I have just paid to replace the passenger seat cushion where the sensor for the passenger airbag is. The passenger airbag light came on in my car and the mechanic discovered that the sensor was not working, therefore they were unable to say whether the airbag would correctly deploy in an accident situation. I am unable to upload the receipt due to file size. The mechanic indicated they could provide details if necessary.

I had work done after steering column due to a faulty sensor causing ABS warning light to come on. The. Not long after that my airbag warning light would come on intermittently especially when using my turning signal. The vehicle was taken to dealership twice and was told nothing wrong could be found. So I did some research about other saturn and gm owners having the same problem and it was determine to be a faulty airbag clock spring or connector. Now I am driving a vehicle where I really don't know if the airbags will deploy if I am in a accident.

Very upset that alot of gmc vehicles/saturns are on a recall for airbag problems. Except mine!!! My airbag light came on for the driver's side twice now. First in dec 2014 then suddenly went off. Took it to the dealership in april (light came on again) to have it repaired. Then messed with the wires and got the light out but said if it came on again it would need replaced. Well it's on again and it will be about $1,500+ to have it repaired!! This is obviously a manufacturing defect!! Air-bags don't wear out! This is a significant safety issue which should be taken care of by gmc!!!

The vehicle was at the dealership for a different repair. Upon driving the car off the lot on friday, I noticed that the air bag light was illuminated. I immediately returned to the dealership. On the following monday, I was told that the air bag module had failed, causing the air bags to become inoperable. This car has experienced major electrical failures including ignition failure/replacement, HVAC module failure/replacement, body control module failure/replacement, brake sensor failure/replacement and now the airbag module failure/replacement. This vehicle needs to be taken off of the roads due to severe safety hazards and systems failure.

I got in the vehicle and turn the ignition , the dashboard cluster warning lights lit up blinking off and on. The vehicle started with the warning lights continuing to blink off and on. I turned the ignition switch off and tried to start vehicle again, but it would not start and the dashboard did not light up, but rather only the mileage indicator dimly lit up. I waited 5 minutes and the vehicle started up with dashboard working properly. With months later on I noticed the AC would go haywire blowing hot air via vent and I could not turn it off or get any cold air to blow.this would all happen intermittently. Then the backup light would come on and off intermittently, but within a minute it would stay off. Then as time passed I noticed the low fuel indicator stayed on permemently and the airbag light and tire pressure light would come on intermittently when I turned left using the the turn signal and then off when I turn right using turn signal. I took it to dealership and they found multiple dtc of loss communication with various modules and loose negative terminal and had to recalibrate all AC actuators. I had checked the battery terminals prior to taking car into dealership and they were tight. I picked up the vehicle and noticed low fuel light was still on and on way home the heater came on full blast via vent and when I turned controls off nothing worked. Then the airbag light and tire pressure light came on like before intermittently. The next day the AC worked fine, but there is occationally a loud popping sound from underneith dash. I took it back to dealership and waiting to get the vehicle back.

My airbag light started coming on about eight months ago. The light was continuously lit any time the car was running. It would not go off. I receive monthly diagnostic checks on my car from onstar. It kept alerting me for months that I had safety issues with my airbag system. I kept thinking the light just would not go off. After the continued persistence by the onstar alerts, and emphatic warnings to call them and have a diagnostic run on the system while I was in the car, I finally did. The operator at onstar told me that I had a serious problem with my airbags, and that they may not deploy in an accident. They strongly recommended that I check with my car dealer. I contacted general motors and told them about the issue I was having. I stressed that I feared driving in this dangerous situation, where the airbag would not work properly in a crash. I told them that I needed to have the problem checked. After stressing my concerns , gm give me the go ahead to take the vehicle to have a diagnostic check done on the airbags. The car dealer, crews chevrolet, in sc, found that the airbag was defective! I called gm representatives with the report of the inspection of the airbag module. The gm representative actually talked with the crews representative to understand the problem with the airbag. Gm then said that they would have my case looked at by their superiors and make a decision about how to proceed. I waited for several days and then recalled general motors to get guidance on when to take the car in for repairs. Crews quoted the cost at $880.00. Gm said it would only assist the cost by paying $264.00. That the airbag was out of warranty. My problem with this is---how can something as crucial as airbags be under warranty? I was shocked that the value of my life was worth less than $880 to them. I was them to replace the airbags at total cost!

2008 saturn vue has electrical malfunction. 3 months ago I parked my car in the garage, turned car off but the key would not come out of the ignition. The car would not start either. Called a tow truck, took to local mechanic. He advised the ignition switch was faulty and installed new ignition. Today new electrical problem occurred. Airbag light came on and off multiple times then stayed on. When car was re started light was off but came back on after about 15 minutes. I believe this vehicle should have been included in recall. It appears to have exactly the same issues. Updated 11/24/2014
