AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN MY VEHICLE CAME ON TWO DAYS AFTER DEALER REPAIRED THE IGNITION RECALL. AND I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE . SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT IS VERY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED GM VEHICLES FOR 25 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IN FACT I HAVE A 01 DURMAX THAT HAS 375 THOUSAND MILES AND AIR BAGS SYSTEM HAS NEVER FAULTED. YOU DO REALIZE ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR FACES ADDED RISK IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OWNER'S COST TO FIX THIS ITEM IS PROHIBITIVE ($800-$ 1000.00), AND THAT THE EARLY FAILURE OF THIS PART IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY THREADS WHERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND I HAVE PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE DAILY AND ,I FEEL YOUR COMPANY IS PUTTING MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS AT RISK OF INJURY. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON CONTINUOUSLY. DEALER WANTED $900+ TO FIX. THEY CHARGES ME $100+ JUST TO DIAGNOSE IT & TELL ME THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE AIRBAG SENSOR. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A "SAFETY ISSUE" & SHOULD BE FIXED AT THE MFGS EXPENSE. *TR

TOOK MY 2007 SATURN SKY ( WITHIN WARRANTY) TO SATURN DEALER IN OCTOBER 2008 FOR SERVICE ON DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD SEVERAL OF THEIR PEOPLE SIT IN THE SEAT AND COULD NOT FIND A DEFECT (SO THEY SAID). THEY DID NOT PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC ! TODAY I TOOK THE SAME VEHICLE (NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, OF COURSE) TO CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR IGNITION (RECALL) AND ASKED THEM TO ALSO LOOK AT PASSENGER AIRBAG. LO AND BEHOLD THEY FOUND A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG MODULE, AND IT WILL COST ME $800 TO REPLACE! IMAGINE THAT! THANKS GM! I AM JOINING IN WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER SATURN SKY OWNERS AND ASKING: WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON THE SATURN SKY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG MODULE????!! *TR

THE PURPOSE OF THIS E-MAIL IS TO NOTIFY YOU OF PROBLEMS I'M EXPERIENCING TRYING TO GET THE RECALL ACCOMPLISHED ON MY SKY. I'VE CALLED SCHOLFIELD (THE DESIGNATED REPAIR DEALER FOR MY AREA) MULTIPLE TIMES AND AM GETTING A RUN AROUND. THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS AND IT WILL BE 6-8 WEEKS BEFORE THEY EXPECT A DELIVERY. I'M WANTING TO PUT OUT A NOTICE THAT IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR WHILE WAITING FOR AN INEXPENSIVE DEFECTIVE PART, THERE MAY BE OTHER OUTCOMES, MOST ASSUREDLY UNDESIRABLE. WHATEVER CAN BE DONE, NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THIS VEHICLE IS A POTENTIAL THREAT ON THE ROADS AND THAT IS NOT DUE TO MY PERSISTENCE IN TRYING TO GET THE MANDATED RECALL DONE. ACCORDING TO THE LETTER, "YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR GM DEALER TO ARRANGE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." I HAVE TRIED TO DO THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, ONLY TO BE PUT OFF BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU COULD OFFER WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED AS THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A PRIORITY FOR THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

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

FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR FOR THE SATURN SKY AIRBAG. VERY COMMON FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE (SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE). DESIGN / ENGINEERING / MANUFACTURING ERROR. FAILURE OF THIS SENSOR MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY FOR A PASSENGER IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE BUT GM WILL NOT REPLACE WITH RATIONALIZATION THAT VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

WHEN TAKING MY CAR IN FOR IGNITION RECALL REPAIRS I NOTICED THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT WHEN THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS INSTALLED THE ERROR WOULD CLEAR ITSELF. IT DID NOT, AND WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE GM DEALERSHIP SERVICE DESK THEY DENIED THAT THERE WAS ANY LINKAGE BETWEEN THE AIRBAG OPERATION AND THE IGNITION SWITCH DESPITE THE DESCRIPTION IN THEIR OWN RECALL NOTICE WARNING THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT INFLATE IF THE ORIGINAL SWITCH WAS FAULTY. GM IS ATTEMPTING TO AVOID THE COST OF A NEW AIRBAG MADE INEFFECTIVE BY THEIR OWN FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I WENT TO THE GM DEALER TO HAVE MY CAR MADE SAFE AND WAS DIRECTED TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP WITH AN UNSAFE CAR, WITHOUT A WORKING AIRBAG. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA AND MAKE GM INSURE THAT ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AFTER RECALL REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED! *TR

AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE PASSENGER ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DIC WHEN THEY SAT DOWN. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR SAID THE AIR BAG WAS "OFF". AFTER THE PASSENGER EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE WARNING REMAINED AND THE INDICATOR LIGHTS STILL SAID "OFF". DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RESETTING MADE NO DIFFERENCE. IT APPEARS THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
