EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DURING TYPICAL DAYTIME DRIVING, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS NOT READABLE. I NEED TO TURN ON MY HEAD LIGHTS MANUALLY DURING THE DAY TO SEE HOW FAST I AM GOING. REVIEW THE PICTURE TO SEE HOW DARK THE INSTRUMENTS ARE DURING DRIVING. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO APPLY TSB #06-08-49-016 (NHTSA: 10020735) AS A RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

I AM TRYING TO REPLACE THE TURBOCHARGED UNIT BUT ALL 3 PURCHASE HAD AN INTERNAL CRACK. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM UNKNOWN BY CONSUMERS? SHOULD I BE WORRIED THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS SET DEEP INTO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR STYLING PURPOSES. AS A RESULT, THE GAUGES ARE VERY DARK AND CANNOT BE READ DURING DAYTIME DRIVING. GM SHOULD MAKE A SOFTWARE PATCH AVAILABLE TO TURN ON THE BACK LIGHTING TO THE GAUGES DAY OR NIGHT WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. OTHER VEHICLES ARE SETUP THIS WAY. THE SATURN SKY SHOULD TOO. HOW CAN I DRIVE SAFE WHEN I CANNOT SEE HOW FAST I AM GOING?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE GAUGES ILLUMINATION IS VERY POOR SINCE THE GAUGES ARE SO DEEP SET IN THE DASH. I CAN HARDLY READ THE SPEEDOMETER DURING THE DAY, ISN,T VERY BRIGHT EVEN AT NITE. THE MFG. SHOULD DO A RECALL TO UPGRADE THE DASH LIGHTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED DURING DAYTIME, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, ETC. THIS IS TRUE WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS SHOULD BE ON WHENEVER THE IGNITION SWITCH IS ON.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN FIRST STARTING ENGINE IN THE MORNING OR AFTER VEHICLE SITS FOR A BIT, THE BREAKS LITERALLY DO NOT WORK. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ACROSS THE INTERNET AND ONE THAT NOBODY AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT ANY DEALERSHIP HAS A CLUE HOW TO FIX. IF MY CAR ROLLS INTO THE STREET OF MY STEEP INCLINED DRIVEWAY? I'M DEAD. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. THE ATTACHMENT IS ONE OF THOUSANDS.

WHEELS
THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE DESCRIPTION OF THE "TPMS SYSTEM INOPERATIVE" FOR THE SAME VIN. WHEN THE VEHICLE BATTERY IS REPLACED AS PART OF NORMAL MAINTENANCE THE TPMS SYSTEM FAILS TO WORK. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY GENERAL MOTORS IN BULLETIN 08-03-16-001B. FURTHERMORE, THE TPMS SYSTEM FAILURE IS NOT INDICATED TO THE DRIVER THROUGH ANY WARNING INDICATOR. THE DRIVER WOULD BE UNAWARE OF A TIRE WITH LOW PRESSURE IN THIS SITUATION, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN HARM.

WHEELS
THE 2008 SATURN SKY HAS A SAFETY DEFECT WHEREBY THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) BECOMES INOPERATIVE DURING GENERAL MAINTENANCE. THE TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAY WILL NOT DISPLAY ANY TIRE PRESSURE DATA WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE BATTERY IS REPLACED THE RCDLR (REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCK LOCK RECEIVER MODULE) LOSES ITS KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING DATA. THE RCDLR WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE DATA FROM THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS IN EACH TIRE RENDERING THE SYSTEM INOPERATIVE. SINCE VEHICLE BATTERY REPLACEMENT IS A NORMAL MAINTENANCE ITEM I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS SAFETY SYSTEM (TPMS) SHOULD BECOME INOPERATIVE WHEN PERFORMING THAT MAINTENANCE TASK. GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF THE CONDITION AND HAS AUTHORED BULLETIN #08-03-16-001B TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AT OWNER EXPENSE. I BELIEVE THE FAILURE OF THIS SAFETY SYSTEM SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL.

AIR BAGS, SEATS
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.

AIR BAGS
I TOOK MY 2009 SATURN SKY REDLINE TO A GM DEALER ON 9/18/2018 FOR GM RECALL 17036. THEY PERFORMED THE WORK (INSTALLED REINFORCEMENT), BUT LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER, WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES SINCE THE REPAIR, THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT CAME ON. ON 9/2/2020, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO SAYS THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR MUST BE REPLACED, AT A COST TO ME OF $1182. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. THE CAR WAS BARELY USED SINCE THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE, AND IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE SENSOR WAS ON THE VERGE OF FAILURE AT THAT TIME. TOTAL MILEAGE ON THE CAR NOW IS 25,000.
