general problems of the 2009 Saturn SKY

This is in reference to the faulty air bag sensor in the seats of the Saturn Sky's and pontiac solstice. A known defect in the air bag sensor in the seats is leading to an expensive fix for gm owners. The "service air bag" light illuminates due to a faulty craftsmanship in the seat sensor. This could possibly cause the airbag system to not function properly. It is a widespread problem with these cars and really started to take place for a lot of people after the ignition recall. The replacement part and labor is costing around $900 for the repair of one seat when the parts can be ordered form germany for around $80. Gm knows and really needs to address this issue before this malfunction causes some type of bodily harm.

2009 Saturn Sky. Consumer writes in regards to ignition and start switch recall parts issue. The consumer called the dealer three time, only to be told the parts were not available, but they had been ordered. The consumer referenced recalls 14v047000 and 14v171000.

At start up after turning on the a/c the radiator/condenser cooling fan assembly malfunctioned causing the fan to "lock-up". The vehicle began to over heat and the fan assembly began smoking. I'm glad I noticed this at start up and not in normal driving in wich the vehicle could blow up causing injury or fatality to myself and/or others near the vehicle. Yet another safety issue with my Saturn Sky!.
