our office has previously filed a complaint in regard to a 2007 saturn sky that we believe is defective. my client's name is matt castro and the pending odi number is 10237967. on september 10, 2008 general motors sent out an accident investigator to conduct an inspection of the vehicle. upon completion of the inspection, mr. briscoe noted something peculiar on the sdm information box. mr. briscoe, the accident investigator, found that the information given on the box stated the my client matt castro did not have his seat belt on at the time the accident occurred. however, police reports and police statements provide that my client had to have his safety belt cut away to extract him from the vehicle. this discrepancy is of monumental importance if we are to rely on the accuracy of the sdm devices. sdm devices main purpose is to provide accurate data at the time an accident occurs. a defective device failing to record accurate data compromises all further investigations of the vehicle. it is our hope that you address the defective sdm devices on the saturn sky with urgency as this problem could only magnify should other incidents arise.

tl*the contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. the contact stated that the hood to her convertible does not have a secondary latch. as a result, the hood rapidly flies back as if it were a sail. if the hood spontaneously opens while driving on the beltway, it could easily detach because of the air pressure from the wind. she took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the component was not a warranty item; therefore, she would have to repair the vehicle at her expense. the vehicle has not been repaired. the failure and current mileages were 13,900.

since september the dealer saturn of union, nj has been trying to repair my convertible top on my car. the top does not lock in correctly, there has been numerous replacements on the 2007 saturn sky tops for defects, so many that saturn has put a restraint on the dealers replacing tops. my car has been there 6 times time and still it is not repaired. i have a case with saturn customer service and yet still no repair, the top not locking in correctly is dangerous an i am afraid of the top breaking free while driving. if a corporation stops replacement due to many replacements something is wrong, they know the type two roofs are much better and safer yet they are now reluctant to replace them.

i own a 2007 saturn sky and have for 31/2 years in that time there hasnt been anybody in the passenger seat maybe a total of 4 months. my passenger seat airbag sensor has already gone bad and i know on the skyroadster and the sollstice forums there have been several more. the sensor i think is made by nippondenso and installed on the 2006-2009 sky/solstice's i dont expect gm to spend a ton of money replacing them but they could at least come up with a mod so the airbag is on all the time or go after nippondenso for a inferior product. i really think they should last longer then a few months and want gm to do something about it!! thank you rick leslie email rick.leslie@delta.com cell 612-220-6531

the limited slip differential failed on my 2007 saturn sky. the failure of this component caused the car to suddenly and violently fishtail while making a left turn at normal highway speeds. the car subsequently smashed into the center median, then bounced into the adjacent lane where it collided with a large suv. the suv rolled over my hood and flipped over on its top. fortunately no one was injured. the accident resulted in the suv being totaled and severe front end damage to my car. the failure in the differential was first detected by the body repair technician and later verified by a qualified gm dealer. it is now being replaced under warranty. condition: weather was sunny and clear. no oil or water on the roadway. safety recall nhtsa 07v589000, power train axle assembly axle shaft seal, was performed approximately 6 months earlier.

received a "service air bag" code on my dic output. contacted my local service center and verified that there were no safety recalls for the failed passenger present system module associated with the airbag system. performed lots of research and discovered that this is an extremely prevalent and common problem with virtually all models and years of the pontiac solstice and saturn sky. i am highly concerned to also discover that the passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of an accident due to the defective part not detecting the presence of a passenger.

SEATS

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.

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.

i went into a parking lot and over a speed bump with a passenger in the car. as soon as we went over the speed bump the light on my dash that shows an airbag being deployed lit up. now the dealership says the passenger presence module for the passenger air bag is bad. since this is a "smart" airbag system the module has to be changed and calibrated at the dealer. this was one of a very few time i've had a passenger in my car and seems beyond comprehension that this sensor would break with such limited use and cost $1000 to replace. i have found through my research that many thousands of gm products are having very similar issues with very similar cost to repair. sure seems like gm knows there is a problem but has found that it's more profitable to keep replacing them at the owners cost!

the recent recall on ignition switches for gm vehicles is great however there are a number of gm cars that have an additional problem affecting the deployment of the air bag beside the ignition switch. thousands of gm vehicles have an inferior passenger seat sensor that goes out and will not deploy the air bag for the passenger of the car. gm is knowledgeable of this and refuses to fix the problem for the owners. cars affected are the saturn sky, pontiac solstice, pontiac g6, chevrolet malibu and some model corvettes. the item costs consumers 1000.00 to fix and it is possible it will go out again in months after replaced. gm knows about this have had my saturn sky tested and it is identified as the passenger seat sensor. the feds need to get gm to be more honest and include this item as a safety recall as well. it appears that since no passengers have been killed that it is not a concern. please look into this matter as well.

air bag passenger sensor stopped working unexpectedly. i had the module replaced by a gm dealership and had to pay complete cost. one year later the new module broke once again and the airbag sensor is not working meaning that if a person is in the seat the airbag will not deploy if an accident was to happen and will most likely increase the chances of a death because of faulty parts by gm.

AIR BAGS

when taking my car in for ignition recall repairs i noticed that my air bag light came on. gm customer service told me that when the new ignition switch was installed the error would clear itself. it did not, and when i brought this to the gm dealership service desk they denied that there was any linkage between the airbag operation and the ignition switch despite the description in their own recall notice warning that the airbag might not inflate if the original switch was faulty. gm is attempting to avoid the cost of a new airbag made ineffective by their own faulty ignition switch. i went to the gm dealer to have my car made safe and was directed to leave the dealership with an unsafe car, without a working airbag. this should be addressed by the nhtsa and make gm insure that all safety systems are working properly after recall repairs are completed!

failure of the passenger presence sensor for the saturn sky airbag. very common for this model vehicle (saturn sky and pontiac solstice). design / engineering / manufacturing error. failure of this sensor means that the airbag will not deploy for a passenger in case of an accident. severe safety issue but gm will not replace with rationalization that vehicle is out of warranty.

had my ignition switch replaced for a recall on 7/3/14. on july 25th i had my first passenger since the ignition switch work enter the vehicle. as soon as the person seated themselves on the passenger seat i received a warning on the information center of the car stating 'service airbag soon' and the airbag indicator showed that the airbag was 'off' even though someone was seated there. this was not a 'one time incident, and has not resolved itself and continues to be this way. after some research, i found this is not an isolated incident on this model and year. this is a safety concern and should be a recall from the manufacturer (general motors) to replace the faulty parts instead of charging me and the numerous others with the same issue upwards of one thousand dollars to repair this.

took my 2007 saturn sky ( within warranty) to saturn dealer in october 2008 for service on defective passenger airbag. the service department had several of their people sit in the seat and could not find a defect (so they said). they did not perform a diagnostic ! today i took the same vehicle (now out of warranty, of course) to chevrolet dealer service department for ignition (recall) and asked them to also look at passenger airbag. lo and behold they found a defective air bag module, and it will cost me $800 to replace! imagine that! thanks gm! i am joining in with the hundreds of other saturn sky owners and asking: why hasn't there been a safety recall on the saturn sky defective airbag module????!!
