seat belts / air bags problem
Yes, the car is older (2007), but it has been garage kept and had only 12,000 miles when the failure occurred. Not sure how many of those miles included a passenger actually sitting in the passenger seat (~60% = 7200mi?). Hard to believe the switch could fail with so little use, even harder to believe it costs $700 parts + labor (as quoted by the dealer).
This is obviously a flawed safety system. I'm thinking the design would have been extensively tested, so the issue may be coming from a change in the manufacturing process or possibly a change in the material supply? In any case, you would think an issue with a safety system would be addressed by the MFG as a recall. Am I doomed to pay $1K every 7-10K Mi to keep this system operational?

As complained by most Saturn Sky owners this should be recalled. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! Is it really going to take more deaths to have this considered "re-callable"? I now have both airbag lights on and estimated cost of repairs is close $1500. Come on GM, THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. When I bought the car in Aug. 2014, it only had 30000 miles on it and I got it super cheap great deal, so I thought, then this happened. Now driver airbag problem what next ......
