My 2007 Saturn Outlook passenger presence system is not recognizing an adult sitting in the front passenger seat. By the vehicle not recognizing the adult the passengers airbag is not armed in the event of a front end crash. I took the vehicle to a gm dealership who is replacing the pps for $1000. Huge safety concern and expensive repair. The pps was recalled in 2008 by VIN but mine was not included. This should be re-addressed.
Problems with passenger airbag - sometimes it would say off when a passenger is seated and sometimes it would say on and then turn off after some time. Had to have work done on the fuel pump, then the drive shaft went to the point where it car had to be towed. I was told that this never happens. Currently, the car now kicks back when the car is first moved for that day and the dash board will flash, either, speed limited to 108pmh (when pulling out of driveway), park assist is off (when it is on),or traction control is off (when it has never been touched) - the car will also shut off without me doing so. I have taken it to a Saturn dealership and they say that they can find anything wrong with the car. I am currently five months pregnant and I do not feel safe in the car. When the car kicks back it hurts.
After a continuous problem with several items on our 2007 Saturn Outlook it was taken to dealership. While in for repairs we told them the passenger airbag did not work consistently. We even later sent video showing it off when a 130 lb passenger was in the seat. . . And the car was going 50mph down the road. They still say it is working properly. The airbag is on one minute, then off. . . Dealer says there are no error codes, however it should be on with 130lb person in the seat each and every time. . Not just when it notices they are there.
I own a 2007 Saturn Outlook xe. The front passenger airbag does not appear to engage when my wife who weighs 120 pounds sits in the seat. There is a light in the dash that toggles on or off based on if someone is in the passenger seat. Many times when I'm driving and my wife is in front passenger seat, the light will be "passenger airbag off" mode. If I shut down the vehicle, it sometimes corrects itself appears "passenger airbag on". This problem is sporadic. I've had the dealer check it several times, but they say it is working correctly. However, as recently as may 30th, the problem occurred again, the day after the dealership inspected the issue.
