NHTSA Complaint #11021195 — 2006 SATURN VUE

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD HAS COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS BOTH IN MOTION. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS REALLY HOT, BUT THEN IT CAME ON WHEN IT WAS ABOUT 75 DEGREES OUTSIDE. IT SOMETIMES WOULD STAY ON FOR 50 OR MORE MILES AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD STAY ON FOR ONLY A MILE OR TWO. THOSE SHORT TIMES IT WOULD GO OFF FOR MAYBE A MILE OR SOMETIMES 3-4 MILES THEN COME BACK ON. WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WOULD SMELL FAINTLY LIKE SOMETHING WAS HOT OR MAYBE LIKE GUN POWDER. IT HASN'T COME ON FOR A MONTH NOW. SOMETIMES I THOUGHT IT WAS WHEN I HIT A BUMP THAT IT WOULD COME ON OR GO OFF. BUT IT DID IT WHEN THE ROAD WAS NOT BUMPY. IT DID IT LAST SUMMER AND THIS SUMMER. IT WOULD SOMETIMES BE ON WHEN I SHUT THE IGNITION OFF, BUT NOT ALWAYS. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, BUT NOT ALWAYS. IT DID IT BOTH IN TOWN AND WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING.
