Air Bag Light On problems of the 2007 Saturn Aura - part 2

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. When the vehicle was started, the esc and brake indicators illuminated. The contact also stated that the air bag indicator flashed on and off. The dealer diagnosed that the harness needed to be weathered. The contact did not remember the second part that the dealer replaced. The failures recurred every year since 2007, at the onset of winter. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 150.

My car was brand new when purchased. My car has a passenger airbag indicator. The airbag only turns on if there is someone in the passenger seat. On occasion, when there is indeed a passenger in the seat, the airbag does not turn on. Saturn was contacted about this issue through their customer assistance center via there website a couple of weeks after I purchased the car. Saturn told me to refer to my owner's manual for information on child safety seats. They did not offer to test the indicator or to look at my vehicle. Why wait until someone is injured or killed before an investigation is launched.

The vehicles has had a persistent problem with the airbag system, despite multiple replacements of the module allegedly responsible. The passenger airbag indicator will toggle to an off status despite the presence of an adult passenger, this behavior will occur without notice and with no change in the passenger's position. Additionally if there is no passenger the primary driver dashboard and information center will indicate a problem with the main airbag system illuminating the airbag icon, along with a message to "service air bag". This will occur on vehicle start or shortly thereafter. The red airbag light will at random times turn off, only to come on a few moments later. It may stay off for days or weeks at a time but will ultimately return.

We have owned a 2007 Saturn Aura, VIN [xxx] since it was new. When it had about 5000 miles the service air bag light came on and the passenger air bag went out even though there was a passenger in the seat. A few minutes later the light went out. This would happen off and on but the dealership could never find a code. Recently it began doing it again quiet often and was really intermittent. I tried onstar diagnostics but every time I'd push the onstar button the light would go out and they could never find a code. I took it to our chevy dealership on Friday and they called me today saying it's a bad passenger detection module. . Read more...

Only 2 months old, passenger air bag light, would read off when a normal size adult was in the seat. Also "on star" reported air bag inoperative. Always had brake problems with rear pads wearing out way before the front. Steering wheel lock does not lock, and I noted this after 2 years, as my wife is the major driver of the car. I was so sick of the dealer, I replaced the master cylinder, rotors, with brembo, and used quality pads. The government should have gotten after gm! there are many complaints!.
