NOTICED IN APRIL 2017 THAT "SERVICE AIRBAG" DASH LIGHT HAS STAYED ON CONSTANTLY. AT THE SAME TIME THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG" INDICATOR ALWAYS DISPLAYS"OFF". THAI IS WHILE A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE CAR HAS 23,228 MILES CURRENTLY. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M WORRIED THAT SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK IN A CAR CRASH.

THE ISSUE IS THE AIRBAG CONTROL SYSTEM. THE SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT IS FAULTY AND WILL PREVENT THE AIRBAG FROM BEING DEPLOYED. GM ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PROBLEM, BUT SAYS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. HOWEVER THEY ARE READILY AVAILABLE FROM MANY SOURCES INCLUDING EBAY SO THEIR CLAIM IS WITHOUT MERIT! I CAN NOT SAFELY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE KNOWING MY PASSENGER'S SAFETY IS COMPROMISED. PLEASE COMPEL GM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW. PARTS ARE AVAILABLE!!!!

I BOUGHT A SATURN SKY REDLINE LAST YEAR WITH 31000 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT THE "SERVICE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON. I AM NOW FINDING OUT THAT THIS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND SATURN SKY MODELS WITH LOW MILEAGE. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS NO RECALLS ISSUED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN THE CAR IS RENDERED USELESS. GM WANTS AROUND $700 FOR LABOR AND $300 FOR PARTS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAPPENS ON ALMOST ALL OF THESE CARS WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. GM HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR CADILLAC, BUICK AND OTHER MODELS OF THEIR CARS BUT NOT THE KAPPA VEHICLES. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THESE VECHICLES HAVE NO WORKING AIRBAGS! THE CONSUMER IS EXPECTED TO PAY UPWARDS OF $1000 TO GET IT FIXED WITH PARTS THAT ARE GOING TO FAIL AGAIN? I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN UNLESS THEY DO THE RIGHT THING. I DON'T HAVE A WORKING DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND HAVE NO ODOMETER THANKS TO THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON FOR 2 YEARS NOW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE FACT GM IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT IS GETTING RIDICULOUS AS MY SAFETY IS AT STAKE. ACTION HAS TO BE TAKEN ASAP!!! I AM AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS USED AS A PLEASURE VEHICLE MAKING LESS THEN 1000 MILES A YEAR.

PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE IS LOOSE OR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY DURING OR NOT WHEN THERE'S AN ACCIDENT! WARNING LIGHT COMES ON TO CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE. HAD ESTIMATES TO COST ME OVER $1000 THE CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND WASN'T EVER WRECKED! IT JUST STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT A CAUSE. IT'S 10 YEARS OLD, GARAGE KEPT AND ONLY HAS 43,200 MILES ON IT. I HAD 3 RECALLS ALREADY ON THE REAR MAIN SEAL AND TWICE ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WHERE IT WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING ALMOST CAUSING A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT GETTING OFF RAMP ONTO I-80 TRACTOR TRAILER JUST MISSED ME!

MY 2007 SATURN SKY WITH 81,000 MILES ON IT DISPLAYED "SERVICE AIR BAG", TOOK IT TO GM DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) FAULT AND SAID THE COST FOR REPAIR WOULD BE $1000+. I PAID THEM THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TIME ($105) AND ELECTED TO REPAIR MYSELF. REMOVAL OF PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM COVER INDICATED A BREAK IN THE FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT PAD WHICH DETECTS PASSENGER PRESENCE. COST FOR REPLACEMENT SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY (INCLUDES PPS) FROM GM IS OVER $400 BUT STILL CHEAPER THAN PAYING DEALER FOR THIS WORK. THIS IS DISCUSSED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SKY & SOLSTICE AND GM RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON OTHER VEHICLES HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES (IE: CADILLAC CTS) BUT GM REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE SKY OR SOLSTICE. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE WITH KNOWN FLAWS IN IT (PLASTIC RIBBON CABLES CANNOT WITHSTAND REPEATED FORCE APPLICATIONS FOREVER). I UNDERSTAND MOST PEOPLE ELECT TO JUST CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE, DUE TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH COST OF REPAIRS, WHICH LEAVES AN ADULT PASSENGER UNPROTECTED DURING A CRASH WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT (PPS DEACTIVATES PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IF CHILD IS PRESENT. GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS OR PROVIDE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS SAFETY CRITICAL ITEM. *TR
