Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I brought my Saturn SKY that was manufactured by GM to my local chevrolet dealer. They told me that the module is not on recall although many other models that GM makes did and does have a recall for the same product. I will no longer let anyone ride in the passenger seat. I would hope that someone would force GM to do what they have done for all their other makes and models. If someone gets hurt or possibly killed I will have to be forced to sue someone. They say the process costs $900 and I think if anything they should pay for at least the parts. …”
NHTSA complaint #10759562, filed 2015-08, 49,200 miles“Passenger air bag light says off when someone is seated or unseated. Also shows red error airbag light on dash. Per the GM dealer, they say the passenger airbag will not deploy. This is a major safety issue that needs to be recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #10598829, filed 2014-06, 25,000 miles“Passenger side occupancy sensor failed, and airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash even with someone sitting in the seat. Began as a random failure, switching from failed to operational on each start. Ultimately, stayed in failed condition. Upon starting the vehicle, dash warning appears warning of system failure. Dealer acknowledges this as a known issue, and research suggests hundreds of GM owners suffer the same issue. Only suggested remedy was a $900-$1000 replacement by dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #10783372, filed 2015-10, 55,000 miles“The air bag warning light is on at all times and service air bag appears in the driver information center and must be cleared after each start. The issue has been determined to be a faulty passenger presence sensor located in the bottom of the passenger seat. This has now rendered the passenger airbag inoperative at all times and possibly affects the safe operation of the entire srs system. After doing some research online, this is a very, very common problem with the Saturn skys and pontiac solstices. …”
NHTSA complaint #10809595, filed 2015-12, 49,000 miles“the passenger seat air bag sensor was recalled. I took the car to dealer and they said they fixed the recall. now 3 years later, if a passenger sits in the seat the light comes on saying air bag sensor is ON one second later the light says the air bag sensor is OFF and the red air bag light in the dash comes on. -Should GM be responsible to repair it again at no charge ?”
