What owners wrote
I was driving in my subdivision and the curtain air bags went off in my 2007 saturn vue hybrid. I swerved and ran into a tree causing massive frontal damage and the driver-side air bag to deploy. My 3-year-old daughter was in the back passenger child car seat and was ok but I was diagnosed with chest, knee, hip, and nose contusions, still healing after 4+ days. The car was a total loss per allstate. I have no idea what caused the curtain air bags to go off but see on carcomplaints.com there are many airbag issues.
Air bag warning light comes on periodically. Went to a dealership back when it first started happening. Was told it would cost about $300.00 to check it out. They would not tell me if other customers had brought in saturns for this type of problem. I believe this is a safety hazard issue from the manufacturer and I should not have to pay to get it corrected. Obviously, this has been a known problem for some time with these vehicles. When will it be addressed?
