Seats Problems of Saturn SKY

The passenger seat air bag sensor was recalled. I took the car to dealer and they said they fixed the recall. Now 3 years later, if a passenger sits in the seat the light comes on saying air bag sensor is on one second later the light says the air bag sensor is off and the red air bag light in the dash comes on. -should gm be responsible to repair it again at no charge ?.

Recall failure of airbag seat occupancy sensor. The car was taken to authorized dealer in 2018 for the recall. The sensor failed in 2021. The recall did not replace the seat sensor but only added reinforcement tape. In 2021 the air bag lights came on. An authorized dealer investigation found the airbag seat sensor had failed. Gm was notifed through the dealer and replied the warranty was over and they are not responsible for the recall repair after the warranty period. The recall rectification appears to be poorly designed leading to eventual failure of the sensor leaving passengers unprotected. . Please follow-up with gm on this issue. I'm sure thousands of cars are affected.

Passenger presence seat sensor stop working and disabled passenger air bags due to issue from previous recall that was supposed to be fix.

I brought my 2007 Saturn Sky in for recall repair of passenger seat airbag presence system. . . . The dealership added 4 retaining clips and a reinforcement strip to the passenger seat as part of the recall. Now my airbag warning light is always on and my dashboard info system says ' service airbag' the passenger seat sensor was never replaced as the recall states it should have been.

The recall that gm did was supposed to fix the problem but did not. I have a 07 Saturn Sky redline. And was serviced for recall # 17036 or NHTSA recall number 17v061000 three years ago. This recall was due to the faulty passenger pressure module gm part number 84447741. I bought the car in to the dealer and waited two months for a no, and then call the Saturn customer service recall line and talked with camile. I explained that due to covid and no place to go the car has been driven a little over 3,000 miles and approximately my wife who weighs 130 pounds has set in the seat for 500 miles. Camile stated that due to the 1-year recall warranty for the passenger pressure module no matter how my miles it was driven. I informed camile that when my wife sits in the seat the passenger airbag switches on and off constantly and that the recall that gm did was supposed to fix the problem but did not that I hope she understood that. I am the second owner and bought the car with 32000 miles, the passenger pressure module has been changed three times since I have owned the car.

My 2007 Saturn Sky automobile had a airbag/ safety recall (recall # 17036) which I had shearer Chevrolet sout burlington, vermont preform. They only did part of the recall and within 4000 miles (10 months) of them doing the work the module kit which they were suppose to replace but didn't as part of the recall failed and I was forced to pay over $900 out of pocket to have the repair done again including replacing the module kit (gm part number #84447741). I lost the use of the car over 2 months this summer 2020 due to the fact that the car was uninspectable with this problem. Lamoille valley Chevrolet hyde park, vermont (802-888-4942) performed the second repair on the vehicle.

Airbag need servicing light is always on, can't read mileage. The seat belt, or seat light stays on. These things are on at all times, starting, stopping,and driving. I'm not sure what will happen with the airbag service light, will the airbag blow at anytime or what.

Passenger presence module went bad. Trips the air bag sensor to go off and can only be reset by dealer. Airbag will not deploy when a passenger is in the seat in an event of an accident. This has been a known safety issue for years.

At about 31,000 miles while driving down the road with a passenger the airbag off light flashed on and off several times finally ending up off with a service airbag message. Was traveling about 65 miles per hour on freeway.

After a gm ignition recall on Saturn Sky--we received notice and took our car to the gm shop to do the work. However now the "airbag warning light" stays on---we did much research and replaced the passenger side seat cushion and sensor-----this did not result in the airbag warning light going off--we took it to the gm dealer to do a diagnostic to see why the seat/sensor replacement did not fix the problem and they state the seat is properly installed and it is not causing the airbag warning light issue---but they did not tell us what was the diagnosed problem. Many Saturn Sky owners have written to you and are very concerned about the safety of their families, the fact they cannot pass state required safety inspections; which renders their gm product completely useless. Gm has never responded to these issues for Saturn Sky owners or for pontiac solstice owners and the NHTSA likewise have not responded to this dangerous issue, despite numerous complaints. Many other air bag issues have been addressed by your board for a variety of vehicles---why not this one? I will be approaching my state and federal representatives with this concern as well; it is a public safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately. My husband has also written to the NHTSA has never responded. Will you respond now?.

Passabger airbag sensor stopped working after a friend weight 185 sat in the seat at 64k miles.

Passenger seat airbag sensor inoperable. Makes whole airbag system inoperable. With adult riding passenger in the passenger seat, passenger airbag off light is illuminated.

The sensor in the passenger seat no longer works! sensor light is continuous on! my car is gently used w/under 20,000 miles on it! it is a safety hazard I feel the manufacturer is responsible for. The problem started 06/14 but your calendar wouldn't accept the date.

Typical engineered problems @ low mileage: seat air bag sensor, dash info lights, check engine light and extremely noisy ac system. A recall would be nice, but the car is an orphan. (a discontinued vehicle, with little support. ) safe at any speed ?.

Passenger air bag light on dash indicates problem with passenger sensor. I was driving with my grandson who weighs about 110 pounds and suddenly the light came on. This is alarming since I don't know if there was a collision, it would prevent the air bag from deploying and my passenger would not be protected. Upon searching the internet it is obvious that this is a common problem with the Saturn Sky and should be recalled since it impacts the safety of the occupants. The sensor is a think plastic circuit which is located under the seat covering and gets worn out. Totally unacceptable and seems that general motors would want to address this issue to prevent loss of life and potential law suits.

I brought my Saturn Sky that was manufactured by gm to my local Chevrolet dealer. They told me that the module is not on recall although many other models that gm makes did and does have a recall for the same product. I will no longer let anyone ride in the passenger seat. I would hope that someone would force gm to do what they have done for all their other makes and models. If someone gets hurt or possibly killed I will have to be forced to sue someone. They say the process costs $900 and I think if anything they should pay for at least the parts. How can they recall other models and not this model?.

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.

Passenger seat airbag sensor failed. Vehicle was stationary. Warning on dash.

While turning left, the driver seat snapped causing the seat to lurch right. The seat failed unexpectedly during normal use.

The air bag warning light is on at all times and "service air bag" appears in the driver information center and must be cleared after each start. The issue has been determined to be a faulty passenger presence sensor located in the bottom of the passenger seat. This has now rendered the passenger airbag inoperative at all times and possibly affects the safe operation of the entire srs system. After doing some research online, this is a very, very common problem with the Saturn Skys and pontiac solstices. It is very expensive to fix (around $800-$1000 for parts and labor) and apparently the replacement part has an equally short life expectancy and seems to develop the exact same problem for most of those that have replaced it thus far (according to research done online). This creates a very dangerous situation particularly since these 2 seat cars are quite small with plastic body components therefore making the airbags a necessity in a collision. Gm, as well as their dealers are very aware of this problem but appear to be doing nothing to remedy the situation. Clearly it is NHTSA's duty to force their hand and make them recall these cars and replace these parts with a redesigned part that will work properly and that has an acceptable service life!.

Airbag sensor has failed for second time in two years.

Got the ignition switch replaced and now the service air bag light wont go off. This results in the passenger side seat and should be a recall!!! the car is not safe to drive with anyone in the car because the air bags will not deploy. I never had this issue until I got the ignition recalled.

Driving 35 miles an hour I noticed passenger side airbag warning light appeared on dash, when I took car to gm dealer they said it would cost 900 dollars to replace.

Passenger seat airbag warning light stays off, does not go to on position when seat is occupied. Service airbag soon warning light appears on instrument panel. Had system diagnosed , found that the pass. Seat presence module is faulty. And needs to be replaced,. This is a critical safety issue and not, an isolated issue with these vehicles and should be recalled by gm and replaced at no cost to me. Please do the right thing and correct this issue!!.

Upon entering the vehicle on Friday, may 16th, 2014 I noticed the service airbag soon light and notification were displayed on the dic. After startup and vehicle system check the lights remained on and will not go out.

Passenger side occupancy sensor failed, and airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash even with someone sitting in the seat. Began as a random failure, switching from failed to operational on each start. Ultimately, stayed in failed condition. Upon starting the vehicle, dash warning appears warning of system failure. Dealer acknowledges this as a known issue, and research suggests hundreds of gm owners suffer the same issue. Only suggested remedy was a $900-$1000 replacement by dealer.

The airbag for the passenger no longer activates, this seems to be an issue with the passenger presence system and it seems to be happening to a lot of Sky owners.

The vehicles air bag warning light appeared in my dash upon starting my vehicle today. The passenger seat is not registering that someone is sitting in the seat. According to gm {owner of the late Saturn)the passenger airbag will not deploy if I were to get into an accident while the light is illuminated and quoted me almost $1,100. 00 to fix it. My friends Sky is doing the same thing, everyone seems to be driving around with faulty airbag systems! how is this not a safety issue? recall!.

The passenger seat airbag sensor has failed in my car. This has resulted in a condition in which the passenger air bag is permanently disabled, a potential large safety hazard. After researching this issue, it appears as though this is a common problem among the Saturn Sky and pontiac solstice cars, and there is no outstanding recall to remedy this issue. There are many of these cars on the road today that are operating without a functional passenger air bag, putting passengers are significantly greater risk for injury in the event of a collision. Given the prevalence of this issue, its severity, and the cost to repair, I feel as though a safety recall is should be considered for these models.

Passenger presence module-service air bag warning is activated and comes on periodically due to a defective sensor which results in air bag not functioning properly or being deployed in the event of an accident. This is an obvious safety concern that gm is aware of and has been recalled in other model cars except for the Saturn Sky and pontiac solstice. It is a major safety concern and one that should be addressed by recall.

Passenger presence module is loose or not functioning properly which means the airbag may deploy during or not when there's an accident! warning light comes on to check passenger airbag module. Had estimates to cost me over $1000 the car is in great condition and wasn't ever wrecked! it just stopped working without a cause. It's 10 years old, garage kept and only has 43,200 miles on it. I had 3 recalls already on the rear main seal and twice on the ignition switch where it would just shut down everything almost causing a near fatal accident getting off ramp onto I-80 tractor trailer just missed me!.

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.
