NHTSA Complaint #10275297 — 2007 SATURN AURA

I DRIVE A 2007 SATURN AURA AND RECENTLY THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD ONSTAR DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY ONSTAR PERSONAL STATED THAT THE CODE REGARDING THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT, MEANT THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IF I WAS IN A WRECK. SHE STATED THAT IT WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I HAVE TALKED WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SATURN AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE TO GET THE PART BECAUSE IT IS ON BACK ORDER, MEANING THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN MY CAR THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAD SPOKEN TO A LADY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO MY LIGHT COMING ON AND SHE HAD STATED THAT SHE WAS THERE FOR THAT SAME REASON. SHE ALSO DRIVES A 2007 SATURN AURA. I FEEL THAT SINCE THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING A LOT, THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. LET ME REMIND YOU THAT MOST PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A SEDAN IS USUALLY KIDS. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR
