What owners say
Car has never been in an accident, yet the car displays service airbag light. Gm should recall and fix this issue. I see alot of complaints about the airbag not deploying upon impact or accident, this scares me.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g5. While driving 35 MPH, the air bag indicator illuminated without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,141.
Service air bag light on dashboard was on and passenger airbag off light on ever since I owned the car. The car was bought used with 122k miles on it so I'm not sure when this issue first arrived on this make and model. I have done some research into the issue and it seems recalls are out for this issue on lots of 2007 pontiac g5s I also had experienced the key getting stuck in the ignition in november 2016
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g5. The contact stated that the key would remain stuck in the ignition switch and the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was pending repairs under the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 14v047000 (air bags, electrical system) and 14v171000 (electrical system). In addition, when refueling the vehicle, fuel leaked from the fuel tank. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was refueled at half a tank in order to prevent fuel leaking. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 12v459000 (fuel system, gasoline) and 09v419000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000. Update 01/15/16 ma updated 02/04/16.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g5. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
We own a 2007 pontiac g5 and about 4 months ago we started noticing the air bag light coming on, but then it would go back off on its own. It has exhibited this on and off pattern for 4 months now and there is no rhyme or reason for it. We have owned the car for approximately 4 years and have never had this air bag light problem before. The car has never been in any accidents. Today we had our pontiac g5 in to the dealership for a recall on the ignition switch, so we asked the dealership to take a look at the air bag light situation as well. We were told that there is a defect in the drivers front air bag and it will not deploy if the car is in an accident. They recommend replacing the air bag at our expense of $1063.37. In reviewing other complaints on this website is appears that several other people are having the same issue with their air bag light on the same make, model, and year of pontiac g5 and the chevy cobalt's. It seems to me that general motors should be considering this air bag light problem as a safety recall since the air bag will not deploy in the event of an accident. If it is a defect, shouldn't general motors be responsible to fix it?
I never had an accident with the car and the airbag light when on for no apparent reason. I called gm my reference # [xxx] they would not replace the airbag due to the warranty over 4,000 miles over. I finally got them to pay for 1/2 the airbag and it was very expensive, but they never said what was wrong I am finding out now that the recall may be part of the problem I had earlier. Is there anyway I can get back the money I spent on a new airbag that should not have had to have been replaced due to this recall with the ignition? I am worried now that because of the airbag problem I have greater potential of the iginition problem as well. Gm did not want to help me with this problem and after several days and persistance they finally went half on the cost with me, but I felt then that it was a safety issue and they really didn't care. I was in an accident last year and the safety air bag did not deploy.
Same issue as cadilac recall for passenger presence module defect..will not detect passenger presence in seat, passenger airbag light stays off...airbag will not deploy in an accident.

My service air bag light is on. Never hit nothing or anything. So some malfunction. All the wires underneath is together checked them. So not sure what it may be.

- What is wrong
- This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
- Risk
- If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1‑800‑222‑1020, Pontiac at 1‑800‑762‑2737 or Saturn at 1‑800‑553‑6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.
