Common 2007 Saturn Sky problems
The Saturn Sky, a roadster introduced in 2005 and released as a 2007 model, is known for its stylish design and impressive performance. However, like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems that potential buyers should be aware of.
- Airbag Issues: The most common problem with the Saturn Sky is related to the airbags, with 340 issues reported on CarProblemZoo
- Service Brakes and Hydraulic Problems: The second most common problem with the Saturn Sky involves the vehicle's service brakes and hydraulic system, with 77 issues reported.
- Low Front Chin: The Saturn Sky's low front chin is another common problem that can lead to damage to the car's front end when parking in tight spaces or driving over curbs. This issue is unavoidable due to the car's design and can result in costly repairs.
- Door Handles Snapping: Some Saturn Sky owners have reported that the door handles can snap, which can be inconvenient and require costly repairs. This issue is not unique to the Saturn Sky and can be found in other vehicles as well.
- Cup Holders Breaking: The Saturn Sky's cup holders are also known to break, which can be frustrating for drivers who rely on them to hold their drinks while driving. This issue is not critical but can affect the overall user experience.
- Top Latch Loosening: The Saturn Sky's top latch can loosen, which can cause the roof to leak or not close properly. This issue can be dangerous in rainy or wet conditions and requires immediate attention from a qualified mechanic.
- Failing Trunk Support Brackets: The Saturn Sky's trunk support brackets can fail, which can cause the trunk to fall open unexpectedly. This issue can be dangerous, especially when driving at high speeds, and requires immediate attention from a qualified mechanic.
- Engine and Cooling Problems: According to Consumer Reports, the biggest problems with the Saturn Sky were engine and cooling, which again squares with the author's GM history. These issues can lead to costly repairs and decreased performance over time.
- Stabilitrak Issues: Some Saturn Sky owners have reported that the Stabilitrak system, which is designed to improve stability and control, can instead make the car unstable and difficult to control. This issue can be dangerous, especially when driving at high speeds or in tight turns.
In conclusion, while the Saturn Sky is a stylish and fun-to-drive car, it is not without its share of common problems. Potential buyers should be aware of these issues and take steps to address them before they become serious. Running a CARFAX report, visiting a GM dealership with the VIN to pull a report from the GM maintenance database, and ensuring that the airbags, brakes, and other critical systems are in good working order can help ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience.
Is a 2007 Saturn Sky roadster a good car?
Edmunds says
Though not as nimble or refined as a Mazda Miata, the 2007 Saturn Sky is nevertheless a willing canyon companion. This, in combination with its sharp styling, low price and everyday comfort, makes it a solid choice for a small roadster.
Why did they stop making Saturn Sky?
Due to the stipulations in the government bailout following GM's bankruptcy, the automaker was forced to end the Saturn brand altogether, as well as Pontiac and Hummer, which also resulted in the closure of GM's Lordstown assembly plant in 2009.
How many 2007 Saturn Skys were made?
Production by model year
| Model Year | Total Saturn Sky Production |

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-05-06
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: 1G8MB35B67Y
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: 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 problem.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-01
- VIN: 1G8MG35XX7Y
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: I received a recall notice for my Saturn Sky's airbag system in the mail. There was no service light on in my car, and I did not have any known problems, however, to be safe I took my car in. Now the service airbag light is on in my car and I am told that the part that was supposed to be fixed needs to be replaced. If it had been properly repaired or the part replaced when I took it in for the recall, I should not need to pay over $800 to replace it now. I read that the recall only required a piece of tape to be applied. A band aid? What kind of a recall does this?

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-03-28
- VIN: 1G8MB35B97Y
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: Vehicle was identified for Recall for passenger airbag system failure, and supposedly repaired or fixed. Called about the recall as the problem has shown up again as the repair is using the same parts that failed before causing the reason for the recall to begin with. Vehicle has a total of 43,000 miles as of this writing. Why was the recall using the same part instead of a correct repair? The condition allows for a failure of this system at anytime, but required to function by law. In addition the repair or reoccurring and ongoing repair due to poor design and defective design and construction with a system that does not work and will not pass inspection. Awaiting your response for correction action of ongoing problem.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-04-25
- VIN: 1G8MB35B47Y
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: i WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT, AND WHEN I REACHED A SPEED OF 55 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 55, SO THE NOISE WOULD GO AWAY, AND IT SCARED ME. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, I COULD HEAR SOUNDS FROM THE REAR WHILE MAKING SLOW TURNS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BEFORE BUYING THE CAR, I HAD A PAID INSPECTION, THE MECHANIC OBSERVED AN OIL DRIP FROM AROUND THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE CAR ONLY HAD 4000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE OWNER SAID SHE HAD TAKEN IT IN FOR A RECALL- #07204 - ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND HAD THE REAR PINION SEAL REPLACED. MY MECHANIC SAID THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING OIL CAUSING THE DIFFERENTIAL NOISES. HE DRAINED THE DIFF OIL ADDING NEW OIL.($175) IT APPEARS THAT THE RECALL REPAIR HAS FAILED TO FIX THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEAK. THE SELLER HAS THE ORIGINAL #07204 RECEIPT FROM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MILEAGE WAS 1,483. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 4,100 MILES- I ONLY DROVE IT FOR 1900 MILES. THE CAR NOW HAS 6,000 MILES ON IT. THE RECALL STATES If the vehicle is not repaired and damage progresses, three conditions can occur: (1) When the vehicle is stopped and shifted to reverse, the differential may jam and prevent vehicle movement; (2) the damage can cause drag that will feel like the brake is applied; or (3) the differential could jam and lock the drive wheels while the vehicle is in motion. If(3) occurs, the driver may not be able to control the vehicle and a crash could occur without warning. I AM CONVINCED THAT WITH THE LOW MILES, THE ORIGINAL RECALL HAD FAILED TO FIX THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEAK. IT CONTINUES TO LEAK. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL 2007 SILVER SATURN SKY, 6000 MILES. I AM 78 Y.O.& RETIRED. SINCE THE 1ST RECALL FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, COULD A FOLLOW-UP REMEDY RECALL BE HONORED TO ME SO THAT I COULD DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY? THANK YOU VERY KINDLY!

AIR BAGS,SEATS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-09-04
- VIN: 1G8MB35B27Y
- Components: AIR BAGS,SEATS
- Summary: Recall failure of airbag seat occupancy sensor. The car was taken to authorized dealer in 2018 for the recall. The sensor failed in 2021. The recall did not replace the seat sensor but only added reinforcement tape. In 2021 the air bag lights came on. An authorized dealer investigation found the airbag seat sensor had failed. GM was notifed through the dealer and replied the warranty was over and they are not responsible for the recall repair after the warranty period. The recall rectification appears to be poorly designed leading to eventual failure of the sensor leaving passengers unprotected.. Please follow-up with GM on this issue. I'm sure thousands of cars are affected.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-07-14
- VIN: 1g8mg35x07y
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: The recall that GM did was supposed to fix the problem but did not. I have a 07 Saturn Sky Redline. and was serviced for recall # 17036 or NHTSA recall number 17V061000 three years ago. This Recall was due to the faulty Passenger Pressure Module GM part number 84447741. I bought the car in to the dealer and waited two months for a NO, and then call the Saturn customer service recall line and talked with Camile. I explained that due to covid and no place to go the car has been driven a little over 3,000 miles and approximately my wife who weighs 130 pounds has set in the seat for 500 miles. Camile stated that due to the 1-year recall warranty for the passenger pressure module no matter how my miles it was driven. I informed Camile that when my wife sits in the seat the passenger airbag switches on and off constantly and that the recall that GM did was supposed to fix the problem but did not that I hope she understood that. I am the second owner and bought the car with 32000 miles, the Passenger pressure module has been changed three times since I have owned the car.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-04-01
- VIN: 1G8MG35X77Y
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: The passenger seat airbag sensor has failed for a second time. This issue was the subject of a GM recall 17036 dated May 2017. Under this recall my seat sensor failure was corrected. This car is driven very little (about 2000 miles per year average) and 99 percent of the time with no passenger. Battle Field Chevrolet says the warranty for the recall has expired and gave a written quote R.O. 6030264/1 dated 4/12/21 of $792.88 to repair/correct the failure. I have paper copies of the recall notice and the reference quote. This is a vehicle safety issue. A Passenger would be at risk riding in the seat until repaired. The vehicle cannot pass the annual state safety inspection until corrected. This is a design flaw on the part of General Motors and should again be repaired at no expense to the vehicle owner.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-06-18
- VIN: 1G8MB35BX7Y
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: HVAC blower motor stopped working via the control knob. Through online forums & repair guides, I did some troubleshooting to determine which component I might need to order (i.e. fuse, relay, blower motor assembly, blower resistor, etc). During that research, many others noted that the blower resistor is known to become defective, and that melting of the resistor & the harness connector are common. This is exactly the situation I found, and it is not at all unreasonable to conclude that this could have easily resulted in a fire. These same parts are shared by the Pontiac Solstice and the Hummer H3 (for which, I believe, a recall was issued). The parts to fix this problem are not overly expensive & readily available -- and the replacement process is not difficult. What IS difficult is to think this is a known problem which can (& has) caused vehicle fires, and yet no recall or official notice has been issued to warn vehicle owners.

2007 Saturn Sky recalls
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued 5 recalls for different components of the 2007 Saturn Sky.
2017-01-26
- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
- Components: AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION
- Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. The Passenger Air Bag Suppression System (PPS) sensor may become bent or damaged within the front passenger seat, possibly disabling the front passenger air bag.
- Consequence: In the event of a crash, if the front passenger air bag does not deploy as intended, the front passenger has an increased risk of injury.
- Remedy: The remedy for this recall is still under development. A permanent remedy is currently under development. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn customer service at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for this recall is 17036.
2014-04-30
- Manufacturer: UCI-FRAM Group
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
- Summary: UCI-FRAM Group is recalling certain LS1328 ignition Switches sold as Wells LS1328, Duralast LS1328, Airtex 1S6097, and Carquest 53-27479, and LS1497 Ignition Switches sold as Wells LS1497, Duralast LS1497, Airtex 1S10961, and Carquest 53-27967, for use on various General Motors model and model year vehicles during repair and replacement of the original ignition switch. The weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the affected ignition switches to move out of the run position, turning off the engine and disabling the air bags.
- Consequence: If the ignition switch moves from the run position to accessory, the car would stall and the air bags will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury to the occupants.
- Remedy: UCI-FRAM Group has notified its purchasers to quarantine and return all inventory. Any switches already installed in vehicles will be replaced by GM dealers as part of NHTSA recall 14V-047, free of charge. UCI-Fram's purchasers should contact UCI-FRAM Group at 1-800-890-2075. GM vehicle owners requiring additional information on that recall campaign should contact GM at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac) or 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn).
2014-04-10
- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
- Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
- Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
- Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.

- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
- Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.

This car is fantastic and is sure to catch people's attention. It handles incredibly well, although it may not be as powerful as some sports car enthusiasts would like. However, the Redline version offers more horsepower and better fuel economy, making it a great choice. While there are some minor convenience issues to consider, such as the hard-to-read gauges and limited cargo space, I still highly recommend getting one. In fact, out of the several dozen Sky owners I know, not a single one regrets their purchase.

When I was looking for my first roadster, I considered several models. After careful consideration, I decided on the Saturn Sky. The power, performance suspension, and looks are what sealed the deal for me. This car is an absolute joy to drive, whether it's during the day or in the evening. The Sky hugs the road like velcro and the turbo kicks it to the next level. Although there are a few minor drawbacks, such as the window switches being a bit too far back on the doors and the seat lacking lumbar support, it's still a great car. With the top up, visibility is a bit restricted, but you don't buy this car to drive with the top up very often. The Sky Red Line boasts that it is quicker than the Boxster, and I have to say, I believe it. What a blast!

I ordered the Sky in Mar '05 and I got my car in July '06. People often wave at me and compliment me on my great car. It's definitely an attention grabber! I absolutely love driving it, especially because it really grabs the road. The only downside is that the trunk doesn't have enough storage space for my shopping and luggage. Nevertheless, the car is incredibly safe and beautiful. I can confidently say that I love my Sky!

This is my 5th Saturn. All of them have been sports coupes until now. I'm 6'3

This car is a fantastic performance vehicle. It handles amazingly well in the rain and has an impressive amount of pick up. It's definitely a car worth owning. It's clear that this small convertible is the future of the automotive industry.

Are you having problems with your 2007 Saturn Sky?
Terrell Simonis 2024-09-17
Although I was initially excited to receive my new Sky, my experience has been disappointing due to the poor quality and craftsmanship of the vehicle. Despite having visited the dealership 8 times already, I have encountered numerous issues such as a leaking roof, poor quality paint job, driveline noise, rear axle leakage, and malfunctioning AC compressor. These issues have arisen within just 4 months and 7000 miles of driving. While I still have affection for the car, it is disheartening to have encountered so many problems with a brand new vehicle.

Well, hello there! I must admit, I've done it again. After years of owning Toyotas, Hondas and Nissans, I thought I'd go back to my roots and buy another GM product. I used to only buy GM products for 20 years and now I remember why I stopped buying them. However, I must say that my 2007 still looks like a million bucks in the garage!
