The air bag seat sensor (pps) in my vehicle failed only 12 mos after its 'bumper-to-bumper' warranty expired. 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 ($700 - $1000), and that the early failure of this part is somewhat common for this vehicle.

Airbag module failed after just 36K miles. This is a common and widespread issue and absolutely needs to be addressed in a recall.

I was driving on the interstate at about 65 mph. I hydroplaned out of control and hit the wall head on. Airbags didn't deploy. My face hit the steering wheel, busting my lip and giving me a black eye, but I made it out alive.

The passenger seat sensor has failed and the airbag does not know if someone is in the seat. During an accident the airbag will not deploy.

I started the car and the "service air bag" light came up in the message center on the dash. The passenger air bag light indicates that the passenger air bag is not on even when there is a passenger. This is a very dangerous situation for the passenger to be in. It is my understanding that this is not an uncommon problem for Saturn Skys and Pontiac solstices. There are many, many incidences of this problem. The cost of repair is extremely high and the dealership we took it to said there was no recall for this part. This defective part should have a recall for the safety of all the owners and their passengers.

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.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Sky. The contact stated the service air bag light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic who performed a diagnostic test which located the failure within the passenger air bag sensor. The manufacturer offered some assistance with the repair cost; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 74,955.

The air bag sensor in my vehicle failed shortly after its 'bumper-to-bumper' warranty expired. 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 ($500 - $800), and that the early failure of this part is somewhat common for this vehicle.

Air bag warning light came on, and disappeared while at a red light in a period of about ~1 minute. After passenger sat in the car, air bag warning light came on again for a short period of about five minutes and off again. Passenger air bag indicator at the time when alert came on was noted as off state, all other time when passenger is present, indicator is noted as on state. After driving a while ~20minutes, air bag warning light came on and this time it stayed on, passenger airbag indicator is in off state. Upon restarting the car/engine. Warning light disappeared however, after short minutes it came back on, and now the air bag warning light has been on for over 3 days. Passenger in or not, indicator is in off state. After viewing forums and posts about recurring problem effected by similar cars such as the Pontiac solstice, Pontiac solstice gpx, and Saturn Sky, please take consideration in looking into our air bag system. Thank you!

My car displays "service air bag" every time I start my car. The passenger airbag light says "off" whether there is anyone in the passenger seat or not. I took it to the dealer and they do not warranty this part. It annoys me every time I start my car! please recall airbag sensors!!!

Passenger presence airbag sensor was intermittently not working and now does not sense a passenger at all. Passenger airbag is now off.

Passanger air bag sensor.

Air bag sensor for passenger airbag is faulty after ~5K miles of someone sitting in the seat. Numerous other Saturn Sky owners, especially 2007 owners have this problem.

- La Porte, TX, USA

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 [XXX] EMAIL [XXX] CELL [XXX].
