Saturn SKY owners have reported a total of 608 problems for their cars built in the 3 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Saturn SKY. The 2007 Saturn SKY cars have the most problems reported (333 problems).
The following chart shows the 23 most common problems for Saturn SKY cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's air bags (360 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's service brakes, hydraulic (80 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Saturn SKY of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across SKY model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Saturn SKY model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Saturn SKY is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
| Model Year | Problems Reported |
