Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g5. While driving approximately 30 MPH, another vehicle failed to stop and crashed head on into the contact's vehicle. The frontal air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained severe whiplash and bruises to the chest and arm areas that required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage and VIN were not available.
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.

Air bags did not deploy on a pontiac g5 2007 2d. My 20 yr old college student son was driving on the 101 fwy, where the car to his left switched lane to come in front of my son's car, other driver had a sudden brake. My son collided into the car in front of him at speed of 40-50mph but air bags didn't deploy. He was wearing the seat belt, however, he is now being treated for neck and back injury, can't drive to school and the aaa insurance company declared the car as total loss due to major frontal damage.
My daughter was involved in a car crash were someone made a left turn in front of her. Her new pontiac g5 hit the other car head on about 25-30 miles an hour. The airbag never deployed which allowed her head to hit the steering wheel. She had to be taken to the hospital were several test were taken. She is luck that she has only minor neck problems. The car had over $4500 in damage and needs new frame rails.

- 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.
