In 2019 I took my car in for a recall I had received. It was for the PPS. Instead of replacing the faulty system, they simply put a "reinforcement" piece of tape over the faulty system. I rarely drive the car and I rarely have passengers. 2 years and almost 5k miles later, now the faulty system is b
... roken. The sensor in the seat has failed. No surprise there. The dealership is trying to charge me $1400 to replace the faulty sensor that should have been replaced 2 years ago. This is causing anyone who possible is a passenger in my car to be at risk, since now that the sensor is broken, the air bag will not deploy. Other people with this car have had or are having the same issue. I do not understand why a tape fix was approved and implemented for something so serious as the safety of my passengers.Read more

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE ASSESSMENT WAS THAT THE PASSENGER WEIGHT SENSOR HAD FAILED. THE REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT AT A COST OF $948. THE FAILURE IS TO THE SENSOR TAPE AFFIXED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT. IT BECOMES BRITTLE AS I

THERE ARE NO NEW PARTS BEING MADE SINCE THIS VEHICLE WENT OUT OF PRODUCTION IN 2009. ALL SENSOR TAPES ARE THEREFORE OLD AND PRONE TO RAPID CRACKING AND FAILURE. THE SATURN SKY (AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE - BASICALLY SAME VEHICLE) ARE FULL OF HORROR STORIES ABOUT MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THIS PART THAT RENDERS THE AIRBAG INOPERATIVE. THERE NEW PART CONTINUES TO FAIL IN MOST CASES AND MUST BE REPLACED REPEATEDLY EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR IN A TWO SEAT SPORTS CAR. THAT SEAT IN MOST CASES IS RARELY USED. IN MY CASE THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 19655 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT ON ONLY ABOUT 20 OCCASIONS.

THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN MY VEHICLE CAME ON TWO DAYS AFTER DEALER REPAIRED THE IGNITION RECALL. AND I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE . SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT IS VERY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED GM VEHICLES FOR 25 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PR
... OBLEM LIKE THIS. IN FACT I HAVE A 01 DURMAX THAT HAS 375 THOUSAND MILES AND AIR BAGS SYSTEM HAS NEVER FAULTED. YOU DO REALIZE ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR FACES ADDED RISK IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OWNER'S COST TO FIX THIS ITEM IS PROHIBITIVE ($800-$ 1000.00), AND THAT THE EARLY FAILURE OF THIS PART IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY THREADS WHERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND I HAVE PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE DAILY AND ,I FEEL YOUR COMPANY IS PUTTING MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS AT RISK OF INJURY. *TRRead more
