What owners wrote
The vehicles air bag warning light appeared in my dash upon starting my vehicle today. The passenger seat is not registering that someone is sitting in the seat. According to GM {owner of the late saturn)the passenger airbag will not deploy if I were to get into an accident while the light is illuminated and quoted me almost $1,100.00 to fix it. My friends sky is doing the same thing, everyone seems to be driving around with faulty airbag systems! How is this not a safety issue? Recall!
Returned vehicle to dealer for pps recall, invoice states reinforcement installed, airbag warning light and display indicator now stays on constantly when ignition is on.
