Passenger presence module is loose or not functioning properly which means the airbag may deploy during or not when there's an accident! warning light comes on to check passenger airbag module. Had estimates to cost me over $1000 the car is in great condition and wasn't ever wrecked! it just stopped working without a cause. It's 10 years old, garage kept and only has 43,200 miles on it. I had 3 recalls already on the rear main seal and twice on the ignition switch where it would just shut down everything almost causing a near fatal accident getting off ramp onto I-80 tractor trailer just missed me!

My 2007 Saturn Sky with 81,000 miles on it displayed "service air bag", took it to GM dealer who diagnosed it as a passenger presence system (pps) fault and said the cost for repair would be $1000+. I paid them their diagnostic time ($105) and elected to repair myself. Removal of passenger seat bottom cover indicated a break in the flexible circuit pad which detects passenger presence. Cost for replacement seat cushion assembly (includes pps) from GM is over $400 but still cheaper than paying dealer for this work. This is discussed all over the internet and a common issue with the Sky & solstice and GM recalls have been made on other vehicles having similar issues (ie: Cadillac cts) but GM refuses to issue a recall on the Sky or solstice. This is a very costly repair for such an important safety device with known flaws in it (plastic ribbon cables cannot withstand repeated force applications forever). I understand most people elect to just continue driving with this issue, due to the extremely high cost of repairs, which leaves an adult passenger unprotected during a crash with airbag deployment (pps deactivates passenger side airbag if child is present. GM should be forced to issue a recall on this or provide extended warranty on this safety critical item.

Passenger presence module went bad. Trips the air bag sensor to go off and can only be reset by dealer. Airbag will not deploy when a passenger is in the seat in an event of an accident. This has been a known safety issue for years.

- Spring, TX, USA

Service air bag light came on on car, L occurred one day randomly turning on car, looked around online and turns out it is a very very common issue. Huge safety hazard because passenger airbag stays permanently off. In order to repair have to replace the whole bottom seat.

Faulty airbag sensor, will not pass va state safety inspection. I have gotten numerous tickets due to this issue. Need a recall today!!!!!! this is just ridiculous.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Sky. While turning, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained head injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

2007 Saturn Sky redline at about 20000 miles service airbag light came on while passenger seat was occupied driving on highway about 50mph. Light came on intermittently whether seat was occupied or not. Now seems to stay on continually.

Passenger sensing system for passenger side airbags shows pasgr presence module invalid data, GM dealer says they will replace only if I pay about $900. I investigated and found NHTSA action number DP16001 May 16 2016. I want to add my vehicle into this claim. This is a severe issue just because no one has been injured doesn't lessen the importance this could be handled by GM by volunteering to replace and repair when a vehicle comes to their service center for the defect

- Spring, TX, USA

My passenger airbag light came on. When I took my vehicle to the dealer, I was told repairs were going to be close to $1,000! while searching for information on this, I discovered hundreds of Saturn Sky and Pontiac solstice owners having the exact same problem. If this is a defective piece, that involves passenger safety and lives, this needs to be addressed asap. Thank you.

Getting check airbag light. Appears issue with passenger side airbag sensor.

- Glen Ellyn, IL, USA

The passenger air bag sensor has been intermittent for the last year and on a recent trip failed to function during actual driving, disabling the air bag, turned on the "service airbag" display and light and would not clear. This occurred several times and then became permanent. The seat was occupied and it was a intermittent failure that became permanent. Since the fairlure occurred while away from home and on the weekend, took the vehicle to a shop who read the code (B0081) tried to further diagnose the failure and then indicated the most probable cause was the ppu unit (whatever that is) there were none available locally so drove the car home (columbus oh to dallas, tx) and parked it being careful with my driving as my wife was in the passenger seat. Doing internet searches indicated that this is a common problem with the car and GM has refused to acknowledge it because the car is no longer in production even though the problem existed during the actual production cycle. Why does G"M not recall the car with an obvious safety defect that can affect lives?"

The passenger presence module failed with less than 45000 miles on the vehicle. Passenger side air bag function is disabled. This is a high failure rate item on this vehicle and its sister vehicle the Pontiac solstice. The vehicle is stored indoors and well maintained without abuse. The part is available for inspection upon request

Air bag seat sensor failure will not pass safety inspection in my state. Va.

- Montross, VA, USA

Airbag warning indicator stays lit. On the dic and cluster. Noticed this about 2 weeks ago. This is a major safety hazard that needs to be addressed before someone gets killed. Assuming no one has yet. Airbags will not operate when warning lights are on.
