Air Bag Light On problems of the 2007 Saturn Aura - part 1

I have owned this 2007 Saturn Aura since 2017 and the service airbag light will come on intermittently whether there is a front passenger or not, sometimes the light will remain on for the entire time I'm using the car that day and then other times the light come on for a brief period and on rare occasions the light will remain off that entire day. It doesn't seem to matter if the car is in motion or at what speed this occurs, it seems to be totally random. This has been happening as long as I have owned the car that currently has 109,00 miles on it. As far as I know this car has never been in any accidents.

While driving with a passenger the service airbag light comes on than goes off and will not register that a passenger is in the front seat.

Airbag service light on and passenger airbag light shows no one in seat when it is occupied.

Head lights constantly go out. Air bag light is on.

At about 80k miles the passenger airbag occupied light would alternate between on and off while driving. At about 93k miles the service airbag light comes on and the service airbag message on the information center is on. Reset the message and the red service airbag light remains "on". The passenger seat occupied light indicates "off".

Passenger air bag on/off indicator intermittently turns to "off" even with a passenger weighing in excess of 150 pounds in the seat.

Due to the dangerous nature of this failure, there should be a required recall from gm.

2007 Saturn Aura. Consumer writes in regards to air bag light comes on intermittently and other vehicle problems. The consumer stated the dealer told him to ignore the light or cancel it using the button on the steering wheel. The dealer stated there was nothing wrong with the air bag itself. The problem persisted and eventually, the dealer stated the entire passenger seat needed to be replaced. In June of 2013, when the consumer stopped for gas, the vehicle would not re-start. The vehicle had to be towed 150 miles to the local dealer. The problem was diagnosed as an ignition module. A few days ago, the driver's seat belt would beep 5 times and then a red light on the dash would blink, even though the driver had his seat belt on. Driving along a couple of miles, the beeping noise returned, as well as the red light. The problem was intermittent, but continued on for the remainder of the ride.

The heated seats comes on its own on both driver and passenger sides. The passenger seat belt light comes on when no one is in the front passenger seat. The service air bag light illuminates often when starting the car and when I turn car off and restart it goes out. . . But lately it stays on longer.

The steering on the car is very tight, meaning it does not turn smoothly. I feel every and any sort of bump the car goes over. When turning it feels as if the car is scrubbing the payment, not a thorough movement. There is also something loose or sounds as if something in the interior or under the hood is rattling or is may come apart. The dealership I purchased it from is saying that the sway bar and end links need to be replaced or tightened. Also, my air bag light popped on saying it needed to be serviced. . . . I have no idea about this alert on my display!!they explained to me it happens over time, however from reading other Saturn car owner's reviews this is a recurring complaint amongst many others. It is or was the top luxury sedan when it came out and it would appear the suspension would be a lot smoother on a sedan. Unhappy with results and I feel the history of car was not revealed at time of purchase. The repair bill estimate is around 500. 00 and that is a lot of expense. . . . There is another review referencing to the struts or type of strut to use should be the one made by chevy. Frustrated and confused in memphis,TN!!.

My passenger air bag light came on. When I took it to the dealership they indicated it was a bad bag that looked like it had been used. The car has never been in any kind of wreck.

My dealership wants $700. 00 to replace and I feel it should be fixed by gm for putting a faulty air bag in the car.

I have heard that the repair is well over $1,000. 00 because they have to take your passenger seat apart to get to the problem, & the labor costs alone are phenomenal! if so many people are having the same problem, why isn't this a recall??? air bags are very important, & if mine don't work, I think I should get the cost to fix it (from gm) to pay for the problem!!!.

I own a 2007 Saturn Aura with 90,000 miles on it, the service air bag light and chime has come on repeatedly in the past year. Service dept stated no problem. .

I have an extended warranty on this vehicle and hope it is covered as the repair is estimated to be about 1000, more or less.

I purchased this Saturn with 32k on it, two days after having the vehicle it started overheating and the air conditioner went out. I contacted the dealership because it was still under factory warranty. It took them a week to fix the vehicle because they had to completely rewire a few things. One month after that happened, I noticed when I turned I felt a popping in the floor board on the driver side. I again contacted the dealer and they had me bring the vehicle in and stated something was loose in the axel shaft and they ¿fixed¿ the popping by tightening it up. Three months following the above events, I noticed the popping started again. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they replaced the front ball joint, rack, and pinion. I drove away from the dealership and immediately had to turn around and return the vehicle because the problem continued. At that point they had the vehicle for five months straight. They say they replaced everything from the steering column down. Every time I called for an update they always had a different answer. I have replaced the rotors on this car 3 times now and it only has 60k. The service airbag light continues to stay on. The dealership says they replaced the airbag coil but yet it continues to come on. Now the transmission is slipping constantly in 5th and 6th gear. This car has been the worst car I have ever owned. I will never purchase another gm product again. I have had nothing but issues with this car since the day I brought it home. My husband was called to deploy to iraq and we had a 2 week old baby so we had to get a bigger car before he left. We only had 3 days when he was called up to leave (he was inactive reserve and was called up). I did not have time to research this car before we bought it. If I could do it all over again I would never even consider this car. Reading into it now, it seems a lot of people have had the same issues with this car.

On board computer sends message to "service airbag," passenger air bag light then proceeds to indicate that air bag is off -with or without person in seat. Happens intermediately. Have taken to dealer, but where told they could not replicate or did not have a "code " to reset and would have to just "see if it keeps happening. " consider this dangerous if in an accident.
