I have not been in an accident but my airbag light continues to come on while I am driving. I called the dealership and they stated that if the light was on and I happen to be in an accident, my airbag would not deploy. I have taken my car to the dealership 2 times and they can never seem to find a problem. This light has been doing this for about 2 months now. I even called saturn and they have my complaint on file.
2003 Saturn Ion airbags complaints

While trying to find a spot in a parking lot, I noticed that there was a van backing out and about to hid the car in front of me. I hit my horn to warn both drivers. When I hit the horn, the center saturn emblem went through the plastic air bag cover. The airbag module had to be relpaced. While this incadent did not cause any injuries, it conserns me that another emblem could fall into thee airbag module and create a flying object in a crash.
After rear ending another vehicle at 45 MPH front air bags did not deploy. Consumer sustained minor injuries. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
While driving the vehicle at 100 MPH, the driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a concrete wall head on. The owner stated that neither the frontal nor side impact air bags deployed upon impact. The driver sustained severe injuries as a result. The owner has made contact with the dealership. *jb
I purchased the car on 9/9/03, I was involved in an accident on 9/11/03 I rear ended a pickup truck. The damages to my car totaled $8400.00 and it was a dead-center hit to the front of my car bending both of the front frames and my airbags did not deploy. Because there were no injuries sustained in the accident and because the accident was more then 50% my fault my lawyer has advised me that there are no legal ramifications that I need to take. What I would like to do is insure that the word is out there for consumers to be aware that this is potentially a serious problem and it should be addressed. I will be contacting the saturn dealership to insure they are aware of this problem.
