Front Seat Heater/cooler problems of the 2007 Saturn Aura

Identical to the recent airbag related recall initiated at Chrysler, gm has had the same issue on multiple platforms, most notably the Saturn Aura xr. My vehicle is a 2007 edition. I first noticed the issue on my vehicle in 2010. First, the passenger sensing system indicated that no passenger was present. Second, the "service airbag soon" icaw would annunciate, sometimes while in motion and sometimes while stationary, when this happened traveling on the interstate I got quite flustered. I called the service center and took it to the last Saturn service center in fort worth where they told me that I'd most assuredly flooded my passenger compartment (never drove the car into a body of water--confused???). The fix was to replace the acm, the passenger sensing mat, and the seat heater--total cost ~$1k. But my car was still under warranty! this problem continued to happen and another dealership could never isolate the problem. Fast forward to now when I contacted gm about my concerns since nobody else could help me. . . Gm stated that there was nothing they could do because my car was out of warranty. I asked the gm p. O. C. About the TSB I had found related to this issue. I stated my concerns for a TSB related to air bags over a 7 year period. Yes, you read that right. Gm has had a TSB related to my problem, and the same airbag related recall Chrysler just started, for 7 years!!! please assist myself and other consumers from being hurt by this. . .

I have had a number of issues with my 2007 Saturn Aura. I have had my dash go out for no apparent reason Saturn couldn't find out why it just started working again. I estimating around 13,000 miles I had to have my thermostat replaced. The car went dead and wouldn't start had to be towed Saturn said the battery wouldn't hold a charge. My biggest complaint is the heated seats. While on my way from work at 11pm on a 4 lane highway Dec 9 2007 the driver side seat caught fire burned a hole all the way through the seat a little bit bigger than a quarter. While trying to exit the highway I was unable to sit in the seat. While I was able to safely stop the vehicle I did panic my rear was burned but thank god traffic was light. When I turn the heater off and the car a police officer was on the scene and checked the car over before the fire truck arrived. He stated to the onstar help that the fire did burn from the inside out it did smell like electrical and that it appeared to have suffocated out after the heater was turned off. Saturn could only tell me that the seat would be replaced and that engineers would be called. I thank god this wasn't worse but I was left very traumatized and tried to speak to the owner of the dealership but he did not return my call. My Saturn experience is really taking a downward dive.
