The airbag light began coming on at random times and now remains on. I took it to my mechanic and was told that the entire passenger seat module had to be replaced at the cost of approx. $1,000.00. With this current malfunction, if I were to be involved in an accident with a passenger, the passenger's airbag would not deploy. This is a safety issue that should be covered/fixed by the manufacturer.

Airbag warring light on dash came on and then went off. Over a period of several months the light would come on more often. Now the light is on almost all of the time. I believe if a crash occurs, the airbags would not deploy and injury or death may occur. This should be a safety recall.

I was driving on the interstate (i90) near rockford il when all of the sudden my side curtain air bags deployed. There was no accident and the front air bags did not deploy. The seat belts locked up and the lights started flashing. This issue has not been resolved through gm. My insurance company says they wont fix it because it was not in an accident. Gm has not been helpful at all. Gm had an independent investigator out. The investigator said it was obvious it was not in an accident. Gm has been very vague in its response. Only saying that they believe the air bag system is ok, "something must have made it go off".

I bought a 2007 saturn vue from a dealer as well and my air bag on the passenger side comes on a lot to. It is on when no one is sitting in it but turns off when someone does sit in it. No matter the size or weigh of that person sometimes it will say it is on sometimes it will say it has been turned off. Not sure if there is really anything wrong with the airbag or it is just a light telling you there is. On-star says that airbags are fine though. Little concerned if there is something wrong with the airbags because that is one heck of a lawsuit they will have on there hands if we are to ever get in an accent and the airbags did not deploy. If it was indeed a manufacturing issue and it seems to be the case here, it should be fixed for free and fast for safety reasons. *tr
