFECT. GM HAS BEEN OF NO HELP TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE OTHER THAN A CHARGE OF A $1000.00 TO REPLACE IT. A RECALL IS REQUIRED HERE. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE IGNITION KEY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND ASKED THEM TO DIAGNOSE IT. THEY CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS CRUCIAL TO GET IT FIXED AND IF I EVER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. QUOTED ME $850 TO GET IT FIXED! TOLD THEM I COULDN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT RIGHT NOW. ITS BEEN 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD. I USE MY HUSBANDS TRUCK TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL. I WONT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IN FEAR OF CRASHING WITH NO AIRBAG. NOT GOOD GM. PLEASE RECALL THIS SO NO ONE GETS HURT! I'VE NEVER HEARD OF AIRBAGS GOING SO QUICKLY (IF AT ALL) IN A VEHICLE. FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT CONTINUES TO BE IGNORED. *TR
