In 2019 I took my car in for a recall I had received. It was for the PPS. Instead of replacing the faulty system, they simply put a "reinforcement" piece of tape over the faulty system. I rarely drive the car and I rarely have passengers. 2 years and almost 5k miles later, now the faulty system is broken. The sensor in the seat has failed. No surprise there. The dealership is trying to charge me $1400 to replace the faulty sensor that should have been replaced 2 years ago. This is causing anyone who possible is a passenger in my car to be at risk, since now that the sensor is broken, the air bag will not deploy. Other people with this car have had or are having the same issue. I do not understand why a tape fix was approved and implemented for something so serious as the safety of my passengers.

I took my 2009 Saturn Sky redline to a GM dealer on 9/18/2018 for GM recall 17036. They performed the work (installed reinforcement), but less than 2 years later, with less than 2500 miles since the repair, the "service airbag" light came on. On 9/2/2020, I took it back to the dealer, who says the passenger seat sensor must be replaced, at a cost to me of $1182. This is a safety issue for which GM should be responsible. The car was barely used since the recall work was done, and it's obvious that the sensor was on the verge of failure at that time. Total mileage on the car now is 25,000.

Yearly, I try to get my airbag recall completed and no dealership can support my request.

- Canton, MI, USA

Passenger air bag recall 17036 issue after the temporary fix with the same issue but the $1200 module kit needing to be replaced. This issue is for the passengers being at risk when riding in the car. A complete fix of the recall should be completed not a temporary fix. It shouldn't cost the car owner an extreme cost of $1200 for something that should have been fixed in the recall.

- Kings Mountain, NC, USA

Passenger side seat air bag suppression module needs service. Dealership says that it will be $1200 for the repair, but I found a recall (17V061000) for the same problem, but when I enter my VIN, it doesn't say my vehicle was included. They said neither air bag will function if this service light comes on. This vehicle is stored all winter. When we uncovered it this spring, the light was on.

Noticed in April 2017 that "service airbag" dash light has stayed on constantly. At the same time the "passenger air bag" indicator always displays"off". thai is while a passenger is sitting in the seat. The car has 23,228 miles currently. I believe it is a safety issue. I'm worried that system may not work in a car crash.

GM 2009 Saturn Sky passenger side air bag seat occupancy sensor has prematurely gone bad at 14,000 miles. Light comes on while driving the passenger side air bag system is disabled. This is the same sensor as the GM Cadillac cts which has a recall, but the Saturn Sky does not. I have taken to a GM dealer, tested and they say the passenger side air bag will not deploy with the bladder sensor bad. On the Saturn Sky forum, this is happening to most all Saturn Sky's and Pontiac solstice cars (which are out of production) but this is still a safety issue. I would hate to think of an accident occurring and GM and the NHTSA knowing of this issue from numerous complaints since 2014 and still not recalled as of today May 26, 2016! GM waited too long on the key issue, they should not wait on the air bag sensor issue as the Cadillac cts currently has a recall!
