: the contact stated the air bag light intermittently illuminates. The vehicle has not been in an accident. The dealership was alerted and the clock spring was replaced however this did not correct the problem. The vehicle was inspected by a technician who determined the contact's daughter must have damaged the module. The contact explained the module was not damaged. The manufacturer has been alerted and agreed with the technician's analysis.

I have not been in an accident but my airbag light continues to come on while I am driving. I called the dealership and they stated that if the light was on and I happen to be in an accident, my airbag would not deploy. I have taken my car to the dealership 2 times and they can never seem to find a problem. This light has been doing this for about 2 months now. I even called Saturn and they have my complaint on file.
