Airbag light has been lit up for awhile now. They say I need a new sensor. Is this not the same issue from a previous recall? Why does this not show up under that recall?

What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn outlook. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator was illuminated. Jack phelan chevrolet (located at 4000 s harlem ace, lyons, il 60534, 708‑954‑8003) informed the contact that the ABS module may need replacing. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
The rear lift gate or strut support for the hatch of my 2007 saturn, outlook gradually fell on my son and I while putting the groceries in the car at walmart more than a few months ago; now the hatch no longer holds its weight and drops when you try to lift it, because it is pretty heavy, so as of today, I have not used the hatch for many months now, because it is not safe. I have called a few dealers that deal with saturn, gmc even buick and they all say that they do not work on vehicles over 10 years. (?) one of the mechanics said that he thought there was a recall on the lift gate like 3 years ago.? I am to the point that I might as well find a local mechanic to fix the lift gate or strut for the hatch. Also, the passenger side air bag light has been on since january or february of 2019 and it won't turn off or reset?
Service air bag light randomly came on
1) steering went out during a heavy rain going down the road. Lost steering. Very scary. Happened with four kids in the car going over a bridge! Took it to a car repair shop and they did not see a problem while looking at belt. It has happened a handful of times in very heavy raining which I try to avoid since that happened. 2) airbag light on. Just wonder if it is due to the water that pours in through the known defective sunroof tubes? During rains, water trickling through airbag compartments as well as water throughout vehicle. How come these sunroof tubes are not recalled????
The service air bag light stays illuminated on dash and the passenger air bag is off even if somebody is seating in the passenger seat . I have tried calling dealers, saturn-gm but have gotten no help with the resolution of this defect. They say that it is a defective sensor but according to a lot of forums this is a well known issue and this should be a safety defect not just a recall. This technically could hurt or kill someone in an accident and they have known about this. If something happens while driving this vehicle I will take this as high as I can take it. This has been happening for at least 18 months.
I have a 2007 saturn outlook xr and my service airbag light remains on at all times and my passenger side airbag wont turn on no matter who sits in it or any position. I have seen a lot of complaints about this same issue and feel their should be a recall on the 2007 saturn outlook's.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn outlook. While driving 55 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the front passenger side air bag module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 99,000.
At approximately 100,000 miles the service air bag light started to illuminate on the dashboard. Furthermore, the passenger airbag is always switched off regardless if there is someone in the passenger seat or not. Brought to dealer in june 2015 with mileage of 101,806. It is giving code b0081-of stating there is an internal fault in passenger presence sensor. Approximate cost to fix was around ~$1000. Declined fixing it at this time as I had already spent $2500 in other repairs. This is obviously an ongoing issue with many of these cars and is a huge safety concern....not just wear and tear. Please look into these airbag concerns.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn outlook. The contact stated that the service air bag warning indicator illuminated randomly when the vehicle was started or being driven. The dealer diagnosed that the passenger side air bag sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure began in june of 2015. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.
I was driving along and my dashboard went dark, you couldn't read the mileage, or any data that should show up in that window, the battery level showed lower then normal however stopped to have battery and alternator checked and both were working normally per mechanic. When stopped car and turned back on data was viewable, then airbag light came on - stayed on for about an 30 min. Then went back off. There was an issue with roof leaking - dealership had to repair and now I think this is linked to that issue. However, not sure if others are having this same issue and don't feel I should be held responsible for something that the dealer should have checked out prior to correcting leaking. Have there been any other owners with issues regarding this?
