Electrical System Problems of Saturn SKY - part 2

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!.

Everytime I start my vehicle I get the following messages on the control panel. Service airbag, service traction control, esc off/disabled. There has been no accidents on the vehicle but lack of esc makes controlling the rwd performance vehicle difficult, in addition the service airbag message is further reason for concern.

While driving on the expressway, the car completely lost power for several seconds, and some of the trouble lights on the dash lit up. While trying to exit the expressway, power came back and the dash returned to normal. The same scenario happened again nearly a year later. Gm technicians could not find anything wrong.

The passenger presence sensor light has been on for awhile. It had been 'fixed' once before when the vehicle was under warranty. The exact same sensor went out several months after warranty expiration June 2012). Concerned because this faulty (disabled) sensor will not deploy passenger-side airbag in an accident.

Passenger air bag light says off when someone is seated or unseated. Also shows red error airbag light on dash. Per the gm dealer, they say the passenger airbag will not deploy. This is a major safety issue that needs to be recalled.

The contact owns a 2009 Saturn Sky. The contact stated that the air bag system malfunctioned during hot weather. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times; however, they were unable to diagnose the failure. The contact stated that the electrical system caused the air bags to malfunction and other components such as the cruise control, air conditioner/heating system, and fog lights. If the vehicle was involved in a crash the air bags may not deploy. The contact stated that this was a major safety issue that the manufacturer should address. The failure mileage was 40,070.
