Passanger seat airbag failure.
Airbag module failed after just 36k miles. This is a common and widespread issue and absolutely needs to be addressed in a recall. *ln
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated that the air bag sensor light constantly illuminated. The manufacturer was notified who stated there was no recall and offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 72,000.
Air bag seat sensor failure will not pass safety inspection in my state. Va.
Service air bag warning is activated due to a defective sensor which results in air bag not functioning properly or being deployed in the event of an accident.this is an obvious safety concern that should be addressed by recall.
My passenger side airbag sensor is faulty.it then shuts down the entire airbag system. Once the passenger presence sensor fails, it stores a code in the srs module and lights up the 'service air bag' light. The airbag on the passenger side becomes disabled once this light is illuminated. This can pose an increased risk of injury to the passenger in an accident.the same problem has occurred in other cars with the airbag sensor brand/type-including the cadillac cts- these were recalled.why has the saturn not been recalled if it is the same part?please look into this issue before people get hurt or killed!
Passenger seat occupancy sensor failed. It is a known issue with these cars and gm has done nothing about it.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v061000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer (arcadia chevrolet geo buick, 210 s brevard ave, arcadia, fl 34266) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Service air bag warning appears on dash with no passenger in the vehicle. The warning appears every time i start the car. When a passenger is in the vehicle the passenger air bag indicator always reads "off".
Everytime i start my vehicle i get the following messages on the control panel.service airbag, service traction control, esc off/disabled.there has been no accidents on the vehicle but lack of esc makes controlling the rwd performance vehicle difficult, in addition the service airbag message is further reason for concern.
Initial incident occurred while i had a passenger in the front right seat driving at 35 mph. Three beeps from and a 'service air bag' warning message displayed on my dash. After stopping and shutting off my car, the warning did not appear when i started it again.exactly two weeks later, the same thing happened again when riding with a passenger, but this time the warning did not go away after restarting my vehicle. Now, the warning comes up every time i start my vehicle.this is a known issue with saturn sky and pontiac solstice models. As it relates to passenger safety, should immediately be recalled.

Air bag warning light came on, and disappeared while at a red light in a period of about ~1 minute. After passenger sat in the car, air bag warning light came on again for a short period of about five minutes and off again. Passenger air bag indicator at the time when alert came on was noted as off state, all other time when passenger is present, indicator is noted as on state. After driving a while ~20minutes, air bag warning light came on and this time it stayed on, passenger airbag indicator is in off state. Upon restarting the car/engine. Warning light disappeared however, after short minutes it came back on, and now the air bag warning light has been on for over 3 days. Passenger in or not, indicator is in off state. After viewing forums and posts about recurring problem effected by similar cars such as the pontiac solstice, pontiac solstice gpx, and saturn sky, please take consideration in looking into our air bag system.thank you!
Car is 2007 model with <20,000 miles and has air bag warning light coming on.the car is rarely used and is garage kept.i see hundreds of complaints online about this safety problem on the saturn sky.gm should warn the public owners and do a recall to fix this dangerous safety problem.

The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky.the contact received the nhtsa recall notification related to campaign number 14v047000 (air bags, electrical system). The contact stated that the vehicle was not repaired within a reasonable amount of time. The dealer advised the contact that the parts were not available. There were no failures at this time. The manufacturer was not notified of the delay....updated 09-05-14 the vehicle was repaired. Updated 9/15/2014
The passenger presence system module has gone out. I have done all circuit testing, research and priced the repairs. I am a service technician of 6 years and have worked for gm for the first 3. Almost every saturn sky i know of has had the pps module fail, and we have many reports and pictures of the passenger air bag not deploying during collisions, sometimes the driver does not either. This is close to a $1000 fix, considering the price of the pps module by itself is $500+ from the dealer. My vehicle was stationary, and in motion, city and highway when this failure occured. The pps module does not recognize a passenger in the car and therefore does not turn the passenger air bag on. The first time it did it, 10 minutes into driving, it turned on and the air bag light went off. A few minutes later it cycled back off, lit up the air bag light and said, 'service air bag,' on the dic. It cycled one more time to on, and then back off a few minutes later and now stays off. The entire time it cycled back and forth there was a passenger in the car. As a technician and a car enthusiast, i am well aware that cars have to be maintained and expensive parts will be bought over the years, but the overwhelming evidence that there is a problem with the saturn sky's air bag system is concerning and i would hope, with as many recalls have gone out over the last several years, that nhtsa, and gm, would do something about it before someone gets hurt like people did in the cobalt ignition recalls. I also have a cobalt, so i know all about that as well. Thank you for your time, and i hope someone will actually investigate this instead of ignoring it and people get hurt. If it was your own vehicle, you would be alarmed as well. Also, there is concern that the 2005-07 cadillac cts airbag recall was the same part number used in the 2007 sky, possibly 07-10. I do not have proof of that, yet.
5/14/12 46222 miles vehicle indicated a "service air bag" warning - took vehicle to covert buick dealership service for diagnosis.it was determined that the passenger present module was faulty and it was replaced.2/10/15 84300 miles vehicle is again showing "service air bag" warning.again problem with the passenger present module.it was conveyed that if this module is not in working order the passenger air bag may not deploy in the event of an accident.it is obvious that this module is poorly made to have another failure in less than 40,000 miles.the passenger seat on this car is used very infrequently, no spills of any kind.my research shows that this a common issue with this part.gm should take action to avoid injury or fatality at their hands.thank you
The passenger air bag warning light came on. The message center warned of air bag error. Note: many saturn sky cars are reporting this flaw. This car had only 24,500 miles on it. It has never been abused. It has less than 26,000 miles on it now. Is this a recall? can onstar trigger this notice?
Saturn 2007 sky airbag light came on about at 70,000 miles passenger side.a lot of saturn skys are having this problem and it needs attention immediately!!!!!!!
Passenger side airbag indicator does not detect person sitting in passenger seat. My guess is that it has a faulty sensor.
My saturn sky's passenger air bag "service air bag" light has been on for a month now, and i assume there is no protection from it.i researched on line about it and it seems every car has this issue eventually. I know saturn no longer exists, but gm should do a recall on them and get them fixed.this is serious issue and a $750-$1000 repair that most can't afford.
Passenger presence module-service air bag warning is activated and comes on periodically due to a defective sensor which results in air bag not functioning properly or being deployed in the event of an accident. This is an obvious safety concern that gm is aware of and has been recalled in other model cars except for the saturn sky and pontiac solstice. It is a major safety concern and one that should be addressed by recall.
Nothing happen not sure why the light is on.my daughter has not had an accident.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact received a notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v061000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called sam pierce chevrolet (12401 w co rd 550 s, daleville, in 47334) and was informed that the manufacturer was not performing an interim repair on vehicles. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the parts were not available. The contact had experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The airbag for the passenger no longer activates, this seems to be an issue with thepassenger presence system and it seems to be happening to a lot of sky owners.
My air bag for pasenger side is on -i hadit checked and it's a sensor-which is very dangerous-please solve this problem-ithank you
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated that while starting the ignition, the air bag off indicator illuminated although the front passenger's side seat was occupied. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who informed the contact that the air bag sensor would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 24,500.updated 12/04/13*ljthe consumer stated the manufacturer covered 30% of the repair bill. The consumer found other reports of airbag failure on the internet. Updated 12/5/2013
Takata recall.i have been trying for a year to get this recall taken care of.my vehicle needs the module and it is unavailable.i have had it to the dealership and they determined that it requires the part, but they can't get the part so my car is sitting with expired inspection now and i can't drive it.i think gm is not intending to make this part available but htey don't want anyone to know that.
Passenger seat airbag sensor failed. Vehicle was stationary. Warning on dash.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 17v061000 (air bags) and stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time to perform the repair. The dealer (stewart chevrolet, 780 serramonte boulevard, colma, ca 94014) confirmed that parts were not available to perform the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
The airbag sensor shuts off.used to be periodic but now appears to be permanently off. Started happening right after recall repaired on the ignition switch.
Although i rarely have passengers, for some odd reason, my passenger airbag warning light randomly went on. After searching the internet for causes/solutions, i see that this is a common occurrence for these types of cars. There's even a movement with sky and solstice owners who have this issue to com here and file this form (which is how i found it). This issue wouldn't be so intolerable, if the solution wasn't so expensive (over $1000 for a sensor/module repair - $356.43 for parts and a whopping $647.50 in labor). This needs to be corrected and i hope this form is part of the solution. Thank you!
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.
At about 31,000 miles while driving down the road with a passenger the airbag off light flashed on and off several times finally ending up off with a service airbag message.was traveling about 65 miles per hour on freeway.
Passenger presence airbag sensor was intermittently not working and now does not sense a passenger at all.passenger airbag is now off.
I get a "service air bag" message when i start the car.this was previously repaired in 2011 after i got the samemessage at that time.this is a problem with the passenger air bag and it has been diagnosed as the air bag sensor module needs to be replaced.i understand from web searches that this problem is occurring often for this model of the saturn sky.
Passenger air bag problem
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v061000 (air bags); however, the part for the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was not notified. The manufacturer did not know when the parts would be available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available. Parts distribution disconnect.
I was driving on the interstate at about 65 mph. I hydroplaned out of control and hit the wall head on. Airbags didn't deploy. My face hit the steering wheel, busting my lip and giving me a black eye, but i made it out alive.
Passenger airbag presence switch failed which is common among owners of this same vehicle.great expense to repair. Gm should recall as it is so prevalent before a fatality occurs.
Driving 35 miles an hour i noticed passenger side airbag warning light appeared on dash, when i took car to gm dealer they said it would cost 900 dollars to replace.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was informed that the air bag system on the front passenger side failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 31,000.
The passenger seat sensor has failed and the airbag does not know if someone is in the seat.during an accident the airbag will not deploy.
The airbag warning light has just come on, on my 2007 saturn sky. After getting the error code scanned air bag code b0081. I was informed that there is a problem with the passenger presence system. After speaking to the gm service manager and mechanic who diagnosed the problem with my vehicle and doing some research, i quickly learned this is a known problem and issue for the 2007 saturn sky as with the cadillac cts and kia. Both vehicles have been recalled for the same issue. Based on the number of complaints for the passenger airbag safety system. Why has no recall been issued to solve this malfunctioning system?
Service air bag warning appeared on dash with no passenger in the vehicle while driving down the highway.the warning appears every time i start the car.when a passenger is in the vehicle the passenger air bag indicator always reads "off".
I started the car and the "service air bag" light came up in the message center on the dash.the passenger air bag light indicates that the passenger air bag is not on even when there is a passenger.this is a very dangerous situation for the passenger to be in.it is my understanding that this is not an uncommon problem for saturn skys and pontiac solstices.there are many, many incidences of this problem. The cost of repair is extremely high andthe dealership we took it to said there was no recall for this part.this defective part should have a recall for the safety of all the owners and their passengers.
Service air bag light came on on car,l occurred one day randomly turning on car, looked around online and turns out it is a very very common issue. Huge safety hazard because passenger airbag stays permanently off. In order to repair have to replace the whole bottom seat.
I have had 2 saturn sky's, both have randomly disabled their airbags while driving due to a faulty sensor in the passenger seat. When i went online i found this is a common problem and even read news broadcasts about this specific sensor failing. The following website is one of those stories. My dealership has stated that it is not a recall matter. Http://www.wsmv.com/story/24037545/devices-triggering-passenger-air-bags-repeatedly-recalled
My airbag sensor quit working. At this low mileage there should not be an issue. Now my car is out of warranty and i'm forced to pay to have it fixed out of pocket. From my research this appears to be a common issue. I encourage the nhtsa to investigate the issue and have gm recall vehicles with a similar issue. It is for the safety of the public.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. While operating the vehicle, the air bag sensor light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger seat sensor was faulty. The seat cushion was replaced and the failure was remedied. Approximately 12,000 miles later, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 33,000.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky.the contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated in the vehicle.the vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not repaired.the manufacturer was notified.the approximate failure mileage was 37,000.
I went into a parking lot and over a speed bump with a passenger in the car. As soon as we went over the speed bump the light on my dash that shows an airbag being deployed lit up. Now the dealership says the passenger presence module for the passenger air bag is bad. Since this is a "smart" airbag system the module has to be changed and calibrated at the dealer. This was one of a very few time i've had a passenger in my car and seems beyond comprehension that this sensor would break with such limited use and cost $1000 to replace. I have found through my research that many thousands of gm products are having very similar issues with very similar cost to repair. Sure seems like gm knows there is a problem but has found that it's more profitable to keep replacing them at the owners cost!
Check airbag system light message is on and there is a similar issues on this car's twin 2007 pontiac solstice which has a recall but the dealer won't fix the same issue on this car and wants over a $1000. This car has never been in an accident im the second owner and it's been kept in a dry storage. It has 33k miles.
Service air bag light is on, this is a safety hazard and i think gm should take the responsibility to repair this before someone gets seriously injured because the air bag did not deploy.
Passenger service air bag light come on. This car rarely has a passenger in the car and the car only has a little over 50,000 miles on it. I had to have the seat sensor repaired out of my own pocket even though this is a known problem with these cars (and others using the same sensor) and should be recalled for repair or reimbursement. Gm is apparently turning a deaf ear to the complaints with regards to this issue. This is a safety issue and i hope it doesn't take a death or serious injury because the system failed.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v047000 (air bags, electrical system); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Passenger seat airbag warning light stays off, does not go to on position when seat is occupied.service airbag soon warning light appears on instrument panel. Had system diagnosed , found that the pass. Seat presence module is faulty. And needs to be replaced,. This is a critical safety issue and not, an isolated issue with these vehicles and should be recalled by gm and replaced at no cost to me.please do the right thing andcorrect this issue!!
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated that he started the vehicle and the air bag light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the air bag sensor in the passenger seat was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000. Updated 05/28/14*lj updated 05/30/2014
The passenger seat airbag sensor has failed for a second time. This issue was the subject of a gm recall 17036 dated may 2017. Under this recall my seat sensor failure was corrected. This car is driven very little (about 2000 miles per year average) and 99 percent of the time with no passenger. Battle field chevrolet says the warranty for the recall has expired and gave a written quote r.o. 6030264/1 dated 4/12/21 of $792.88 to repair/correct the failure. I have paper copies of the recall notice and the reference quote. This is a vehicle safety issue. A passenger would be at risk riding in the seat until repaired. The vehicle cannot pass the annual state safety inspection until corrected.this is a design flaw on the part of general motors and should again be repaired at no expense to the vehicle owner.
Service airbag light came on in vehicle.i took vehicle to dealer within 48 hours and they diagnosed it as a faulty passenger airbag sensor.i currently have no working airbags on the passenger side of the vehicle.

The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted (mike erdman in merritt island, florida) and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The passenger presence sensor light has been on for awhile. It had been 'fixed' once before when the vehicle was under warranty. The exact same sensor went out several months after warranty expiration june 2012). Concerned because this faulty (disabled) sensor will not deploy passenger-side airbag in an accident.
2007 saturn sky redline. Consumer writes in regards to passenger side airbag suppression system safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time completing the recall repair.
The airbag light on the dashboard stays on and the information center states to service air bag. I researched this problem and found that it is a common occurrence in these vehicles. Something to do with the sensors in the passenger and drivers seat. This occurs whenever the ignition is on.
Vehicle has standard transmission.service air bag warning came on during trip with passenger in passenger seat.vehicle has approximately 62,000 miles.able to extinguish warning light but returns every time ignition turned on.passenger airbag indicator will not engage.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated the reasonable amount of time had passed in order to have repairs performed for recall nhtsa campaign number: 14v047000 (air bags, electrical system) and nhtsa campaign number: 14v171000 (electrical system). The dealer stated the part was not available for repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The vehicle had not exhibited the failure. Updated 08/14/2014*l's
While driving ...noticed air bag indicator light on.......would not go off during anytime....took to dealership...they indicated this is a defect in the air bag system and should have been recalled...this is going tost a lot of money to fix
Service air bag light came on motion
In 2009, the passenger side airbag sensor began to intermittently fail to detect the presence of a passenger. The passenger restraint light sometimes registered "off", even when passenger was present. Because it was intermittent, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. In 2014, the failure became ever-present, with additional warning lights on the dashboard, the driver information system, and an audible warning chime on ignition start. Repeated calls to gm have had no results. The company line is that the car is out of warranty, and the product line has been discontinued. The cost of repair is substantial, approaching $1,000, for an airbag sensor module located beneath the passenger seat. Although a common problem for the 2007 saturn sky and pontiac solstice cars, gm says that this is not a safety issue deserving a recall.
The passenger side airbag sensor failed in my 2007 saturn sky. The car has approximately 27k miles and failed when my 7 year old son sat in the seat as we were getting ready to leave on errands. The cost to fix the sensor is prohibitively expensive and is occuring more and more frequently in this family of cars. This causes the airbag not to function with a passenger in the car. In the event of a wreck the airbag not deploying could cause the fatality of the passenger.
The recent recall on ignition switches for gm vehicles is great however there are a number of gm cars that have an additional problem affecting the deployment of the air bag beside the ignition switch.thousands of gm vehicles have an inferior passenger seat sensor that goes out and will not deploy the air bag for the passenger of the car.gm is knowledgeable of this and refuses to fix the problem for the owners.cars affected are the saturn sky, pontiac solstice, pontiac g6, chevrolet malibu and some model corvettes.the item costs consumers 1000.00 to fix and it is possible it will go out again in months after replaced.gm knows about thishave had my saturn sky tested and it is identified as the passenger seat sensor.the feds need to get gm to be more honest and include this item as a safety recall as well.it appears that since no passengers have been killed that it is not a concern.please look into this matter as well.
Passenger presence module went bad. Trips the air bag sensor to go off and can only be reset by dealer. Airbag will not deploy when a passenger is in the seat in an event of an accident. This has been a known safetyissue for years.
Service airbag message displays on the dic, and confirmation from onstar that code b0081 is present, meaning the passenger airbag will not deploy because the seat sensor has malfunctioned. This is a known and common issue with saturn skys, and my vehicle has only 9023 miles - almost all driven with no passenger the cost to fix this issue as shown from others who've had this problem is over $1000.
Was just driving along with my wife and hit a small bump in the road and right after, noticed that my service air bag light came on the dash.
The passenger air bag is not on.there seems to be a defective sensor problem in the seat. According to many posts on the internet, this a very prevalent problem with the saturn sky and the pontiac solstice.why has there not been a manufacturer's recall for this problem?it certainly is a safety hazard to the passenger.
Passanger air bag sensor.
As with every other saturn sky out there the passenger seat airbag sensor has failed.as everyone else has said , you guys are full of it ,you will wait until people die with this issue. It is a safety problem step up and recall it.
My vehilce has 39,00 miles on it. The service airbag light stays on. I contacted gm and they said no recalls at this time and to check back periodically. Therefore if we all have this problem then definitely there is a need for gm to check all of this out. And most of these vehicles has very low miles on them.
Service airbag light is on. This is a known problem with other sky owners. I have not heard about a recall from gm, even though gm has recalls for the same part on other models.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated that the passenger's side air bag warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.
Passenger presence system has failed prematurely. Issue has caused air bag light to activate and has also caused airbags to be disabled.
Had pps recall repair done and later issue returned.air bag sensor light stays on.
Pps airbag system has failed after gm dealer installed a "support" over a year ago as a recall "fix" at the time of their repair the system was operating properly...now they tell me they will not stand behind this. I was told that all parts of a recall should have been replaced at the time of the recall.... This has not happened and now i am afraid to drive my car with a passenger. Please help me. The recall on this item is #17v061000
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.
I was pulling out of my driveway when i noticed the warning light to "service airbags" i went to the dealer who said it is not a recall so far.they wanted $110.00 just to check for the problem, but did not include labor if needed. This is a safety issue and should be a recall free to owners!!

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).

Passenger airbag light stays on due to a faulty sensor module. Will not pass virginia inspection. Needs to be recalled because it is a safety issue. Owners of this car should not have to go out and pay upwards to $1000.00 to have this fixed.

I brought my 2007 saturn sky in for recall repair of passenger seat airbag presence system.... The dealership added 4 retaining clips and a reinforcement strip to the passenger seat as part of the recall. Now my airbag warning light is always on and my dashboard info system says ' service airbag'the passenger seat sensor was never replaced as the recall states it should have been.
Passenger airbag sensor is broken.i replaced it once and the entire seat once.
After a gm ignition recall on saturn sky--we received notice and took our car to the gm shop to do the work.however now the "airbag warning light" stays on---we did much research and replaced the passenger side seat cushion and sensor-----this did not result in the airbag warning light going off--we took it to the gm dealer to do a diagnostic to see why the seat/sensor replacement did not fix the problem and they state the seat is properly installed andit is not causing the airbag warning light issue---but they did not tell us what was the diagnosed problem.many saturn sky owners have written to you and are very concerned about the safety of their families, the fact they cannot pass state required safety inspections; which renders their gm product completely useless.gm has never responded to these issues for saturn sky owners or for pontiac solstice owners and the nhtsa likewise have not responded to this dangerous issue, despite numerous complaints.many other air bag issues have been addressed by your board for a variety of vehicles---why not this one?i will be approaching my state and federal representatives with this concern as well; it is a public safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately.my husband has also written to the nhtsa has never responded.will you respond now?

The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact received the recall notification related to nhtsa campaign id number 14v047000 (air bags, electrical system).the contact stated the dealer and the manufacturer werecontacted numerous times and they have no idea when the parts would be available for the repairs.the repair was not taken care of in a reasonable amount of time. Contact had not experienced a failure. The manufacturer has not been contacted.
Passenger side airbag warning light is coming on intermittently. Did some research, appears this is a "common problem" with all the sky/solstice cars due to a defective seat sensor. My car is a low mileage, garage kept car with only 42k miles on it. This should not happen. Also, if other makes and models have had this airbag sensor recalled, why has gm not recalled the sky/solstice; are the passengers safety not as important in our cars?
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph and applying the brakes, the engine stalled without warning and caused the driver to crash into another vehicle.the driver sustained injuries to the back.the vehicle was destroyed and a police report was not filed.

2007 saturn sky 25000 miles i just took my sky into the dealer for the ignition recall, and while there i had them run diagnostic test on my airbag system at the cost of 113 dollars. It had code b0081 ( passenger present module failure). This i expected from reading all the other complaints that have been filed. I have read complaints on other saturn forums, where some people have had this problem repaired at their own expense (1000 dollars), just to have it return in less than a year. I don?t think the public should have to pay such an expense for a safety problem that should be handled as a safety recall. There has been several complaints filed on this same problem.
2007 saturn sky had ignition switch replaced may 2014 at 49500 miles. December 2014 service airbag came on at 50000 miles. $ 900.00 to replace at dealership.
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!
The air bag sensor in my vehicle failed shortly after its 'bumper-to-bumper' warranty expired. 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 ($500 - $800), and that the early failure of this part is somewhat common for this vehicle.
Front impact collision, no air bag deploycar fixed, 3 months later during odd rain and fog of december in los angeles, drove off embankment, hit side, cracked rim in half, took off oil pan, front end damage, again no air bag deployment....what does need to happen to my daughter driving in order to know she is safe and air bag will deploy...a newer, safer car???

Just driving out of parking lot and service airbag light illuminated.it appears as though a very significant number of other pontiac solstice and saturn sky owners share this problem and it is apparently a $1000 fix for a known design defect.this should be a recall.
Service air bag light is constantly illuminated. Car has 31500 miles on it.
Passenger presence system (pps) sensor failed
The sensor in the passenger seat failed, giving an airbag warning indicator light.nobody was in the seat and it was not being used at the time of the failure.this is the second 2007 gm vehicle i had that failed at around the 40,000 mile mark for the same part.the passenger seat sensor is defective.i've read about many saturn sky and pontiac solstice owners having the exact same problem.dealer refuses to repair as vehicle is out of warranty by months, not miles.

The airbag detection system, which are housed in seat sensors in the passenger front seat have failed
Typical engineered problems @ low mileage: seat air bag sensor, dash info lights,check engine light and extremely noisy ac system. A recall would be nice, but the car is an orphan. (a discontinued vehicle, with little support.) safe at any speed ?
The passenger presence module failed with less than 45000 miles on the vehicle. Passenger side air bag function is disabled. This is a high failure rate item on this vehicle and its sister vehicle the pontiac solstice.the vehicle is stored indoors and well maintained without abuse. The part is available for inspection upon request
My passenger airbag light came on. When i took my vehicle to the dealer, i was told repairs were going to be close to $1,000.00!while searching for information on this, i discovered hundreds of saturn sky and pontiac solstice owners having the exact same problem. If this is a defective piece, that involves passenger safety and lives, this needs to be addressed asap. Thank you.
My vehicle's air bag light came on and i had it inspected by keyes chevrolet, a registered saturn servicer.he informed me that the passenger side airbag module was faulty and it would be about 900-1000 dollars to fix it.they didn't print me the estimate or the part number.i went to an independentmechanic who said the part was indeed around 500 dollars, but the airbag sensor should not be faulty after only 62,000 miles.my extended service plan through ford refuses to cover this extreme safety hazard.if anything ever happened to me or my passenger due to this issue i would absolutely file a lawsuit.this is not something i should have to pay nearly a thousand dollars to fix especially since i am going through a recall right now with the ignition- and they still do not have the parts in, may car could slip into drive or reverse while in park and they said it would take 2 months to get the recall parts in?this is all terrifying and unacceptable.
I had my 2007 saturn sky inspected, and the check air bag sensor came on.the vehicle has 17, 000 miles andhas never been wrecked.it lives in a garage.
Passenger sensing system for passenger side airbags shows pasgr presence module invalid data, gm dealer says they will replace only if i pay about $900. I investigated and found nhtsa action number dp16001 may 16 2016. I want to add my vehicle into this claim. This is a severe issue just because no one has been injured doesn't lessen the importance this could be handled by gm by volunteering to replace and repair when a vehicle comes to their service center for the defect
The passenger presence sensor has failed in my vehicle. Any passenger in the car faces added risk if an accident were to occur. It is prohibitively costly (my estimate from the dealership is $800) to do this repair. Given the frequency of this identical failure across this vehicle platform, i find it to be a manufacturer's defect and request their assistance.

Air bag sensor in passenger seat is defective.light comes on, indicating sensor problem.this makes it impossible to pass safety inspections in the state of virginia.looking at $800 to replace what appears to be a known problem in these cars.

Takata recall.the air bag service light came on. My vehicle has that device and it is not included on the recall. I would like to know if and when this will be added to the recall.

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????!!
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.

Airbag service needed light is on
Airbag sensor has failed for second time in two years.
General motors created a recall on january 26, 2017 for an active fault in the pps system. However, more than a year has passed and the status for the recall has remained: "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available". This timeline seems excessive.
Air bag light on all the timepassenger seat sensor defective
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.

Airbag need servicing light is always on, can't read mileage. The seat belt, or seat light stays on. These things are on at all times, starting, stopping,anddriving. I'm not sure what will happen with the airbag service light, will the airbag blow at anytime or what.
Air bag sensor for passenger airbag is faulty after ~5k miles of someone sitting in the seat. Numerous other saturn sky owners, especially 2007 owners have this problem.
Air bag activation is malfuctioning. The passenger airbag is designed to activate when someone sits in the seat. It is not doing so.

I own a 2007 saturn sky and have for 31/2 years in that time there hasnt been anybody in the passenger seat maybe a total of 4 months. My passenger seat airbag sensor has already gone bad and i know on the skyroadster and the sollstice forums there have been several more. The sensor i think is made by nippondenso and installed on the 2006-2009 sky/solstice'si dont expect gm to spend a ton of money replacing them but they could at least come up with a mod so the airbag is on all the time or go after nippondenso for a inferior product. I really think they should last longer then a few months and want gm to do something about it!!thank you [xxx] email [xxx]cell [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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!
Air bag sensor located in passenger seat, gm part #19124219 was defective and disabled air bags. This part is routinely defective in the kappa-model roadsters, saturn sky and pontiac solstice.
Sometimes the passenger airbag does not turn on when there is an adult person seated in the seat. Also has an oil leak at the differential.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. While driving approximately various speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated continuously.

Had my ignition switch replaced for a recall on 7/3/14. On july 25th i had my first passenger since the ignition switch work enter the vehicle.as soon as the person seated themselves on the passenger seat i received a warning on the information center of the car stating 'service airbag soon' and the airbag indicator showed that the airbag was 'off' even though someone was seated there. This was not a 'one time incident, and has not resolved itself and continues to be this way.after some research, i found this is not an isolated incident on this model and year. This is a safety concern and should be a recall from the manufacturer (general motors) to replace the faulty parts instead of charging me and the numerous others with the same issue upwards of one thousand dollars to repair this.
The saturn sky was purchased with a failed sensor on the passenger side seat for the airbag.upon research i discovered that this is a known issue with the saturn sky and pontiac solstice.it affects multiple years and gm has known about it since it started happening.yet upon review there has not been a recall issued for this problem.this is clearly a safety issue in regards to the safety of the passenger in a two seat car.gm is now issuing recalls for almost everything and i have read multiple reports to your organization in regards to the airbag sensor problem, but gm does nothing.when is this issue going to be taken seriously?i wish i had the statistics on how many have been injured or killed due to this failed sensor so i could include that.

My car displays "service air bag" every time i start my car.the passenger airbag light says "off" whether there is anyone in the passenger seat or not.i took it to the dealer and they do not warranty this part.it annoys me every time i start my car!please recall airbag sensors!!!
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!!!!
The air bag seat sensor in my vehicle failed and any passenger in the car faces risk if an accident were to occur. It is my understanding that the owner's cost to fix this item is prohibitive ($700 - $1000), and that the early failure of this part is somewhat common for this vehicle. I think because of all the complaints about this it is a problem and may cause someone to get really hurt. Left defective could be really serious to a passenger.
Car indicated that the air bags were not functioning
For 7 months the warning light on the passenger side air baghas been on.i called onstar to test the car and they said to to take the car in immediately.i spent $1000.00 repairing the air bag.there have been several hundred complaints about the same issue with other saturn sky owners.
My passenger pressance control module came on after my passenger leaned forward in my car while at a stop light. It now comes on everything i start my car whether i have a passenger or not. My local gmc quote 889 to fix this and even he said that's pretty expensive (note that the quoted price included labor).
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 side air bag seat sensor defective
These cars have a problem with the passenger seat sensor, which turns on and off the passenger side airbag. While gm did issue a recall about a year ago, the parts used were a simple "band-aid" fix. My car was repaired a little over a year ago, and has done 5000 miles since, and the "repaired" part has failed again.gm is refusing to fix this under recall and/or warranty and the cost to fix this is $1000! this is a safety issue, and it should be covered, or the recall should be active once again! absolutely ridiculous! this is a common problem with other saturn sky and pontiac solstice owners as well.

At times the passenger air bag indicator shows off when a passenger is in the passenger seat. This has been happening for years. Most of the time the indicator is on when a passenger is in the car and when the indicator is off i have tried to drive to the nearest saturn dealer but the indicator then shows on when i get to the dealer(which was 50 miles away). Finally when the recent gm ignition switch recall directed me to a closer gm dealer i brought my car in and told them about the air bag issue. For two days they could not get the air bag indicator to show off with a passenger in the passenger seat, however on the third day the indicator showed off.they told me it was the air bag sensor in the seat. To replace the part($500.00) and labor cost it would cost me $800.00. They told me other owners have had this problem. Since this is a safety issue, i feel this should also be a recall item.
Received a "service air bag" code on my dic output.contacted my local service center and verified that there were no safety recalls for the failed passenger present system module associated with the airbag system.performed lots of research and discovered that this is an extremely prevalent and common problem with virtually all models and years of the pontiac solstice and saturn sky.i am highly concerned to also discover that the passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of an accident due to the defective part not detecting the presence of a passenger.
Passabger airbag sensor stopped working after a friend weight 185 sat in the seat at 64k miles
My service air bag light has come on and will not go off. I have read many forums and see where a safety recall was issued for repairs due to this being a two seat vehicle # 17v061000, yet i did not get this recall. My vehicle will not pass inspection and i need this safety recall issue repaired at no cost to me. Please help with information as to where i need to go and how to get this issue repaired thank you
Upon entering the vehicle on friday, may 16th, 2014 i noticed the service airbag soon light and notification were displayed on the dic. After startup and vehicle system check the lights remained on and will not go out.
The passenger seat airbag sensor has failed in my car.this has resulted in a condition in which the passenger air bag is permanently disabled, a potential large safety hazard.after researching this issue, it appears as though this is a common problem among the saturn sky and pontiac solstice cars, and there is no outstanding recall to remedy this issue.there are many of these cars on the road today that are operating without a functional passenger air bag, putting passengers are significantly greater risk for injury in the event of a collision.given the prevalence of this issue, its severity, and the cost to repair, i feel as though a safety recall is should be considered for these models.

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.
The airbag light lit up, the dealer checked it out and said it was the passenger seat occupancy sensor. Said it was the same one that was recalled on cadillac cts but was t recalled on the saturn ! i also check with the cadillac dealership that the car came fromand they said the same thing! i looked online and found this to be a common complaint, sent an e-mail to gm and received no response! thanks for any help.

The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated while driving. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v061000 (air bags). The part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was taken to tom henry chevrolet (58860 william flynn hwy, bakerstown, pa 15007), but the part was not available for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 15,151. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
2007 saturn sky redline sittingat an idle passenger sat down in the seat and service airbag light illuminated, dic showed "service airbag system", passenger airbag indicator light showed off. Upon taking to dealer problem was determined to be the passenger presence system (pps) sensor failed. The sensor failed do to the flexing of the sensor as passengers got in and out of the vehicle not from neglect by the owner. The total is $1125.00 with part shipping install and zeroing of new the sensor. This is a very common problem with the saturn sky and pontiac solstice, there has been reports of the replacement sensors failing in as little as a year. When this part fails the passenger side airbag will not deploy causing a significant rise in the potential injury of the passenger during a crash. With the abundance of this problem it an obvious defect of the part the only way an owner can stop this from happening is to not have anyone or anything in the passenger seat to avoid flexing of the sensor. The price for the repair, the potential injury and how often this is happening, i believe is a valid reason for a safety recall and replacement of the sensor by the manufacturer or dealer.
Air bag passenger present module in passenger seat has failed giving an error code. This is a known problem on saturn skys as the forums have several reports of similar failures. I see that bmw has just issued a recall for these sensors. The saturn sky and pontiac solstice should also be recalled.
Failure of passenger seat seat sensor, once covered under extended warranty, and now has failure again.car has less than 25000 miles on it. Pps failed first time at 8100 miles
Airbag warning indicator stays lit. On thedic and cluster. Noticed this about 2 weeks ago. This is a major safety hazard that needs to be addressed before someone getskilled. Assuming no onehas yet. Airbags will not operate when warning lights are on.
The passenger airbag sensor came on. This should be part of the gm recall before somebody gets hurt or killed.
Sensor in passenger seat.
Air bag warning lights up on my dash and my passenger seat air bag indicator does not light. The warning light comes on as soon as i turn the key on and will not clear. This happens as soon as the key is turned on. I have seen it disappear and the reappear while driving. I have read that this is a very large problem with this car. Please help....also, does this car have airbags that need to be replaced with all of the airbag problems of late?
The air bag seat sensor (pps) in my vehicle failed only 12 mos after its 'bumper-to-bumper' warranty expired. 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 ($700 - $1000), and that the early failure of this part is somewhat common for this vehicle.

Faulty airbag sensor, will not pass va state safety inspection. I have gotten numerous tickets due to this issue. Need a recall today!!!!!! this is just ridiculous.
My wife's 2007 saturn sky passenger service air bag indicator and air bag warning lightis on and stays on.i was told unless this is fixed (for a cost of about $900.00) the air bag will not deploy in case of an accident. The gm dealer that looked at the sky said "passenger seat sensor is out again."not good that gm does not care ifyoung kids that ride with their grand mother gets fatally injured in a car accident. (no air bag will deploy). Maybe a gm executive would care more if one oftheir kids or grand kids would be riding in a car that has a faulty air bag issue. This issue is happening on most of the saturn sky vehicles.just give a recall - do the right thing!
This vehicle had a recall for a faulty switch under the passenger seat that was to tell the air bag a passenger was in the seat. I completed the recall at genillini motors in woodbine, nj in april of 2018. The replacement switch has failed (6/2019). The system, again, no longer detects a passenger and i suspect the air bag will not deploy. This car has had less 1000 miles of use since the repair and there is rarely a passenger in the passenger seat. Both the passenger air bag detection light and the air bag dash light go on and off randomly. Both usually are on when the car starts but sometime goes off when there is a passenger in the passenger seat and the car is moving. I contacted gm and got no where with them. I've also researched the problem and have found similar complaints on saturn sky blogs and car reviews, including gms website. Attach is a screen shot of my chat with gm
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v061000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue.

The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
2007 saturn sky recently, a light came on the dashboard which read "service air bag."*mwthe 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.
While driving on surface streets with a passenger, adashboard warning light indicating a problem with the airbag system came on. I contacted onstar and had them run a diagnostic: i was told they couldn't tell what was wrong and there was no recall for anything to do with the airbag system. I find it reprehensible that this recall is a year old and 1- i was never contacted about it and 2- gm *still* has it listed as "recall status: incomplete. Remedy not yet available"
Air bag passenger sensor stopped working unexpectedly.i had the module replaced by a gm dealership and had to pay complete cost.one year later the new module broke once again and the airbag sensor is not working meaning that if a person is in the seat the airbag will not deploy if an accident was to happen and will most likely increase the chances of a death because of faulty parts by gm.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated the service air bag light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic who performed a diagnostic test which located the failure within the passenger air bag sensor. The manufacturer offered some assistance with the repair cost; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 74,955.
My granddaughter entered the passenger side of my saturn sky with her knees first on the seat and the air bag warning is now lit. I see on line hundreds of these same complaints and yet no recalls. More off our government not protecting its citizens.
Passenger air bag light came on--had it checked at different places -they say it's a sensor in the air bag &seat -and that there is a recall but haven't decided how to fix it .i'm scared to drive anyone in the car because of the problem.please help get this problem fixed-thank you
Revs forward by reving forward i mean that when i come to a stop the car goes forward many times until i complete a stop and everytime that happens engine light goes on. I have already change the brakes and still problem continues. Air bag i have fixed it when it when off and spend around $1100 in total and months later when on again. I really dont have the money to fix it anymore so please help and fix my car.
Air bags not working,taked for repair,to dealer,repairs never done,no parts.after a month in dealer i taked back.
Air bag sensor are malfunctioning on this model car and are not being addressed by gm. If air bags fail to deploy during a crash passengers could by fatally injured.
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.
Getting check airbag light. Appears issue with passenger side airbag sensor.

I just bought this saturn and the next week the passenger air bag light came on. I have done research a lot of people with this issue have complained and it is expensive to repair. There are numerous reports of people with the passenger airbag and saying it should be recalled. I agree because there was no reason for it to need serviced yet.
2007 saturn sky redline at about 20000 miles service airbag light came on while passenger seat was occupied driving on highway about 50mph. Light came on intermittently whether seat was occupied or not. Now seems to stay on continually.
The passenger air bag sensor has been intermittent for the last year and on a recent trip failed to function during actual driving, disabling the air bag, turned on the "service airbag" display and light and would not clear. This occurred several times and then became permanent. The seat was occupied and it was a intermittent failure that became permanent. Since the fairlure occurred while away from home and on the weekend, took the vehicle to a shop who read the code (b0081) tried to further diagnose the failure and then indicated the most probable cause was the ppu unit (whatever that is) there were none available locally so drove the car home (columbus oh to dallas, tx) and parked it being careful with my driving as my wife was in the passenger seat. Doing internet searches indicated that this is a common problem with the car and gm has refused to acknowledge it because the car is no longer in production even though the problem existed during the actual production cycle. Why does g?m not recall the car with an obvioussafety defect that can affect lives??
Passenger airbag does not respond to whether someone is sitting in the seat and the airbag light is on on dash.
As i was thedriving down the highway at 65 mph, the airbag light came on.the service airbag message came up and i noticed that the passenger airbag on/off light would alternate from on/off. The passenger was just sitting there in the seat properly.after i stopped another passenger got in and still stayed illuminated.
Air bag warning light came on and passenger side air bag light says off.this is the second time.the first time the passenger seat sensor was replaced under warranty.
2007 saturn sky traveling in excess of 50 mph with traffic south on rt2 in edgewater md in the right lane of a 6 lane divided highway. A 2007 kia traveling east across the 6 lanes of traffic failed to stop for stop sign. Sky hit kia head on in to the passenger side of the kia centered on the pillar between the front and back doors. Air bags in the 2007 sky failed to deploy.
I have a 2007 saturn sky redline and crashed it.onstar dispatched the call as an "airbag deployed accident".the airbags did not deploy. I bruised my rib cage badly from slamming into the steering wheel, even though it was a low mileage, frontal impact.the car is still in repair.
Passenger airbag indicator light off while adult passenger in seat.problem duplicated at dealership numerous times.replaced seat airbag module, replaced inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic cover and or pad front seat cushion, checked for wire chafing at kick panels, replaced module kit; told by dealership andengineers that vehicle was operating normally.
Service airbags soon warning came on indicating a problem with the passive restraint system.the pressure sensor on the passenger seat was diagnosed as bad.now the passenger side airbag is shown as off and does not detect the seat belt status.it is questionable whether the passenger airbag will deploy now in the event of a crash.this is a safety issue that could have dire consequences.upon investigating, this a common problem with the saturn sky and pontiac solstice models.

Consumer states the sensor has failed and the airbag and perhaps the seat belt mechanism will not activate *tgwthe consumer was informed it would cost $600 to replace the sensor. Also, the emergency brake would not hold. The consumer was informed the rear brake calipers needed to be replaced at a cost of $ 840.

Air bag sensor for passenger airbag is faulty after ~5k miles of someone sitting in the seat. Numerous other saturn sky owners, especially 2007 owners have this problem.
The saturn skys have the same electrical problem that the hummers did that were recalled under nhtsa campaign number: xxxxxxxxx. The resistor on the blower motor gets hot and melts. Further, they are the same parts.*dtalso, it is known and continually discussed online:https://www.skyroadster.com/forums/f2/fan-blower-resistor-replacement-95885/https://www.skyroadster.com/forums/f2/why-did-my-blower-motor-resistor-wireing-harnas-hot-wire-burn-off-41356/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/buyers-guide-other-roadster/consumer stated in the affected vehicles, the connector module that controls the blower motor speed for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system may overheat.

2007 saturn sky. Consumer writes in regards to electrical problem. *ldthe consumer stated the instrument panel would chime for different icon alerts. The instrument panel would also go blank.
Hvac blower motor stopped working via the control knob. Through online forums & repair guides, i did some troubleshooting to determine which component i might need to order (i.e. Fuse, relay, blower motor assembly, blower resistor, etc). During that research, many others noted that the blower resistor is known to become defective, and that melting of the resistor & the harness connector are common. This is exactly the situation i found, and it is not at all unreasonable to conclude that this could have easily resulted in a fire. These same parts are shared by the pontiac solstice and the hummer h3 (for which, i believe, a recall was issued). The parts to fix this problem are not overly expensive & readily available -- and the replacement process is not difficult. What is difficult is to think this is a known problem which can (& has) caused vehicle fires, and yet no recall or official notice has been issued to warn vehicle owners.
2007 saturn sky.consumer writes in regards to ignition key defect recall.the consumer stated he had problems removing the key the from the ignition. The defect was eventually fixed.
The passenger presence sensor light has been on for awhile. It had been 'fixed' once before when the vehicle was under warranty. The exact same sensor went out several months after warranty expiration june 2012). Concerned because this faulty (disabled) sensor will not deploy passenger-side airbag in an accident.
After a gm ignition recall on saturn sky--we received notice and took our car to the gm shop to do the work.however now the "airbag warning light" stays on---we did much research and replaced the passenger side seat cushion and sensor-----this did not result in the airbag warning light going off--we took it to the gm dealer to do a diagnostic to see why the seat/sensor replacement did not fix the problem and they state the seat is properly installed andit is not causing the airbag warning light issue---but they did not tell us what was the diagnosed problem.many saturn sky owners have written to you and are very concerned about the safety of their families, the fact they cannot pass state required safety inspections; which renders their gm product completely useless.gm has never responded to these issues for saturn sky owners or for pontiac solstice owners and the nhtsa likewise have not responded to this dangerous issue, despite numerous complaints.many other air bag issues have been addressed by your board for a variety of vehicles---why not this one?i will be approaching my state and federal representatives with this concern as well; it is a public safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately.my husband has also written to the nhtsa has never responded.will you respond now?
Passenger seat airbag warning light stays off, does not go to on position when seat is occupied.service airbag soon warning light appears on instrument panel. Had system diagnosed , found that the pass. Seat presence module is faulty. And needs to be replaced,. This is a critical safety issue and not, an isolated issue with these vehicles and should be recalled by gm and replaced at no cost to me.please do the right thing andcorrect this issue!!

Driving 35 miles an hour i noticed passenger side airbag warning light appeared on dash, when i took car to gm dealer they said it would cost 900 dollars to replace.
Service air bag warning is activated due to a defective sensor which results in air bag not functioning properly or being deployed in the event of an accident.this is an obvious safety concern that should be addressed by recall.

Since september the dealer saturn of union, nj has been trying to repair my convertible top on my car. The top does not lock in correctly, there has been numerous replacements on the 2007 saturn sky tops for defects, so many that saturn has put a restraint on the dealers replacing tops. My car has been there 6 times time and still it is not repaired. I have a case with saturn customer service and yet still no repair, the top not locking in correctly is dangerous an i am afraid of the top breaking free while driving. If a corporation stops replacement due tomany replacements something is wrong, they know the type two roofs are much better and safer yet they are now reluctant to replace them.

After i parked my saturn sky in my daughter-in-law's driveway for approximately 15 minutes, my son-in-law and i heard a loud "pop" from my saturn sky. About 5 minutes later, my saturn sky drifted backwards out of the driveway (slight downhill direction) and into the street. My son-in-law ran after the car and caught up to it just as stopped drifting backwards uphill in the street and began drifting forward in a downhill direction. He was able to reach into the car (the convertible top was down) and set the emergency brake. While doing so, the car ran over his foot injuring his toe. Thank god there were no children playing in the driveway! the emergency brake was initially set since the driveway does have a slight slope towards the street, but after cooling down for approximately 15 minutes, the emergency brake released.

I delivered the vehicle to bill fox chevy for servicing as directed by gm (saturn) customer service case number [xxx] for grinding noise and fluid leaking on the 2007 saturn sky (21433 miles).there was a recall ( 07v58900) for a faulty seal on this models differential unit. It showed the recall was handled on april 29,2008 by lakeside of saturn which i did not recall. After investigation by the dealer it was agreed that the differential was grinding and the left differential/axle seal was leaking fluid. The repairs were made and had to pay $ 455.63 for the repairs on this defective designed part. Gm denied my request for covering this under the recall notice. This is my wife's vehicle only driven in the summer. She did not know there was an issue. I drove it and noticed right away and found the recall and contacted gm(saturn) cs. I stopped my wife from driving because the recall stated the differential could lockup and cause an accident which is a huge safety issue. Also i had a 100k warranty on the drivetrain which they said hit 5 yrs in august 2012. I believe gm should be held responsible for this recall on the total differential ext/int parts.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Was on interstate 97 in maryland doing around 65 mph. When i heard and felt loud pop noise from the rear of the 2007 saturn sky and pulled onto the side of the highway while the cars on the road were flying by me at a high rate of speed ( that i was scared to get out of the car ) did get the car home and contacted saturn ( what a waste of time ) to try and get some type of help on the repair. Took car to the local dealer jba chevrolet and was told that therear differential had blown out and the repair could be between $2800-$3500.i have seen on the web sites that this is a common problem with this type of rear in saturn and other gm cars. I'm lucky that the rear did not lock up this could of been a big problem. Please pass this on.
The limited slip differential failed on my 2007 saturn sky.the failure of this component caused the car to suddenly and violently fishtail while making a left turn at normal highway speeds.the car subsequently smashed into the center median, then bounced into the adjacent lane where it collided with a large suv.the suv rolled over my hood and flipped over on its top.fortunately no one was injured.the accident resulted in the suv being totaled and severe front end damage to my car.the failure in the differential was first detected by the body repair technician and later verified by a qualified gm dealer.it is now being replaced under warranty.condition:weather was sunny and clear.no oil or water on the roadway.safety recall nhtsa 07v589000,power train axle assembly axle shaft seal, was performed approximately 6 months earlier.
I purchased a used saturn sky 2007 vehicle. July 26th 2016. I noticed immediatelythe same day as a matter of fact a noise from the back end. I took care back a and they put grease in diferential.. But after a few days it was worsethan ever. I purchased the extendedwarrantyplan. After they tried looking at my car. I called my warrantycompany and askif they could recommenda servicecenterto take my car to have it serviced. Which i then proceeded to do. And my vehicleis still there. They sent a used diferentialthat was bad. I asked the warrantyrepresentative at that time to send me a new one which my contract states clearlyi can have. But once again they sent another bad used one. And then another. Along with two others that were never delivered. And i've been offered a rental for 8 days total. And it is now oct 18th.2016. I have no car. Gm has this part now on national back order. And does not know when a part will be available. I attemptedto contactdifferent machine shops to see if it can be rebuilt they have tried to find parts to rebuild it there are none. I feel i have done everythingpossibleto fix this vehicle. And it's a lemon.
Sometimes the passenger airbag does not turn on when there is an adult person seated in the seat. Also has an oil leak at the differential.

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!
Airbag need servicing light is always on, can't read mileage. The seat belt, or seat light stays on. These things are on at all times, starting, stopping,anddriving. I'm not sure what will happen with the airbag service light, will the airbag blow at anytime or what.
Typical engineered problems @ low mileage: seat air bag sensor, dash info lights,check engine light and extremely noisy ac system. A recall would be nice, but the car is an orphan. (a discontinued vehicle, with little support.) safe at any speed ?
Passenger seat airbag sensor failed. Vehicle was stationary. Warning on dash.
Passenger presence module-service air bag warning is activated and comes on periodically due to a defective sensor which results in air bag not functioning properly or being deployed in the event of an accident. This is an obvious safety concern that gm is aware of and has been recalled in other model cars except for the saturn sky and pontiac solstice. It is a major safety concern and one that should be addressed by recall.
Airbag sensor has failed for second time in two years.
The passenger seat airbag sensor has failed in my car.this has resulted in a condition in which the passenger air bag is permanently disabled, a potential large safety hazard.after researching this issue, it appears as though this is a common problem among the saturn sky and pontiac solstice cars, and there is no outstanding recall to remedy this issue.there are many of these cars on the road today that are operating without a functional passenger air bag, putting passengers are significantly greater risk for injury in the event of a collision.given the prevalence of this issue, its severity, and the cost to repair, i feel as though a safety recall is should be considered for these models.
After a gm ignition recall on saturn sky--we received notice and took our car to the gm shop to do the work.however now the "airbag warning light" stays on---we did much research and replaced the passenger side seat cushion and sensor-----this did not result in the airbag warning light going off--we took it to the gm dealer to do a diagnostic to see why the seat/sensor replacement did not fix the problem and they state the seat is properly installed andit is not causing the airbag warning light issue---but they did not tell us what was the diagnosed problem.many saturn sky owners have written to you and are very concerned about the safety of their families, the fact they cannot pass state required safety inspections; which renders their gm product completely useless.gm has never responded to these issues for saturn sky owners or for pontiac solstice owners and the nhtsa likewise have not responded to this dangerous issue, despite numerous complaints.many other air bag issues have been addressed by your board for a variety of vehicles---why not this one?i will be approaching my state and federal representatives with this concern as well; it is a public safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately.my husband has also written to the nhtsa has never responded.will you respond now?
Driving 35 miles an hour i noticed passenger side airbag warning light appeared on dash, when i took car to gm dealer they said it would cost 900 dollars to replace.
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.

Upon entering the vehicle on friday, may 16th, 2014 i noticed the service airbag soon light and notification were displayed on the dic. After startup and vehicle system check the lights remained on and will not go out.
Passenger seat airbag warning light stays off, does not go to on position when seat is occupied.service airbag soon warning light appears on instrument panel. Had system diagnosed , found that the pass. Seat presence module is faulty. And needs to be replaced,. This is a critical safety issue and not, an isolated issue with these vehicles and should be recalled by gm and replaced at no cost to me.please do the right thing andcorrect this issue!!
I brought my 2007 saturn sky in for recall repair of passenger seat airbag presence system.... The dealership added 4 retaining clips and a reinforcement strip to the passenger seat as part of the recall. Now my airbag warning light is always on and my dashboard info system says ' service airbag'the passenger seat sensor was never replaced as the recall states it should have been.
At about 31,000 miles while driving down the road with a passenger the airbag off light flashed on and off several times finally ending up off with a service airbag message.was traveling about 65 miles per hour on freeway.
The airbag for the passenger no longer activates, this seems to be an issue with thepassenger presence system and it seems to be happening to a lot of sky owners.
Passabger airbag sensor stopped working after a friend weight 185 sat in the seat at 64k miles
The sensor in the passenger seat no longer works! sensor light is continuous on! my car is gently used w/under 20,000 miles on it! it is a safety hazard i feel the manufacturer is responsible for.the problem started 06/14 but yourcalendar wouldn't accept the date.
Passenger presence module went bad. Trips the air bag sensor to go off and can only be reset by dealer. Airbag will not deploy when a passenger is in the seat in an event of an accident. This has been a known safetyissue for years.
Airbag need servicing light is always on, can't read mileage. The seat belt, or seat light stays on. These things are on at all times, starting, stopping,anddriving. I'm not sure what will happen with the airbag service light, will the airbag blow at anytime or what.

My car was involved with the recall for the ignition. I did have this fixed by a dealer as directed. Soon afterthis was fixed my car would randomly not start. My car was towed to the dealer who charged me hundreds to trouble shoot this issue with no resolve. After this happened again i brought it to another shop who also charged me hundreds and could not find the issue either. I heard you were looking into this problem with the recall fix and wanted to let you know this has happened to me as well.
With there being no resolution to the recall, it's causing a huge hit on my credit score.i'm not sure why that would be, but we need to get it resolved asap
Sensor in passenger seat.
The fluid leaked out of the rear differential causing a thumping and grinding noise in the rear differential when making right and left turns from a complete stop. I believe the seal was replaced but has failed again and caused damage to the rear differential and now unsafe to drive. The car has 30,000 miles which is relatively low for that year. The car and is used primarily during the summer months as i live in a semi northern state.
Our office has previously filed a complaint in regard to a 2007 saturn sky that we believe is defective.my client's name is matt castro and the pending odi number is 10237967.on september 10, 2008 general motors sent out an accident investigator to conduct an inspection of the vehicle.upon completion of the inspection, mr. Briscoe noted something peculiar on the sdm information box.mr. Briscoe, the accident investigator, found that the information given on the box stated the my client matt castro did not have his seat belt on at the time the accident occurred.however, police reports and police statements provide that my client had to have his safety belt cut away to extract him from the vehicle.this discrepancy is of monumental importance if we are to rely on the accuracy of the sdm devices.sdm devices main purpose is to provide accurate data at the time an accident occurs.a defective device failing to record accurate data compromises all further investigations of the vehicle.it is our hope that you address the defective sdm devices on the saturn sky with urgency as this problem could only magnify should other incidents arise.
