2009 PONTIAC G6 Air Bags Problems

The contact owned a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at 30-35 mph, the contact was in the right turn lane when making a turn a vehicle in front of them was making a left turn but did not see the contact which caused the contact to crash into the front passenger side of the vehicle. The contact did not have time to stop. The contact was concerned that no air bags deployed. There was no medical treatment at the scene. No one was injured. A police report was filed. There was damage on the contact front bumper and grill and pushed metal into the radiator. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer where the contact insurance inspected the vehicle and deemed the vehicle a total loss. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 120,000.

I WAS PARKED IN A MOSTLY VACANT PARKING LOT ABOUT 8PM. I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AFTER COMING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE. I PUT KEY INTO IGNITION BUT DID NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK OR MOVE THE CAR. I TURNED ON THE DOME LIGHT TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. AS I WAS LEANING TOWARD PASSENGER DOOR, THE HEAD CURTAIN AND SEAT SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED LITERALLY IN MY FACE. ONLY THE AIR BAGS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT WAS VERY LOUD AND SOME POWDERY TYPE SUBSTANCE HAD BEEN DISPENSED INTO THE AIR. IT MADE INTERIOR SURFACES FEEL A BIT SLIPPERY , HAD A STRONG ODOR AND MADE MY EYES BURN. HAVING NEVER EXPERIENCED AIR BAGS DEPLOYING ,IT SEEMED LIKE MY CAR HAD JUST EXPLODED.FOR A MOMENT I COULD NOT SEE OR HEAR. I THEN REMOVED THE KEY AND OPENED DRIVERS DOOR. I SAW SOMETHING DUSTY FLOAT OUT ON THE AIR. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED. AT THAT POINT I LOOKED OVER THE CAR ,SAW THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED.THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ANYWHERE NEAR ME NOR WAS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT ANYTHING HAD HIT THE CAR. IT WAS QUITE A SHOCK TO HAVE THIS RANDOMLY HAPPEN. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT . AFTER STARTING THE CAR TO SEE HOW IT RAN ,I DROVE IT HOME. I REPORTED IT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY.AFTER MANY QUESTIONS AND SEVERAL DAYS OF REVIEW I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO IMPACT AND AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYING WOULD BE CONSIDERED A MECHANICAL FAILURE.

PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING COMES ON.. HAD IT REPALCE NOW IT HAS TO GO TO A GM DEALER THE HAVE CLEARED... VERY EXPENSIVE.. I THOUGH AIRBAG ISSUES WERE WARRANTIED FOR LIFE OF CAR... G8 HAS 99K ON IT... GM SHOULD HELP PART # 92231137

"AIR BAG FAULT" MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED IN THE INFO CENTER ON THE DASH AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON MY 2009 PONTIAC G8 GT. CODES U0170 AND B0081 WERE READ AT DEALERSHIP. PARTS #92225595 (MODULE) AND #92220398 (SENSOR) ARE REQUIRED AT AN INSTALLED COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1100. ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. RESEARCH OF NHTSA COMPLAINTS INDICATES THIS IS A VERY COMMON MALFUNCTION ON THE PONTIAC G8 AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME ACCIDENTS. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS WARNING MESSAGE AND THE USE OF THE CAR HAS BEEN LIMITED KNOWING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT BE DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT. I NOTICED THAT THE PART NUMBER HAS CHANGED TO A HIGHER/DIFFERENT NUMBER THAN THE ORIGINAL MODULE PART NUMBER. THIS INDICATES THAT NOT ONLY DOES GM KNOW WHICH PART TO REPLACE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT THEY CREATED A NEW AND UPDATED MODULE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE; WHICH MEANS THAT GM DID ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ORIGINAL MODULE WAS A FAULTY PART. WHY WASN'T A RECALL ISSUED? AIR BAG NOT FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I SEE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE NHTSA COMPLAINTS FOR THE PONTIAC G8 AIR BAG MODULE, SURELY THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR OTHER GM VEHICLES WHICH USE THE SAME PART AND HUNDREDS MORE CASES THAT WERE NEVER REPORTED. MANY OF THE PONTIAC G8 MODELS HAVE PASSED ON TO YOUNGER DRIVERS NOW, MAYBE YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER. THESE YOUNGER DRIVERS MAY NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES ($1K) TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THERE WILL BE MORE ACCIDENTS AND PEOPLE WILL DIE, HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE TO GET GM TO ISSUE A RECALL?

MY VEHICLES AIR BAGS CODE SHOWING ON DISPLAY. IT STAYS ON WHETHER CAR IS PARKED AND RUNNING OR WHILE DRIVING. I'M AFRAID I'LL HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS WON'T WORK. I QUESTION WHETHER THEY EVER WORKED. I HAD A DOG RUN OUT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND COULDN'T STOP IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING DOG. DAMAGED FRONT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOW I'M DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS, MAJOR METRO STREETS, AND I'M CONCERNED FOR SAFETY. I'VE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING AND MAJOR HARM TO DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC. REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED OVER A LONG RANGE OF YEARS AND I FEEL THERE'S ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE THE CALL FOR GM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND EITHER REPLACE THE PROBLEM PART(S) OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLES. THERE ARE MULTIPLY PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR THAT I'VE HAD TO HAVE REPAIRS MADE TO MAKE THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONAL. AS AN OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, I'M ASKING FOR HELP.

" TAKATA RECAL " IT WAS LAST WEEK WHEN I STARTED SEEN THE SIGN OF THE AIR BAG IN THE SCREEN OF MY CAR AND AFTER LIKE TWO DAYS THE SAME WEEK, I RECEIVED THE LETTER THAT TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TO GO TO THE LOCAL RETAILER THAT THEY CAN FIX IT.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON "AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICED" WHETHER SOMEONE IS IN SEAT OR NOT. I AM CURIOUS IF THE PONTIAC G6 SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE LAST RECALL FOR AIRBAGS (17V601) OR UNDER THE TAKATA RECALL? ISN'T ON CONSTANTLY. POPS ON AND OFF . DATE HAPPENED HAS BEEN VARIOUS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO AVOID AN OBJECT IN THE ROAD. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE INTO A DITCH AND ROLLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND THE TIRE LIGHT BOTH COME ON (NOT NECESSARILY AT THE SAME TIME) FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN CAR IS STARTED, THE CAR IS NOT MOVING AT THIS TIME. THERE IS ALSO A "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND SERVICE TIRE MONITOR" WARNING ON THE RADIO DISPLAY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. ALSO, IF THE LIGHTS, ETC. DO NOT COME ON WHEN STARTED, THEY DO NOT COME ON WHILE DRIVING, ONLY AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, THE AIR BAGS AND POSSIBLY THE SEAT BELTS ARE DISABLED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

I PURCHASED CAR NEW IN 2009 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM STARTING WITH EXHAUST SYSTEM JUST WEEKS AFTER I GOT IT. IT HAS HAD 3 RECALLS BUT I MORE ARE DUE. THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING ONE AFTER ANOTHER AND AT ONE TIME ALL FRONT LIGHTS WERE OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I HAD THEM REPAIRED WITH NEW CONNECTOR. CURRENTLY, THE LEFT HEADLIGHT IS OUT AGAIN AND A NEW HEADLAMP AND ANOTHER CONNECTOR WAS INSTALLED AND STILL WILL NOT STAY ON. OTHER OWNERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING. BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING POWER STEERING GOING OUT OCCASIONALLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHAT SO EVER. THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ALTHOUGH THERE WERE 2009 MODELS THAT WERE. I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE AIR BAG ALERT STAYS ON. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELT ALERT AND BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SEAT BELT SENSOR MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY REAR DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK AND THAT'S ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I FEEL THE CAR MANUFACTURER KNEW THESE PROBLEMS EXISTED AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING THESE DEATH TRAPS. WITH ALL THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS, I CAN'T GRASP WHY GM DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THIS AND GET THEM OFF THE RODE. I AND OTHER MOTORISTS ARE NOT SAFE WHILE I'M STILL DRIVING THIS CAR. DO THE RIGHT THING GM AND RECALL ALL 2009 PONTIAC G6 AND MAKE THEM SAFE.

MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 HAD APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT FIRST CAME ON. IN THE BEGINNING, THE LIGHT APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AND SEEMED TO BE LINKED TO A SENSOR MALFUNCTION IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. CERTAIN SEAT POSITIONS AND PASSENGERS (WEIGHT?) COULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR THE DURATION OF THE RIDE. OVER A PERIOD OF MANY MONTHS TO A YEAR, THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY CLICK ON. EVENTUALLY, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS NOW ON EVERY TIME I DRIVE. THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I WAS TOLD THE COST WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 400$, WITHOUT REPLACING THE ACTUAL AIR BAG IF NECESSARY. ON ANOTHER VISIT AT GM FOR A RECALL, I WAS TOLD THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR THESE AIR BAGS MAY HAVE SOLD FAULTY EQUIPMENT TO MORE THAN JUST GM. I WAS TOLD TO REPORT THIS SO THAT THE GOVERNMENT AND GM WOULD KNOW. I AM HOPING THAT UPON YOUR INVESTIGATION, GM WILL COMMIT TO A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, AIR BAGS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A POWER TRAIN OR EXTENDED WARRANTY (LIKE HOW RUST IS COVERED) AS THEY ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF PASSENGER SAFETY. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, FLOODED, SET ON FIRE, STOLEN, OR HAD ANY WORK ON INTERIOR SEATING OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I NEVER SPILLED ANYTHING IN THE INTERIOR OR HAD ANYTHING IN THE CAR THAT COULD "PULL WIRES" OR CAUSE ANY FORESEEABLE DAMAGE. *TR
