Service air bag light came on on car,l occurred one day randomly turning on car, looked around online and turns out it is a very very common issue. Huge safety hazard because passenger airbag stays permanently off. In order to repair have to replace the whole bottom seat.

Faulty airbag sensor, will not pass va state safety inspection. I have gotten numerous tickets due to this issue. Need a recall today!!!!!! This is just ridiculous.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. While turning, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained head injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.
Vehicle has standard transmission. Service air bag warning came on during trip with passenger in passenger seat. Vehicle has approximately 62,000 miles. Able to extinguish warning light but returns every time ignition turned on. Passenger airbag indicator will not engage.
2007 saturn sky redline at about 20000 miles service airbag light came on while passenger seat was occupied driving on highway about 50mph. Light came on intermittently whether seat was occupied or not. Now seems to stay on continually.
Passenger sensing system for passenger side airbags shows pasgr presence module invalid data, gm dealer says they will replace only if I pay about $900. I investigated and found the federal safety agency action number dp16001 may 16 2016. I want to add my vehicle into this claim. This is a severe issue just because no one has been injured doesn't lessen the importance this could be handled by gm by volunteering to replace and repair when a vehicle comes to their service center for the defect
My passenger airbag light came on. When I took my vehicle to the dealer, I was told repairs were going to be close to $1,000.00! While searching for information on this, I discovered hundreds of saturn sky and pontiac solstice owners having the exact same problem. If this is a defective piece, that involves passenger safety and lives, this needs to be addressed asap. Thank you.
Getting check airbag light. Appears issue with passenger side airbag sensor.
The passenger air bag sensor has been intermittent for the last year and on a recent trip failed to function during actual driving, disabling the air bag, turned on the "service airbag" display and light and would not clear. This occurred several times and then became permanent. The seat was occupied and it was a intermittent failure that became permanent. Since the fairlure occurred while away from home and on the weekend, took the vehicle to a shop who read the code (b0081) tried to further diagnose the failure and then indicated the most probable cause was the ppu unit (whatever that is) there were none available locally so drove the car home (columbus oh to dallas, tx) and parked it being careful with my driving as my wife was in the passenger seat. Doing internet searches indicated that this is a common problem with the car and gm has refused to acknowledge it because the car is no longer in production even though the problem existed during the actual production cycle. Why does g?m not recall the car with an obvious safety defect that can affect lives??
Faulty passenger presence air bag module at 10,264 miles
Service air bag light came on motion
The airbag detection system, which are housed in seat sensors in the passenger front seat have failed
At about 31,000 miles while driving down the road with a passenger the airbag off light flashed on and off several times finally ending up off with a service airbag message.was traveling about 65 miles per hour on freeway.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. While the vehicle was stationary, the passenger air bag sensor remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 55,000.
The passenger presence module failed with less than 45000 miles on the vehicle. Passenger side air bag function is disabled. This is a high failure rate item on this vehicle and its sister vehicle the pontiac solstice. The vehicle is stored indoors and well maintained without abuse. The part is available for inspection upon request
Air bag seat sensor failure will not pass safety inspection in my state. Va.
Airbag warning indicator stays lit. On the dic and cluster. Noticed this about 2 weeks ago. This is a major safety hazard that needs to be addressed before someone gets killed. Assuming no one has yet. Airbags will not operate when warning lights are on.
My vehilce has 39,00 miles on it. The service airbag light stays on. I contacted gm and they said no recalls at this time and to check back periodically. Therefore if we all have this problem then definitely there is a need for gm to check all of this out. And most of these vehicles has very low miles on them.
The airbag light lit up, the dealer checked it out and said it was the passenger seat occupancy sensor. Said it was the same one that was recalled on cadillac cts but was t recalled on the saturn ! I also check with the cadillac dealership that the car came from and they said the same thing! I looked online and found this to be a common complaint, sent an e-mail to gm and received no response! Thanks for any help. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. While driving approximately various speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the passenger seat sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. After the vehicle was started, the passenger side air bag off warning indicator illuminated. The contact replaced the passenger side bottom cushion per the dealer's recommendation, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 74,000.
After a gm ignition recall on saturn sky--we received notice and took our car to the gm shop to do the work. However now the "airbag warning light" stays on---we did much research and replaced the passenger side seat cushion and sensor-----this did not result in the airbag warning light going off--we took it to the gm dealer to do a diagnostic to see why the seat/sensor replacement did not fix the problem and they state the seat is properly installed and it is not causing the airbag warning light issue---but they did not tell us what was the diagnosed problem. Many saturn sky owners have written to you and are very concerned about the safety of their families, the fact they cannot pass state required safety inspections; which renders their gm product completely useless. Gm has never responded to these issues for saturn sky owners or for pontiac solstice owners and the federal safety agency likewise have not responded to this dangerous issue, despite numerous complaints. Many other air bag issues have been addressed by your board for a variety of vehicles---why not this one? I will be approaching my state and federal representatives with this concern as well; it is a public safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately. My husband has also written to the federal safety agency has never responded. Will you respond now?
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. While driving 55 MPH, the passenger side air bag light remained illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 46,000.
Air bag activation is malfuctioning. The passenger airbag is designed to activate when someone sits in the seat. It is not doing so.
Passabger airbag sensor stopped working after a friend weight 185 sat in the seat at 64k miles
The airbag warning light has just come on, on my 2007 saturn sky. After getting the error code scanned air bag code b0081. I was informed that there is a problem with the passenger presence system. After speaking to the gm service manager and mechanic who diagnosed the problem with my vehicle and doing some research, I quickly learned this is a known problem and issue for the 2007 saturn sky as with the cadillac cts and kia. Both vehicles have been recalled for the same issue. Based on the number of complaints for the passenger airbag safety system. Why has no recall been issued to solve this malfunctioning system?
Failure of passenger seat seat sensor, once covered under extended warranty, and now has failure again.car has less than 25000 miles on it. Pps failed first time at 8100 miles
Passenger side airbag warning light is coming on intermittently. Did some research, appears this is a "common problem" with all the sky/solstice cars due to a defective seat sensor. My car is a low mileage, garage kept car with only 42k miles on it. This should not happen. Also, if other makes and models have had this airbag sensor recalled, why has gm not recalled the sky/solstice; are the passengers safety not as important in our cars?
Service air bag light is constantly illuminated. Car has 31500 miles on it.
I get a "service air bag" message when I start the car. This was previously repaired in 2011 after I got the same message at that time. This is a problem with the passenger air bag and it has been diagnosed as the air bag sensor module needs to be replaced. I understand from web searches that this problem is occurring often for this model of the saturn sky.
