2007 saturn sky traveling in excess of 50 MPH with traffic south on rt2 in edgewater md in the right lane of a 6 lane divided highway. A 2007 kia traveling east across the 6 lanes of traffic failed to stop for stop sign. Sky hit kia head on in to the passenger side of the kia centered on the pillar between the front and back doors. Air bags in the 2007 sky failed to deploy.
Saturn sky fitted with goodyear eagle f1 gs-2 tires. Because of no traction on slick roadway, car spun out while slowly accelerating, crossed two lanes, and hit guardrail. Anti-lock brakes and counter steering had no effect.
On july 23, 2008, at approximately 1:30 a.m. I was driving a 2007 saturn sky approximately 40 MPH down the road. While driving, I placed my left signal light on and began to attempt to change lanes. At this time, while attempting to change lanes, the steering wheel turned to the left, however the tires did not respond. As a result of the malfunction, I was forced to slam on the brakes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn sky. The contact stated the service air bag light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic who performed a diagnostic test which located the failure within the passenger air bag sensor. The manufacturer offered some assistance with the repair cost; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 74,955.
Had my ignition switch replaced for a recall on 7/3/14. On july 25th I had my first passenger since the ignition switch work enter the vehicle. As soon as the person seated themselves on the passenger seat I received a warning on the information center of the car stating 'service airbag soon' and the airbag indicator showed that the airbag was 'off' even though someone was seated there. This was not a 'one time incident, and has not resolved itself and continues to be this way.
