2005 Pontiac G6 Air Bags & Restraints Problems

SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT on and car has not been in any major accidents requiring an airbag. Also, causes the car horn to not work. Dangerous because if I should happen to get in a major accident the airbag may not deploy, I can not warn cars about to back into me because the horn doesn't work.

CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING TO WORK.

I BOUGHT IT IN JANUARY AND ITS MAY , I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES ITS DON'T WANT TO CRANK! *TR

TAKATA RECALL - THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. IS A RECALL GOING TO BE DONE??

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY. GM DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR IT, BUT NO RECALL. ALSO STATED IF IT ISN'T FIXED THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE POPPED UP AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY ISSUES I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I'M EMBARRASSED TO SAY THAT MY DAD AND A COUPLE OF MY UNCLES HAD WORKED FOR THE GM PLANT IN LINDEN NJ. *TR

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT WHERE SHE REAR ENDED ANOTHER SMALL PICKUP TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN HER 2005 PONTIAC G-6. MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND THE LOCAL POLICE WERE SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE INITIAL INJURIES TO MY WIFE WERE SOME SORENESS TO HER SIDE AND BACK, AND A BRUISE ABOVE HER NOSE WHERE HER GLASSES HIT HER. LUCKILY HER INJURIES WERE NOT MORE SEVERE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT 10-15 MPH THE VEHICLE WAS HIT FROM BEHIND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS ENOUGH DAMAGE DONE TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE FAN BLADE AND RADIATOR REPLACED, HOWEVER THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT TAKEN AT THE SCENE AND INJURIES DID OCCUR. MOST OF THE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED.
