2009 Saturn Sky Electrical System Problems

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.

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. *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN SKY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED DURING HOT WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES; HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAUSED THE AIR BAGS TO MALFUNCTION AND OTHER COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE CRUISE CONTROL, AIR CONDITIONER/HEATING SYSTEM, AND FOG LIGHTS. IF THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ADDRESS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,070.
