I have received the second letter in regards to the 17036 recall on the passenger airbag light not working. According to the website and the dealer a fix isn't available, but according to the letter and customer service at Saturn a temporary fix is. I have been getting the run around with Saturn they call the dealership and set me up with an appointment and when I went there the dealer had no available information for this recall. Called Saturn again today and got the same story she called the dealer and said they would call me right back after they order the part. The dealer did call me right back but said the part wasn't available yet for them to order and to wait until I get the final notice. I am tired of Saturn giving me the wrong information and being sent on a wild goose chase. My light isn't working at this time so I have no idea what impact that has on the airbag whether it would deploy or not if I needed it. I hope we never have to find this out the hard way.

My cars air bag light came on I took it to the dealer and it would not pass state inspection due to the passenger module sensor. I had to pay over 900 dollars to get it fixed. I have heard multiply people complaining about the same issue. Therefore I think there should be a recall. I did nothing to cause this failure to happen yet I am responsible to pay for it.
The airbag light came on in the car during a trip while driving on the highway. There is an internal fault in the passenger seat suppression module according to the local gm dealership. This results in no deployment of either of the airbags in the event of an accident/crash. This is a safety issue. The cost to replace this module is nearly $800.
Takata recall I started the 2008 Saturn Sky with someone seated in passenger seat ,air bag light said airbag was off for passenger side and service airbag light came on. Took to gm dealer and it was diagnosed as bad module and would cost $936. 62 to fix. I did have it fixed and paid the $936. 62 for safety sake. This issue really needs to be addressed and on recall before someone is killed.

While driving on a trip up north, the air bag light came on and "service air bag" appeared in the driver information center. After taking into get fixed, the issue is a faulty sensor in the passenger seat, rendering the passenger airbag useless. After doing some research online, this is happening a lot with the Saturn Skys. It is very expensive to fix (around $1000) and very dangerous, and should be a recall.
Service air bag light is on when engine starts & won't turn off. Had replaced.
The service air bag indicator came on for no apparent reason. Just driving down the road with my wife sitting in the passenger seat. Don't know for sure what it means but after visiting the dealer service center, I know I cannot afford the repair at this time. If gm can assure me that this is not a safety issue for my passenger then so be it. If gm cannot make this assurance, then gm needs to be recalling and repairing the safety equipment.
Service air bag light has come and and passenger side seat sensor is malfunctioning. This is an extreme concern to me because if the vehicle were to get in a wreck with a child in the passenger seat the air bag may deploy and fatally injure the young passenger. General motors needs to recall all Saturn Sky roadsters from years 2007-2010 as all model years are affected. This is not an isolated issue. This issue has occurred with many other vehicles as a small amount of research can indicate. Thank you!.

Passenger airbag light is on continuously. Dealer wanted $900+ to fix. They charges me $100+ just to diagnose it & tell me there was a problem in the airbag sensor. This should be considered a "safety issue" & should be fixed at the mfgs expense.
