2007 Saturn Vue

I OWN A 2007 SATURN VUE WHICH WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN MAY 2007. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES FOR WEEKS BEFORE IT WILL TURN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS SO THEY SAY. RIGHT AFTER I BRING THE VEHICLE HOME THE PROBLEM BEGINS AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO PAY FOR A REPAIR WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN READING THE SAME PROBLEM FROM QUITE A FEW OWNERS. WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE FOR THAT MATTER BEFORE THE MANUFACTURE WILL DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY? THE PART PROBABLY DOESN'T COST THAT MUCH FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO FIX BUT THEY WOULD RATHER RISK GETTING SUED FOR MILLIONS THAN FIX A $$ PROBLEM. OH THE SHAME!

DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS (IF ON, IT WOULD STAY ON THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TRIP BUT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY COME ON THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED). MORE RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND STAYING DURING EVERY TRIP. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THIS IS A GLITCH IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (COMING ON AND OFF WOULD INDICATE THAT IT IS) OR IF THE AIR BAGS AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY.

IGNITION LOCKED COULD TURN KEY OR PULL OUT AND/OR START VEHICLE. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS. THE MOST ONE I AM CONCERNED WITH IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON & OFF, MOSTLY STAYS ON. THIS STARTED SOMETIME AROUND AUGUST, 2014. I HAVE TAKE A PICTURE OF IT ON MY PHONE & WILL FORWARD WITH ANOTHER E-MAIL. I'VE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE VIN# & HAVE NONE. I KNOW THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS, I'VE HEARD. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS SOON AS I TRAVEL TO WORK EVERYDAY & SOMETIMES TAKE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME & I AM CONCERN SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING & THEY ARE WITH ME. YOU CAN SEND ANY INFO TO MY E-MAIL ADDRESS: [XXX] OR PH# [XXX]; AND/OR BY MAIL. THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND SMOKE BEGAN COMING FROM AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY CAR. A SYMBOL OF A PERSON HOLDING A AIRBAG APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD, I THEN FELT THAT THE AIRBAG WAS GOING TO DEPLOY. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OUT OF TRAFFIC INTO A AUTO ZONE. AWORKER SEEN THE SMOKE, AND FELT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE SMOKE IS COMING FROM AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL. HE SAID "GET OUT OF YOUR CAR, IT'S DANGEROUS! THE AIRBAG LIGHTS FOR BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE COME ON AND OFF. MY SATURN IS PAID FOR, AND I'M UNEMPLOYED RIGHT NOW AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO INVEST IN A NEW VEHICLE. WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRUSTED THE INDUSTRY? *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON AT RANDOM TIMES AND NOW REMAINS ON. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF APPROX. $1,000.00. WITH THIS CURRENT MALFUNCTION, IF I WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A PASSENGER, THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED/FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

AIR BAG LITES (MAIN AND PASSENGER SEAT) GO ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY AND FOR NO REASON, ONE SOMETIMES BOTH. HITTING A BUMP SOMETIMES CHANGED THERE SETTING, EITHER ON OR OFF. CURRENTLY THEY ARE MOSTLY OFF. GM DEALERS AND INDEPENDENT SHOPS WANT $110 TO $200 TO ANALYZE AND $700 TO $1200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO THE DAYLITE RUNNING LITE INDICATOR NO LONGER WORKS, THE SEAT BELT ALARM (NOT FASTENED) DOESN'T ALWAYS SOUND AND THEN COMES ON 3 OR 4 MINUTES LATER, AND THE HEATER DOESN'T ALWAYS "HEAT". *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,633.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR WHEN MY GAS GOES DOWN BELOW A HALF TANK. STEERING BECOMES A BIT MORE STIFF WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. IT DOES EVENTUALLY GO OUT. WHEN I AM IN AND OUT OF THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY THE LIGHT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN COME ON. MY BRAKES ACT STRANGELY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES DONE SO I KNOW THEY ARE OKAY. IT WORRIES ME THAT THE AIRBAG JUST RANDOMLY COMES ON. *TR
