The PPS Sensor Illuminated light shows airbag service needed
Warning signal “service air bag” illuminated on dash
Service Air Bag light coming on. Known issue about passenger airbag sensor in seat
Recall failure of airbag seat occupancy sensor. The car was taken to authorized dealer in 2018 for the recall. The sensor failed in 2021. The recall did not replace the seat sensor but only added reinforcement tape. In 2021 the air bag lights came on. An authorized dealer investigation found the airbag seat sensor had failed. GM was notifed through the dealer and replied the warranty was over and they are not responsible for the recall repair after the warranty period. The recall rectification appears to be poorly designed leading to eventual failure of the sensor leaving passengers unprotected.. Please follow-up with GM on this issue. I'm sure thousands of cars are affected.
The recall that GM did was supposed to fix the problem but did not. I have a 07 Saturn Sky Redline. and was serviced for recall # 17036 or the federal safety agency recall number 17V061000 three years ago. This Recall was due to the faulty Passenger Pressure Module GM part number 84447741. I bought the car in to the dealer and waited two months for a NO, and then call the Saturn customer service recall line and talked with Camile. I explained that due to covid and no place to go the car has been driven a little over 3,000 miles and approximately my wife who weighs 130 pounds has set in the seat for 500 miles. Camile stated that due to the 1-year recall warranty for the passenger pressure module no matter how my miles it was driven. I informed Camile that when my wife sits in the seat the passenger airbag switches on and off constantly and that the recall that GM did was supposed to fix the problem but did not that I hope she understood that. I am the second owner and bought the car with 32000 miles, the Passenger pressure module has been changed three times since I have owned the car.
I brought my 2007 Saturn Sky in for Recall repair of passenger seat airbag presence system.... The dealership added 4 retaining clips and a reinforcement strip to the passenger seat as part of the recall. Now my airbag warning light is always on and my dashboard info system says ' service airbag' The passenger seat sensor was never replaced as the recall states it should have been.
The passenger seat airbag sensor has failed for a second time. This issue was the subject of a GM recall 17036 dated May 2017. Under this recall my seat sensor failure was corrected. This car is driven very little (about 2000 miles per year average) and 99 percent of the time with no passenger. Battle Field Chevrolet says the warranty for the recall has expired and gave a written quote R.O. 6030264/1 dated 4/12/21 of $792.88 to repair/correct the failure. I have paper copies of the recall notice and the reference quote. This is a vehicle safety issue. A Passenger would be at risk riding in the seat until repaired. The vehicle cannot pass the annual state safety inspection until corrected. This is a design flaw on the part of General Motors and should again be repaired at no expense to the vehicle owner.
Had pps recall repair done and later issue returned. Air bag sensor light stays on.
My 2007 saturn sky automobile had a airbag/ safety recall (recall # 17036) which I had shearer chevrolet sout burlington, vermont preform. They only did part of the recall and within 4000 miles (10 months) of them doing the work the module kit which they were suppose to replace but didn't as part of the recall failed and I was forced to pay over $900 out of pocket to have the repair done again including replacing the module kit (gm part number #84447741). I lost the use of the car over 2 months this summer 2020 due to the fact that the car was uninspectable with this problem. Lamoille valley chevrolet hyde park, vermont (802‑888‑4942) performed the second repair on the vehicle.
Check airbag system light message is on and there is a similar issues on this car's twin 2007 pontiac solstice which has a recall but the dealer won't fix the same issue on this car and wants over a $1000. This car has never been in an accident im the second owner and it's been kept in a dry storage. It has 33k miles.
Pps airbag system has failed after gm dealer installed a "support" over a year ago as a recall "fix" at the time of their repair the system was operating properly...now they tell me they will not stand behind this. I was told that all parts of a recall should have been replaced at the time of the recall.... This has not happened and now I am afraid to drive my car with a passenger. Please help me. The recall on this item is #17v061000
The airbag light on the dashboard stays on and the information center states to service air bag. I researched this problem and found that it is a common occurrence in these vehicles. Something to do with the sensors in the passenger and drivers seat. This occurs whenever the ignition is on.
My service air bag light has come on and will not go off. I have read many forums and see where a safety recall was issued for repairs due to this being a two seat vehicle # 17v061000, yet I did not get this recall. My vehicle will not pass inspection and I need this safety recall issue repaired at no cost to me. Please help with information as to where I need to go and how to get this issue repaired thank you
Air bag warning lights up on my dash and my passenger seat air bag indicator does not light. The warning light comes on as soon as I turn the key on and will not clear. This happens as soon as the key is turned on. I have seen it disappear and the reappear while driving. I have read that this is a very large problem with this car. Please help....also, does this car have airbags that need to be replaced with all of the airbag problems of late?
These cars have a problem with the passenger seat sensor, which turns on and off the passenger side airbag. While gm did issue a recall about a year ago, the parts used were a simple "band-aid" fix. My car was repaired a little over a year ago, and has done 5000 miles since, and the "repaired" part has failed again. Gm is refusing to fix this under recall and/or warranty and the cost to fix this is $1000! This is a safety issue, and it should be covered, or the recall should be active once again! Absolutely ridiculous! This is a common problem with other saturn sky and pontiac solstice owners as well.
Airbag service needed light is on
Air bags not working,taked for repair,to dealer,repairs never done,no parts.after a month in dealer I taked back.
This vehicle had a recall for a faulty switch under the passenger seat that was to tell the air bag a passenger was in the seat. I completed the recall at genillini motors in woodbine, nj in april of 2018. The replacement switch has failed (6/2019). The system, again, no longer detects a passenger and I suspect the air bag will not deploy. This car has had less 1000 miles of use since the repair and there is rarely a passenger in the passenger seat. Both the passenger air bag detection light and the air bag dash light go on and off randomly. Both usually are on when the car starts but sometime goes off when there is a passenger in the passenger seat and the car is moving. I contacted gm and got no where with them. I've also researched the problem and have found similar complaints on saturn sky blogs and car reviews, including gms website. Attach is a screen shot of my chat with gm

Takata recall. I have been trying for a year to get this recall taken care of. My vehicle needs the module and it is unavailable. I have had it to the dealership and they determined that it requires the part, but they can't get the part so my car is sitting with expired inspection now and I can't drive it. I think gm is not intending to make this part available but htey don't want anyone to know that.

Airbag need servicing light is always on, can't read mileage. The seat belt, or seat light stays on. These things are on at all times, starting, stopping,and driving. I'm not sure what will happen with the airbag service light, will the airbag blow at anytime or what.
2007 saturn sky redline. Consumer writes in regards to passenger side airbag suppression system safety recall. *ld the consumer stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time completing the recall repair.
While driving on surface streets with a passenger, a dashboard warning light indicating a problem with the airbag system came on. I contacted onstar and had them run a diagnostic: I was told they couldn't tell what was wrong and there was no recall for anything to do with the airbag system. I find it reprehensible that this recall is a year old and 1- I was never contacted about it and 2- gm *still* has it listed as "recall status: incomplete. Remedy not yet available"
General motors created a recall on january 26, 2017 for an active fault in the pps system. However, more than a year has passed and the status for the recall has remained: "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available". This timeline seems excessive.
