WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON, IT SAYS, "STABILITRAK OFF" , "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" , "SERVICE AIR BAG" , "SERVICE STABILITRAK".
DASH INDICATOR FOR PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG, WHICH I BELIEVE AFFECTS ALL AIRBAGS IN THIS VEHICLE, 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT, TURNS ON WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED. I CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WAS DONE SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS ISSUED. REGARDLESS OF THAT FACT THE SENSOR HAS FAILED AGAIN AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS SENSOR ULTIMATELY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, THE SELLING DEALER SHOULD ASSUME THAT RESPONSIBILITY.PLEASE ADVISE OF MY RIGHTS IN THIS MATTER.
Passenger side air bag light is staying off even when an adult is seated there.
TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO DIAGNOSE WHY MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY, I WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE IS FAILING. AFTER A SHORT SEARCH IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL. ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. SINCE PRESENCE MODULES ARE INTEGRAL TO OCCUPANT SAFETY THEY SHOULD BE GOOD FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS SAME ISSUE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL PARTS WERE FAULTY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REAR ENDED IN OCTOBER OF 2019, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD GLAZES AS SHE WAS UNABLE TO SEE CLEARLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HALEY BUICK GMC MIDLOTHIAN (9831 MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE, RICHMOND, VA 23235) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000
ABS, STABILITRACK SERVICE/OFF, SERVICE ENGIN LIGHTS, NO WAY TO FIX!
"TAKATA RECALL" WE JUST GOT THIS CAR IT JUST STARTED LEAKING AROUND THE FUEL TANK. MY HUSBAND BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL GAGE HAS NOT WORKED SINCE BEFORE WE GOT THE CAR. IT CAME FROM WINDOWROCK, ARIZONA, WAS SOLD TO A DEALERSHIP IN FARMINGTON, NM. THEN IT WAS SOLD TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN KIRTLAND, NM. WE HAVE IT NOW AND HAVE HAD IT ALMOST A MONTH. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ERROR IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I WAS LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP LOCATION AND HOW TO CHANGE IT OUT. I SAW SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP LEAKS AND AIRBAG PROBLEMS BEING A RECALL ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OUT OF ARIZONA. WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT OUR CAR IS NOT GOING TO CATCH FIRE DUE TO THIS FUEL PUMP LEAK, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND NO ONE HEEDED THAT RECALL OR THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL. WE WANT TO BE AND STAY SAFE, AND TO HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE. THE LEAK WAS NOTICED WHEN THE 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT WAS PARKED. IT LEAKS MORE AND QUITE A LOT OF GAS WHILE IT IS PARKED OR NOT MOVING SUCH AS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. IT MAY BE LEAKING WHILE IT IS TRAVELING DOWN THE STREET, HIGHWAY ETC. WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. WHILE PARKED AT THE GROCERY STORE FOR ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES IT LEAKED A PUDDLE OF GAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BASKETBALL AROUND ONTO THE PARKING LOT WHERE WE WERE JUST PARKED IN A SPACE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DANGEROUS OR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SHOULD THIS HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE VEHICLES RECALLED? WE REALLY NEED THIS UNSAFE SITUATION CORRECTED SO THAT IT DOESN'T CATCH FIRE AND ONE OF US OR SOMEONE ELSE BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE IN A CAR FIRE FROM THIS PROBLEM.
PASSENGER AIR BAG STAYS OFF WHEN PERSON SITS IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.
SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW ! SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE ; IT DOESNT SENSE ANYONE SITTING THERE AND ALWAYS SHOW AIRBAG OFF AND DASH SAYS SERVICE AIR BAG !!! I DONT WANT TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT WHICH IS AROUND $1,000 ; WHAT'S THE DIY SOLUTON HERE I AM NOT SAFE IN THIS CAR WITH SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ON 100% OF TIME. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT HAS 160K NOW !
THE LAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A DECREASE IN POWER WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR SHAKES DUE TO THE LOSS IN POWER. I NOTICED THERE WAS A PAST RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP ISSUES.
I HAVE A SENSOR FAILURE WITH MY PASSENGER SEAT SRS SYSTEM AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL WAS ISSUED(NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000) WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL ISSUED ONLY AFFECTED 437 UNITS. THE SENSOR INDICATES THAT NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHENEVER THE PASSENGER MOVES AROUND. THE PASSENGER WEIGHS IN EXCESS OF 120 LBS AND NEVER LOSES CONTACT WITH THE SEAT. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 54000 MILES ON IT. THE SENSOR SHOULD NOT FAIL.
FOR ONE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR HAS BEEN WORKING ON AND OFF FOR LAST COUPLE YEARS AND NOW HASN'T BEEN WORKING FOR LAST MONTH! THEY KEEP TELLING ME MY VIN IS NOT IN RECALL? NOW BOTH AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING? 2 THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CAUSE MY WIFE TO ALMOST GET KILLED WHEN IT FAILED AND SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED BEING DISPLAYED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE TRYING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION! WE REPLACED THAT OURSELVES. BUT WE'VE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES NOT BEING COVERED!
THERE IS AN AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT THAT COMES ON WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR. A GM DEALER LOOKED AT THE CODES AND IT HAPPENS TO CONCERN THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE AS HAS BEEN RECALLED, JUST NOT FOR MY VEHICLE (RECALL #07V344000). WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT, THE PRESENCE MODULE DOES NOT WORK AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT TURN TO ON.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SEAT BELT WARNING SYSTEM CHIMED WHETHER THE SEAT BELTS WERE BEING USED OR NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,607.
PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR IS FAULTY. IGNITION SWITCH IS LOSE. GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING TRACTION CONTROL STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ARE ALL ON. LOSES POWER AND DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE SOMETIMES.
CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH IS ON
THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I START THE CAR, IT SAYS TO SERVICE MY AIRBAG. IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE SIGNAL THAT THE AIR BAG IS ACTIVE SOMETIMES TURNS ON, AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T.
AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MANY MONTHS. IT IS COST PROHIBITIVE TO HAVE SERVICED SINCE THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL COST ABOUT $1000 TO RUN IT DOWN BUT THAT IT IS PROBABLY A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. STABILITRAK SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT THE DRIVING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS APPEARED AT THE SAME TIME AS STABILITRAK LIGHT STARTED APPEARING. CHECK ENGINE CODE IS EGR VALUE NEEDS REPLACED. MY TORRENT HAS 144,000 MILES. FOR MANY MONTHS THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN ALL THE WAY OFF MOST OF THE TIME. SOMETIMES IT TURNS OFF FINE AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SERIES OF CLICKS BEFORE IT WILL TURN OFF ALL THE WAY. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A COMPUTER ISSUE OR AN IGNITION ISSUE.
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A MONTH AGO AND IT WAS WORKING FINE. MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT RANDOM AND MY AIRBAG DOESN'T WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RANDOMLY. IT GOES ON AND OFF AND SAYS SERVICE AIRBAG, BUT OF COURSE WHEN I GET IT TO A MECHANIC, IT IS NOT HAPPENING AT THAT TIME SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY IN MY CAR. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I AM EXPERIENCING WITH THE AIRBAG, BUT IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN, APPARENTLY. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN THESE LIGHTS COME ON AND WHEN THINGS WORK AND WHEN THEY DON'T, IT IS COMPLETELY AT RANDOM.
