2006 Saturn Vue

THE PASSGENGER SEAT AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON INDICATING THE AIR BAG IS NOT ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AFTER A FEW MILES BUT NOW IT DOESN'T THE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I HAD IT CHECKED AT THE DEALERS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST 1199.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY SO IT DID NOT GET FIXED. I AM THINKING THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT! WILL THE AIRBAG COME ON IF I AM IN A CRASH? I DON'T LIKE TAKING THAT CHANCE. *JS

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTED AT 25K MILES AND CONTINUES THROUGH TODAY MAY 5, 2014 DOORS UNLOCKING WHILE DRIVING . BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER AIRBAGS LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF AT WILL. ALL PANEL LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT. I HAVE REPLACED PARKING, BACKUP AND HEAD LIGHTS 4 TIMES IN THIS VEHICLE. TAG LIGHT KEEPS BLOWING, AND I HAVE REPLACED 4 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS I JUST REPLACED THEM SAT MAY 2 AND ONE IS OUT NOW. I HAVE TO REPLACE FUSES EVERY MONTH FOR VARIOUS THINGS REPEATEDLY THE FRONT OR ROOF INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON EVERY MORNING AND THEY ARE NOT IN THE ON POSITION. THE SPEAKERS FADE IN AND OUT I FEEL LIKE I GOT A LEMON WITH THIS VEHICLE YEAR AND I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY PAYING FOR DEALERS TO TRACE THE ELECTRICAL BUT THEY ALWAYS CLAIM THEY CANNOT LOCATE ANY PROBLEMS. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER 3 SATURN'S I PURCHASED. UGH! *TR
