AIR BAGS, SEATS
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.

I BROUGHT MY SATURN SKY THAT WAS MANUFACTURED BY GM TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE MODULE IS NOT ON RECALL ALTHOUGH MANY OTHER MODELS THAT GM MAKES DID AND DOES HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME PRODUCT. I WILL NO LONGER LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WOULD HOPE THAT SOMEONE WOULD FORCE GM TO DO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR ALL THEIR OTHER MAKES AND MODELS. IF SOMEONE GETS HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED I WILL HAVE TO BE FORCED TO SUE SOMEONE. THEY SAY THE PROCESS COSTS $900 AND I THINK IF ANYTHING THEY SHOULD PAY FOR AT LEAST THE PARTS. HOW CAN THEY RECALL OTHER MODELS AND NOT THIS MODEL?

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I WOULD LIKE TO NOTIFY THE NHTSA AS WELL AS GM THAT THE RECENT HUMMER RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE VEHICLES THAT SHARE SOME OF IT'S COMPONENTS THAT ARE BEING RECALLED CURRENTLY. IT ALSO EFFECTS THE CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON TRUCKS. AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE I DRIVE WHICH IS THE SATURN SKY AND IT'S IDENTICAL PONTIAC SOLSTICE. THE SKY/SOLSTICE HAS THE SAME HVAC UNIT AND WIRING HARNESS THAT IS BEING RECALLED DUE TO FIRE RISKS IN THE HUMMER. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS FOR MY SKY. IN ORDER TO GET THE REVISED PART THAT IS BEING INSTALLED IN THE HUMMERS, IT WOULD COST ME $150 OUT OF POCKET WITHOUT LABOR. BEING THAT THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE FOR WORK AND SCHOOL, I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A LOW VOLUME VEHICLE IN COMPARISON TO THE HUMMER AND IT WILL BE IGNORED BY BOTH GM AND NHTSA. I BELIEVE IF ONE VEHICLE GETS RECALLED FOR A PARTICULAR COMPONENT, IT IS THE JOB OF BOTH GM AND NHTSA TO SEE IF SAID COMPONENTS WERE USED IN OTHER VEHICLES, TO WHICH GM DID FOR 4 OTHER VEHICLES; COLORADO, CANYON, SKY, AND SOLSTICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. PLEASE NOTE THIS COMPLAINT IS SIMPLY TO NOTIFY, MY CAR HAS NOT CAUGHT FIRE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT MY A/C IS ACTING ODD LATELY AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS THAT IS BEING IGNORED.

MY 2008 SATURN SKY ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT BECAUSE I GARAGE IT IN BAD WEATHER IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM PAYING 1100.00 THIS WEEK TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT I AM PAYING FOR SOMETHING THIS IMPORTANT WHEN THE CAR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON IT BECAUSE IT IS SO WELL TAKEN CAR OF. THE ONLY REASON I AM PAYING THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY AND THIS SHOULD BE A GM PROBLEM NOT MINE. SHAME ON GM, SINCE OTHER CARS WITH THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR HAS FAILED. IF YOU DO RESEARCH YOU WILL SEE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF SATURN SKY'S AND IT'S SISTER PLATFORM CAR THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE HAS HAD NUMEROUS FAILURES DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SENSOR MODULE. OTHER MANUFACTURES THAT USE THE SAME MODULE (LIKE BMW) HAVE ISSUED RECALLS ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU COMPEL GM TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS THEY HAVE DONE ON THESE CARS YOU WILL SEE THAT THE FAILURE IS WIDE SPREAD AND HAPPENS EVEN ON LOW MILEAGE RARELY USED CARS. GM SHOULD HAS FAILED TO RESPOND TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SEAT SENSOR. *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

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

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
