2007 SATURN SKY Unknown Or Other Problems

I have experienced peeling of the chrome plating (over plastic) on the INSIDE door release handle on the DRIVER'S side door. When I first noticed this, I cut my fingers on the peeling chrome plating. I had to continually cut back the sharp edge, or carefully reach over it, to prevent further cuts to my fingers. The door handle is not available as a service part from GM for the Saturn Sky (and similar Pontiac Solstice). According to parts catalogs, it was only available as part of the inner door assembly, which is long obsolete for the driver's door side. I was forced to adapt a part from the Chevrolet Cobalt (and used an aftermarket part from Dorman) to replace the handle when I got tired of dealing with cuts. There are a number of YouTube videos showing how to replace the handle, which indicates this is not a one-off...

THE FLUID LEAKED OUT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CAUSING A THUMPING AND GRINDING NOISE IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHEN MAKING RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I BELIEVE THE SEAL WAS REPLACED BUT HAS FAILED AGAIN AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR HAS 30,000 MILES WHICH IS RELATIVELY LOW FOR THAT YEAR. THE CAR AND IS USED PRIMARILY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AS I LIVE IN A SEMI NORTHERN STATE.

WITH THERE BEING NO RESOLUTION TO THE RECALL, IT'S CAUSING A HUGE HIT ON MY CREDIT SCORE. I'M NOT SURE WHY THAT WOULD BE, BUT WE NEED TO GET IT RESOLVED ASAP

AIR SEEMS LIKE WILL NO DEPLOYEE

MY CAR WAS INVOLVED WITH THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION. I DID HAVE THIS FIXED BY A DEALER AS DIRECTED. SOON AFTER THIS WAS FIXED MY CAR WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO CHARGED ME HUNDREDS TO TROUBLE SHOOT THIS ISSUE WITH NO RESOLVE. AFTER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER SHOP WHO ALSO CHARGED ME HUNDREDS AND COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE EITHER. I HEARD YOU WERE LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM WITH THE RECALL FIX AND WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH OTHER SKY OWNERS. I HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT A RECALL FROM GM, EVEN THOUGH GM HAS RECALLS FOR THE SAME PART ON OTHER MODELS.
