Passenger airbag issue where the passenger awareness system had a fault. It disabled my air bags. For a couple weeks I rode around not knowing all my air bags were disabled. Dealer charged around $900 to replace sensor! I felt like I had to choose between safety and spending a ton of money.

1. Power steering: power steering goes out nearly every time I drive the vehicle. Saturn dealership changed a sensor I the steering column, but problem persists. It is very dangerous to be driving in the city without power steering. 2. Ignition: car refuses to start when temperature is below 15-20 degrees fahrenheit. I have been stranded in below freezing weather for almost an hour because of this common Saturn failure.

I was in a 45 mph frontal crash in my 2007 Saturn Ion sedan v. S the rear of a 1994 Chevrolet silverado. The crash was offset , it smashed the right half of the front end. My air bags failed. I smashed my head into the steering wheel. I had the dealer look the car over and they had said that I didn't hit any of the "crush sensors" how ever the body shop I took the car too said that they found that crush sensors were not used in that car. They told me something about an accelerometer?? I just want to get to the bottom of what happened. I have been trying for two years now.
: the contact stated the air bag light intermittently illuminates. The vehicle has not been in an accident. The dealership was alerted and the clock spring was replaced however this did not correct the problem. The vehicle was inspected by a technician who determined the contact's daughter must have damaged the module. The contact explained the module was not damaged. The manufacturer has been alerted and agreed with the technician's analysis.

Key cannot be removed from ignition after car is turned off. Have returned to the dealership 4 times for this problem. Each time they lubricate the system but it does not fix the problem. It began less than 6 months after we purchased the vehicle and still persists today. We cannot take any more time off from work to take it into the shop to be told they will not replace the ignition system or the transmission/gear shift mechanism that may be the actual problem. In addition, in the first 18 months we've owned the vehicle, the air conditioning coolant has run out and they cannot locate the leak, and the sunroof broke. Finally, on one occasion the car went over a bump at approximately 30 mph and the electrical system acted as though the car had a wreck, cutting the motor and showing the airbag had deployed when it had not. After a few minutes, the car started up just fine with no adverse affects. The dealer says they've never heard of such a thing and can't think of how/why it happened.

I have not been in an accident but my airbag light continues to come on while I am driving. I called the dealership and they stated that if the light was on and I happen to be in an accident, my airbag would not deploy. I have taken my car to the dealership 2 times and they can never seem to find a problem. This light has been doing this for about 2 months now. I even called Saturn and they have my complaint on file.
