  MY 2007 SATURN SKY WITH 81,000 MILES ON IT DISPLAYED "SERVICE AIR BAG", TOOK IT TO GM DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) FAULT AND SAID THE COST FOR REPAIR WOULD BE $1000+. I PAID THEM THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TIME ($105) AND ELECTED TO REPAIR MYSELF. REMOVAL OF PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM COVER INDICATED A BREAK IN THE FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT PAD WHICH DETECTS PASSENGER PRESENCE. COST FOR REPLACEMENT SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY (INCLUDES PPS) FROM GM IS OVER $400 BUT STILL CHEAPER THAN PAYING DEALER FOR THIS WORK. THIS IS DISCUSSED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SKY & SOLSTICE AND GM RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON OTHER VEHICLES HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES (IE: CADILLAC CTS) BUT GM REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE SKY OR SOLSTICE. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE WITH KNOWN FLAWS IN IT (PLASTIC RIBBON CABLES CANNOT WITHSTAND REPEATED FORCE APPLICATIONS FOREVER). I UNDERSTAND MOST PEOPLE ELECT TO JUST CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE, DUE TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH COST OF REPAIRS, WHICH LEAVES AN ADULT PASSENGER UNPROTECTED DURING A CRASH WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT (PPS DEACTIVATES PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IF CHILD IS PRESENT. GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS OR PROVIDE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS SAFETY CRITICAL ITEM. *TR

  This is a 2007 Saturn Sky base. The GM recall is # 17036. Every time I contact a GM dealer for getting this recall taken care of, I am told they cannot get the parts, or that there is NOT any recall on this vehicle ! The first notice I rec'd for this recall is dated April 2017. I WANT TO GET THIS DONE AND TAKEN CARE OFZ. THIS has gone on long enough !!!

• 12/28/2014· AIR BAGS

  DASHBOARD MESSAGE CENTER INDICATING A "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE WHEN CAR IS STARTED. RECEIVE THE MESSAGE EVERY TIME KEY IS TURNED ON... I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SATURN SKY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE RELATED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR. GM WILL NOT COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A PART OF THE VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEM. THE FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR" COMPONENT AND/OR A PERIODIC MAINTENANCE ISSUE. GM HAS ISSUED RECALLS ON OTHER GM MODELS WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES, SO WHY NOT THE SATURN SKY. IT SEEMS GM NEEDS GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION AND/OR LAWSUITS, BEFORE IT WILL TAKE ACTION. AS A SKY OWNER I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WHETHER OR NOT MY AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY, DUE TO A DEFECT IN A SAFETY SYSTEM. A CAR OWNER'S EXPECTATION IS THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, JUST LIKE THE EXPECTATION THE SEAT BELT WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

  THESE CARS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR, WHICH TURNS ON AND OFF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. WHILE GM DID ISSUE A RECALL ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE PARTS USED WERE A SIMPLE "BAND-AID" FIX. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AND HAS DONE 5000 MILES SINCE, AND THE "REPAIRED" PART HAS FAILED AGAIN. GM IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS UNDER RECALL AND/OR WARRANTY AND THE COST TO FIX THIS IS $1000! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED, OR THE RECALL SHOULD BE ACTIVE ONCE AGAIN! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE OWNERS AS WELL.

  2007 SATURN SKY REDLINE SITTING AT AN IDLE PASSENGER SAT DOWN IN THE SEAT AND SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, DIC SHOWED "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM", PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWED OFF. UPON TAKING TO DEALER PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (PPS) SENSOR FAILED. THE SENSOR FAILED DO TO THE FLEXING OF THE SENSOR AS PASSENGERS GOT IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE NOT FROM NEGLECT BY THE OWNER. THE TOTAL IS $1125.00 WITH PART SHIPPING INSTALL AND ZEROING OF NEW THE SENSOR. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE, THERE HAS BEEN REPORTS OF THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS FAILING IN AS LITTLE AS A YEAR. WHEN THIS PART FAILS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN THE POTENTIAL INJURY OF THE PASSENGER DURING A CRASH. WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF THIS PROBLEM IT AN OBVIOUS DEFECT OF THE PART THE ONLY WAY AN OWNER CAN STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING IS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT TO AVOID FLEXING OF THE SENSOR. THE PRICE FOR THE REPAIR, THE POTENTIAL INJURY AND HOW OFTEN THIS IS HAPPENING, I BELIEVE IS A VALID REASON FOR A SAFETY RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR BY THE MANUFACTURER OR DEALER. *TR

  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. *TR

  I DELIVERED THE VEHICLE TO BILL FOX CHEVY FOR SERVICING AS DIRECTED BY GM (SATURN) CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE NUMBER [XXX] FOR GRINDING NOISE AND FLUID LEAKING ON THE 2007 SATURN SKY (21433 MILES). THERE WAS A RECALL ( 07V58900) FOR A FAULTY SEAL ON THIS MODELS DIFFERENTIAL UNIT. IT SHOWED THE RECALL WAS HANDLED ON APRIL 29,2008 BY LAKESIDE OF SATURN WHICH I DID NOT RECALL. AFTER INVESTIGATION BY THE DEALER IT WAS AGREED THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS GRINDING AND THE LEFT DIFFERENTIAL/AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING FLUID. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE AND HAD TO PAY $ 455.63 FOR THE REPAIRS ON THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGNED PART. GM DENIED MY REQUEST FOR COVERING THIS UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE ONLY DRIVEN IN THE SUMMER. SHE DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I DROVE IT AND NOTICED RIGHT AWAY AND FOUND THE RECALL AND CONTACTED GM(SATURN) CS. I STOPPED MY WIFE FROM DRIVING BECAUSE THE RECALL STATED THE DIFFERENTIAL COULD LOCKUP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO I HAD A 100K WARRANTY ON THE DRIVETRAIN WHICH THEY SAID HIT 5 YRS IN AUGUST 2012. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS RECALL ON THE TOTAL DIFFERENTIAL EXT/INT PARTS.

• 10/20/2015· AIR BAGS

  THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM MODULE HAS GONE OUT. I HAVE DONE ALL CIRCUIT TESTING, RESEARCH AND PRICED THE REPAIRS. I AM A SERVICE TECHNICIAN OF 6 YEARS AND HAVE WORKED FOR GM FOR THE FIRST 3. ALMOST EVERY SATURN SKY I KNOW OF HAS HAD THE PPS MODULE FAIL, AND WE HAVE MANY REPORTS AND PICTURES OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NOT DEPLOYING DURING COLLISIONS, SOMETIMES THE DRIVER DOES NOT EITHER. THIS IS CLOSE TO A $1000 FIX, CONSIDERING THE PRICE OF THE PPS MODULE BY ITSELF IS $500+ FROM THE DEALER. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND IN MOTION, CITY AND HIGHWAY WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURED. THE PPS MODULE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND THEREFORE DOES NOT TURN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ON. THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT, 10 MINUTES INTO DRIVING, IT TURNED ON AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT CYCLED BACK OFF, LIT UP THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND SAID, 'SERVICE AIR BAG,' ON THE DIC. IT CYCLED ONE MORE TIME TO ON, AND THEN BACK OFF A FEW MINUTES LATER AND NOW STAYS OFF. THE ENTIRE TIME IT CYCLED BACK AND FORTH THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. AS A TECHNICIAN AND A CAR ENTHUSIAST, I AM WELL AWARE THAT CARS HAVE TO BE MAINTAINED AND EXPENSIVE PARTS WILL BE BOUGHT OVER THE YEARS, BUT THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN SKY'S AIR BAG SYSTEM IS CONCERNING AND I WOULD HOPE, WITH AS MANY RECALLS HAVE GONE OUT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THAT NHTSA, AND GM, WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT LIKE PEOPLE DID IN THE COBALT IGNITION RECALLS. I ALSO HAVE A COBALT, SO I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND I HOPE SOMEONE WILL ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE THIS INSTEAD OF IGNORING IT AND PEOPLE GET HURT. IF IT WAS YOUR OWN VEHICLE, YOU WOULD BE ALARMED AS WELL. ALSO, THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE 2005-07 CADILLAC CTS AIRBAG RECALL WAS THE SAME PART NUMBER USED IN THE 2007 SKY, POSSIBLY 07-10. I DO NOT HAVE PROOF OF THAT, YET. *TR

BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS IT WAS WORSE THAN EVER. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. AFTER THEY TRIED LOOKING AT MY CAR. I CALLED MY WARRANTY COMPANY AND ASK IF THEY COULD RECOMMEND A SERVICE CENTER TO TAKE MY CAR TO HAVE IT SERVICED. WHICH I THEN PROCEEDED TO DO. AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL THERE. THEY SENT A USED DIFERENTIAL THAT WAS BAD. I ASKED THE WARRANTY REPRESENTATIVE AT THAT TIME TO SEND ME A NEW ONE WHICH MY CONTRACT STATES CLEARLY I CAN HAVE. BUT ONCE AGAIN THEY SENT ANOTHER BAD USED ONE. AND THEN ANOTHER. ALONG WITH TWO OTHERS THAT WERE NEVER DELIVERED. AND I'VE BEEN OFFERED A RENTAL FOR 8 DAYS TOTAL. AND IT IS NOW OCT 18TH.2016.

  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.
