2006 Pontiac G6 Air Bags & Restraints Problems

my son was driving the car and had a friend with him. they were involved in an accident which he tboned anoehr car. the driver air bad deployed but that was the only one. no other bad deployed and caused injury to windshield of passenger and caused injury to my son from drivers door.

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that the passenger’s side air bag service required message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 180,000.

After I got my car serviced for a recall on my transmission cables my dash started flashing passenger air bag and now my cars airbags do not work

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN RANDOMLY COMING ON FOR ONE TING OR ANOTHER. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT. AT ONE POINT, THE GAS GAUGE INDICATES THAT THE TANK IN ABOUT EMPTY WHEN WE HAVE JUST FILLED THE TANK HALF OF THE WAY. BEING SENIOR CITIZENS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET A DIAGNOSIS ON THE CAR WITHOUT PAYING BEYOND YOUR BUDGET, OR GETTING THE REPAIRS DONE. ALSO THE POWER STEERING FREEZES UP WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES.

I NOTICED AFTER I GOT THE CAR THAT THE GAS WAS GOING AWFUL FAST, SO I DECIDED TO LOOK INTO AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A GAS LEAK AND IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN I TURN ON CAR A RED SYMBOL OF AIR BAG COMES ON DASH BOARD AND A LOAD TICKING SOUND THAT CAN BE HEARD INSIDE AS WELL AS OUTSIDE OF CAR. DOES NOT GO OFF TICKS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION.

TAKATA RECALL - MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IS STAYING LIT WITH A MESSAGE ALSO DISPLAYING ON MY RADIO "SERVICE AIRBAG". THIS MALFUNCTION WARNS ME AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR ON, WHILE DRIVING, AND REMAINS IN EFFECT. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD!

TAKATA INFLATORS. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE COMES ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED. STAYS ON. ALSO THE RADIO DISPLAY HAS SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE ON IT ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING. THE MECHANIC STATES IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

FIRST THERE IS A MESSAGE THAT POPS UP ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING ABOUT MY AIRBAG WARNING. IT POPS UP THROUGHTOUT MY DRIVE. ITS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2008. BUT I MEVER GOT A RECALL PAPER IN THE MAIL AND WHEN I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN, IT HAS NO RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAG. ITS ALARMING AND SCARY HEARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. SECONDLY I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM GMC OR SOMETHING ABOUT A RECALL ON MY CAR. IT HAD TO DO WITH MY BREAK LIGHTS COMING ON AUTOMATICALLY WHILE I HAD MY CAR IN THE PARK POSITION. I WAS EXCITED TO FINALLY GET IT FIXED BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE GMC MECHANICS IN ALBANY OREGON THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. HOWEVER TILL THIS DAY I CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON AND STAY ON WHILE IM DRIVING. IVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WERE DRIVING BEHIND ME TELL ME THE SAME THING. I JUST GOT BACK FROM VACATION AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR A LONG TIME, I STOPPED AT THE REST AREA AND AN OLDER GENTLEMAN CAME UP TO ME AND TOLD ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON THE WHOLE TIME FOR THE LAST 30 MILES HE WAS BEHIND ME. IF I GOT A LETTER CONCERNING MY BRAKES THEN WHY ARENT THEY WILLING TO FIX MY PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP WHO SAYS THAT IT IS A SENSOR. I REPLACED THE SENSOR AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STILL WILL NOT GO OFF. THE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST.

WHEN MY SEATBELT IS PLUGGED IN WHETHER I'M IN DRIVE OR I'M IN PARK THE LIGHT COMES ON AND KEEPS BEEPING IF I RATTLE THE BUCKLE INSIDE THE SEAT BELT HOUSING AROUND THE LIGHT GOES OFF AT 15 SECONDS MOMENTARILY AND THEN COMES BACK ON IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT I'M SCARED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON IN THE DASH CONSTANTLY AND KEEPS BEEPING EVERY 45 MINUTES DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING ON

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT BUT BEFORE IT CAME ON I SMELLED SOMETHING FUNNY AND THEN THE AIRBAG ICON CAME ON THE DASHBOARD I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAYS THAT THE AIR BAG IS SUPPOSED TO BE RECALLED BUT ON MY CAR IT IS NOT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE PLEASE A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG FOR MY CAR SO I CAN GET IT FIXED.P.ST. IT WON'T LET ME PUT THE MILEAGE DOWN I WAS GOING IT WAS 45 MILES PER HOUR IN MY MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE IS AROUND A HUNDRED AND THREE THOUSAND. *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARS INTERMITTENTLY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2 WEEKS AGO. IT ONLY HAS 46,000 MILES AND ALL WAS WELL FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THE DRIVER SIDE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I STOPPED AT THE OFF RAMP AND PROCEEDED DOWN A 30 MPH STREET. STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURNED OFF. ABOUT 4 DAYS LATER WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THEN TURNED OFF. THIS TIME I WAS NOT STOPPING BUT CONTINUOUSLY DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH. MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE THAT LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL AND WHILE LOOKING ONLINE, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE. I'VE BEEN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS AT FAULT. I CHECKED TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE HAD ANY OPEN RECALLS AND THERE WERE NONE.

THE WIRING FOR THE SENSORS WAS NEVER PROPERLY DONE. THERE WAS NO SPACE TO PUT CERTAIN WIRES AND THEY WERE NEVER CONNECTED. THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS NEVER PROPERLY CONNECTED!
