The contact owns a 2006 Saturn Vue. While idling at a red light, the contact's vehicle was struck head on by another vehicle traveling approximately 50 mph. None of the air bags deployed in the contact's vehicle. She notified the attorney general, manufacturer, and the center claims division. She researched several complaints on the same component for her vehicle. The contact sustained major injuries to her neck, back, and knee and is currently in physical therapy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure and current mileages were 62,000.
2006 Saturn Vue has been in some three times for airbag deactivation. This occurs when the passenger seat gets slightly damp and is a safety issue in florida. Gm says to not get the seat damp.
I own a 2006 Saturn Vue. The passenger airbag "off" light remains illuminated or toggles between off and on when there is an adult in the passenger seat. This seems to have nothing to do with the posture of this person or their weight. The light (indicating air bag off) is usually lighted when there is a passenger in the seat. Vehicle was purchased used from a non gm dealer who states there are no trouble codes. Obviously I do not feel safe transporting my family in this vehicle.
