Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Electrical system affected . Some dash panel lights not working & airbag light staying on
Tried to have the car inspected and they told me it wouldn't pass inspection because of my airbag light on . They did a diagnostic and it said my passenger seat would need to be replaced or get the sensor for the part. Unfortunately the don't make the pieces for the car anymore . You have to go to a junk yard , but even they haven't had any any of the pieces.
The airbag warning light comes on when it is hot outside and will stay on for several days while in motion and while stationary, on city streets and on the highway. It may go off for a little bit, such as 5 miles, then come back on or it may stay on. These days can be both hot and humid or just hot with not a lot of humidity. I am concerned because of possible deployment which could cause injury or maybe it won't deploy at all if it was in a crash. I had the computer system read on 6/25/2018 and was told it is showing that it is something in the passenger seat. This has been happening since summer 2015.
2096 saturn vue, with front seat heaters. Air bag warning light lit, diagnostic code bc092. Replacement part 15785010 is no longer available per dealership. After reconnecting wiring(left disconnected by dealership) and turning passenger heater switch on, error code could be cleared to turn off warning light. While off, passenger detection works ok and passenger air bag is activated. It only stays fixed for less than a day. Has left the error light lit and the passenger air bag disabled for over a year. Notice about 100 or so similar complaints on 2006 saturn vue's here; I wonder if the equivalent chevy suvs have the same problem.
Passenger air bag indicator on dash board continues to say no when passenger is in seat. If passenger heated seat is turned, heated seat does not work but air bag indicator on dash board says on when passenger is in seat. Situation is constant whether vehicle is moving or stationary.
Takata recall. My airbag light has been randomly going on and off. Some days I will turn my car on and it will stay on for awhile and then I will turn off and start back up and it will be off.
Takata recall. My airbag light has been on consistently for the past few months. Came on one day I got in the car to leave for work it went off and came back on several days later and has been on ever since. I reached out to saturn to be told there is no recall on this issue, even though I have seen several complaints online about it. I was told I needed to set and appointment to have it looked at, which would cost $100 just to look at it. I have noticed people online paying over $1000 to have the light issue repaired to have the same issue again. Now I cannot pass inspection because of the indicator staying on.
We just purchased a 2006 saturn vue, one owner, low miles (53,000). Had an auto check done and was happy it hasn't been in an accident and the auto check stated that there were no recalls. After having for two weeks the air bag warning light started coming on and indicating that there is a problem with the airbag system. This has happened several times. So I did some research on the internet about the subject and was shocked to see that this is a recurring problem that there seems to be no recall on. The research shows that airbags are not inflating or operating properly. Now I'm concerned about the safety of our vehicle and not having funds to repair such an expensive problem since gm has quit making the saturn. Please initiate a recall, so many lives depend on this.
Airbag warning light won't go off or service light.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 saturn vue. The contact stated that the air bag warning light remained illuminated. The contact also stated that the passenger side air bag warning indicator remained illuminated with a passenger seated in the front seat. The contact further stated that there was an abnormal knocking sound in the air bag housing on the passenger side dashboard of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the dealer refused to diagnose the vehicle. The contact was informed by the service department that there was no proof of a failure in the air bag. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000.
Problem has been happening since around 2008 (maybe sooner). The air bag warning light will come on while driving, and turn off/on at random while driving at almost any speed. I've taken the vehicle to the dealer multiple times and reported the problem, and each time that are unable to reproduce the problem. This is a constant issue, yet the dealer can never find an error code on the computer or reproduce the problem, even when they kept the vehicle for multiple days.
