PASSENGER OCCUPANCY AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND DOES NOT READ IF ANYONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SHOWS THAT THERE IS NOT A PASSENGER, WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR PASSENGERS. THIS SENSER FAILED WHEN THE CAR WAS 5 YEARS OLD, WE HAD ONLY OWNED IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR, HAD BOUGHT THE CAR USED. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX $700 OR MORE FROM WHAT TH DEALER SAID. JUST STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY, SHOWING AN AIRBAG LIGHT AND THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAG IS SET TO OFF ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH/WITHOUT A PASSENGER IN THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STAYING ON AND MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STAYING OFF..EVEN WHEN I HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR..

I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH ABOUT 114000 MILES ON IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON BUT NO INDICATION AS TO WHY IT IS ON. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ACCORDING TO REPORTS. I HAD SERVICE COMPLETE THE 2 OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THE CAR. I ALSO REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES ONLY TO TAKE IT BACK A WEEK LATER AND REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE CALIPER ALSO. THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING HOME, I EXPERIENCED VIBRATING IN MY BRAKES WHEN BRAKING. AT THAT TIME NO ABS LIGHT CAME ON OR TC CONTROL LIGHTS, HOWEVER WHEN HUBBY WAS GETTING READY TO TEST DRIVE IT, THE ABS LIGHT AND BOTH TC LIGHTS CAME ON AND HAVE STAYED ON. BRAKES ARE WORKING FINE AT THE MOMENT, I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE CENTER AND CHECKED FOR ADDITIONAL RECALLS (BECAUSE I READ ABOUT ONE ON THIS ISSUE SOMEWHERE THE OTHER DAY WHEN SEARCHING) BUT THEY ASSURED ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR SUCH AN ISSUE WITH MY VIN. THE CAR CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT. MY NEXT STEP I GUESS IS TO TAKE IT TO ADVANCE AUTO FOR A SCAN AND SEE IF ANYTHING SHOWS UP :( I DO A LOT OF TRAVELLING SO I NEED A DEPENDABLE/RELIABLE/SAFE VEHICLE. I LOVE THE CAR BUT I DON'T LOVE ALL THE BRAKE ISSUES AND NOT KNOWING WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE PUT NEARLY $1000 INTO MY CAR IN JUST A MATTER OF MONTHS DUE TO BREAKS AND EXHAUST SYSTEM.

Mileage: 123,000

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT IS SHOWING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED AN AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS LIGHT TO COME ON. WE HAVE NEVER TURNED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO THE "OFF" POSITION EITHER. IT JUST CAME ON ONE DAY. THE DEALER SAID IT IS COMMON IN SOME GM VEHICLES. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO WITNESS A PASSENGER INJURY IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD MAKE A PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL A PRIORITY.

ON 05/11/16 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:49 PM, THIS 2008 PONTIAC G6, WHILE TRAVELING IN A FORWARD DIRECTION ON A PUBLIC ROAD AND IN DRY SURFACE CONDITIONS, MODERATE TEMPERATURES, WAS BROUGHT TO A RAPID STOP DUE TO CHANGING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE DRIVER WAS RESTRAINED VIA THE SEAT BELT. FOUR SECONDS LATER, THIS 2008 PONTIAC G6 WAS STRUCK IN THE REAR BY A 2005 PONTIAC VEHICLE TRAVELING AT MODERATE SPEED AND POSSIBLE DRIVER INATTENTION. SIGNIFICANT REAR, FRONTAL, UNDERSIDE AND SIDE AREAS OF BOTH VEHICLES WERE DAMAGED. BOTH VEHICLES WERE NOT DRIVABLE AND WERE TOWED FROM THE ACCIDENT SCENE TO A SECURE LOT. THE 2008 PONTIAC G6 AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE UPON IMPACT OR THEREAFTER. THE 2005 PONTIAC AIRBAGS(2) DID INFLATE AND ALSO SUFFERED A PASSENGER SIDE BROKEN FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE OCCUPANTS AND ONE CANINE IN ONE AND OR BOTH VEHICLES DID SUFFER UNKNOWN INJURIES. THE 2008 PONTIAC G6 HAD BEED SERVICED UP TO AND INCLUDING WITHIN ONE YEAR BY A GM DEALERSHIP FOR VARIOUS RECALLS AND OVER THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE.

FAULTY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR FOR NO REASON THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND AFTER ABOUT A WEEK IT NOW STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I READ ON LINE IN THE GM CAR FORUMS THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM. I NOTICED MOST 05-09 GM MODELS THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH THIS TYPE OF SENSOR. PEOPLE NOTED THE FIX IS $500 TO $1000 AND MUST BE DONE BY THE DEALER. I LIKE MANY OTHER GM OWNERS WOULD LIKE TO THINK A PROPERLY WORKING AIR BAG IS A SAFETY ISSUE. APPARENTLY THIS AIR BAG SENSOR IS A POOR DESIGN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! THANK YOU

I JUST GOT BACK FOR THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT IS THE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE WHICH IS THE PROBLEM. TO GET IT REPLACED IS OVER $800. THIS PART BEING DEFECTIVE SHUTS THE WHOLE AIRBAG SYSTEM OFF AND NOW IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THEY WILL NOT DEPLOY UNLESS THIS IS REPLACED.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY IN SEPTEMBER 2014. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT OPDS MODULE WAS FAULTY. HE SAID THE COST TO REPLACE THE SEAT BOTTOM WOULD BE AROUND $750 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS INTERNAL AND NOT A RESULT OF ANY DAMAGE THAT I OR A PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT COULD HAVE CAUSED. I WOULD HOPE TO SEE GM ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD THE SAME COMPLAINT FROM 2 OTHER GM VEHICLE OWNERS. I KNOW THAT SEEMS LIKE A VERY SMALL NUMBER, BUT I LIVE IN A TOWN THAT HAS A POPULATION OF 500 PEOPLE. I'M SURE THERE ARE MORE GM VEHICLE OWNERS IN THE U.S. EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. LIVES COULD BE LOST IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT GOING TO DEPLOY DURING A CRASH IF THE SENSOR INSIDE THE SEAT IS FAULTY. THE SEAT BOTTOM IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. I AM A VERY LOYAL GM OWNER. I OWN A 1997 GMC 3500 TRUCK, A 2001 CHEVY MONTE CARLO, A 2006 CHEVY HHR AS WELL AS THIS 2008 PONTIAC G6. LASTLY, EVEN MY RV IS A CHEV. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE TRADITION ALIVE AS A PROUD GM OWNER. PLEASE HELP TO START THE PROCESS OF GETTING THIS SAFETY ISSUE ADDRESSED. *TR

AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON SPORADICALLY AND THEN GO OFF. I ATTRIBUTED THIS TO DOING A SELF CHECK SINCE THE LIGHT ALWAYS HAS WENT OFF IN THE PAST. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON NOW CONSTANTLY AND IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FOR THE PASSENGER IS DISABLED AT ALL TIMES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG MODULE UNDER THE PASSENGERS SIDE SEAT HAS FAILED, AND REPLACEMENT WILL COST OVER $1000. THE VEHICLE IS BASICALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS MORE THAN LIKELY THE AIRBAGS WILL FAIL TO EMPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY EVENT. I'VE WENT TO OTHER WEB SITES TO REVIEW POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH GM AIRBAG SYSTEMS, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A START OF AN EPIDEMIC WITH THESE AIR BAG SYSTEMS NOT BEING REPORTED TO THE NHTSA - TO INCLUDE SOME DEATHS. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE RETURNING HOME FROM A FAMILY VACATION AND ONE-HOUR AND FORTY-FIVE MINUTES INTO OUR TWO-HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTE DRIVE THE AIR-BAG SERVICE ICON APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND CAR RADIO DISPLAY. CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIGNAL, MY WIFE OPEN THE CAR SERVICE MANUAL AND CONTINUED TO READ HOW DANGEROUSLY THIS SIGNAL CAN BE CONTINUOUSLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUAL STATED THE AIRBAG COULD NOT DEPLOY DURING A COLLISION OR COULD DEPLOY AT ANY POINT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT THE NEXT REST STOP (10 MINUTES AWAY) AND FOLLOWED THE QUICK GUIDELINES OF THE MANUAL. CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY, WE CALLED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND WERE INSTRUCTED TO MAKE A SAFE AS POSSIBLE DRIVE BACK HOME AND DO NOT FURTHER DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE ELSE. THE CAR IS PUTTING OUR LIVES IN JEOPARDY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE WHILE THE VEHICLE HAS THAT WARNING DISPLAYED. WE FOLLOWED OUR INSURANCES STRICT GUIDELINES AND MADE A FEARFUL FORTY-FIVE MINUTE DRIVE HOME IN THE CONDITION WITH MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I FURTHER INVESTIGATED AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHTS FOR A 2008 PONTIAC G6 AND I FOUND OUT THAT THE 2006 AND 2007 PONTIAC G6 MODELS HAD RECALLS BASED ON THE SAME INCIDENTS AND SPECIFICS THAT MY WIFE'S CAR CURRENTLY WAS AND IS IN. TO BE PUT IN THIS POSITION IS FEARFUL ENOUGH, BUT TO BE PUT IN THIS POSITION WITH YOUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR IS FRIGHTENING ESPECIALLY DRIVING IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN. THE 2008 PONTIAC G6 MODEL SHOULD BE PUT ON RECALL FOR ITS AIRBAG SYSTEM. WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE OUR AIRBAG NOT DEPLOY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT WITH THE AIRBAG SERVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE. SOME FAMILIES OR INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL MAKES OF VEHICLES HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR EVERYONE TO DRIVE IN AND NOT HAVE ANY FEAR OF THE VEHICLE HAVING SOME SORT OF MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT CAN PUT THEIR LIVES AT RISK. *TR

AS DRIVER APPROACHED A 2 LANE CONSTRUCTION ZONE, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT. DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO CONTAIN VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC LANE BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT RESPONSIVE. AT SOME POINT THE POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MODULE REACTIVATED BUT ONLY MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HIGHWAY RESULTING IN HEAVY FRONT-END PASSENGER SIDE DAMAGE AND CONTACT DAMAGE TO ALL CORNERS OF THE VEHICLE. DESPITE TRAVELING BOTH BACK AND FORTH ACROSS TWO LANES SEVERAL TIMES AND MAKING CONTACT WITH THE BARRIERS EACH TIME, NEITHER FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED. DRIVER'S HEAD CAME IN CONTACT WITH HIS SIDE WINDOW CAUSING TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. PASSENGER'S AIR BAG COVER WAS KNOCKED ASKEW BUT AS NOTED DID NOT ACTIVATE. EMT'S ADMINISTERED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AT THE SCENE, BUT DID NOT TRANSPORT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM SCENE AND SUBSEQUENTLY JUDGED "TOTALED".

THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" KEEPS COMING ON. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A PONTIAC REPRESENTATIVE THEY STATED IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE G6 MODELS. I THEN RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THE SAME THING, THE PROBLEM IS A BAD SENSOR AND COMPUTER. RESETTING THE AIRBAG SENSOR DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH IS 600.00 AND CHANGING OUT THE SENSOR IS 1200.00 AND THAT STILL DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND IT IS UNKNOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP IF THE AIRBAG ACTUALLY WORKS! *TR

UPON THE PURCHASE OF A BRAND NEW PONTIAC G6 IN 2008, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS FROM ABOUT THE 5000 MILE MARK. IT BEGAN WITH MY TAIL LIGHTS STAYING ON WHILE DRIVING, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THEY WOULD GO OFF AND COME ON WHILE DRIVING. A MONTH LATER STEERING COLUMN STARTED TO KNOCK WHEN MAKING TURNS, THE DEALERSHIP HAS REGREASED THE SHAFT AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS AND HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE THE NOISE. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL NOT HURT ANYTHING AND WILL NOT REGREASE IT. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR 4 CONSECUTIVE YEARS. I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL HEAD LAMPS, ONCE ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS AND WIRING HARNESS BECAUSE THEY MELT. THE POWER STEERING STARTED TO GO OUT IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 AND SEVERAL TIMES SINCE; IT LOCKS UP AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND IT JUST MAGICALLY FIXES ITSELF. I HAD TROUBLE PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK IN JANUARY 2013 AND MY KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I LEFT IT IN FOR A FEW DAYS AND IT CAME BACK OUT. YESTERDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2013 THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT HAS COME ON. WE HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NONE OUT. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT NOT EVEN A DENT ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER RECIEVED A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE EITHER. MAYBE THEY ARE JUST NOT GETTING TO ME? *TR

DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM A TRACTOR TRAILER IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT SEE HIS BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE RAIN AND REAR ENDED HIM. THE IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK HIS BUMPER BAR OFF (THE PART THAT HANGS DOWN FROM THE ACTUAL BED OF THE TRAILER TO PREVENT YOU FROM GOING BENEATH IT). THERE ARE CLEAR MARKS ON MY FRONT BUMPER WHERE HIS BUMPER HIT. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I ESTIMATE MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 40MPH ALTHOUGH I SKIDDED INTO HIM SO I WAS SLOWING. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT HE WAS STOPPED BUT WAS MOVING SLOWLY AS HE PULLED OVER. I DONT KNOW HOW OFTEN THIS OCCURS, ONCE WAS ENOUGH FOR ME.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR TURNS THE AIRBAG OFF WHEN PASSENGER SITS OFF CENTER. THE AIRBAG SENSOR WILL NOT RESET IF THE PASSENGER MOVES BACK TO CENTER OF SEAT.
