2005 Pontiac G6 airbags problems

Filed Oct 28, 2024 · Airbags · GA

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.

The steering column is broken and when driving the vehicle it feels like the steering wheel is going to shake off. It is very hard to control the car while driving due to this. It makes a terrible rattling noise when driving, the higher the speed the louder the noise. I am terrified to drive my car but this is my only way to work and back. I have 2 small kids who ride in this daily. Called and checked on any recalls for this and was informed back in 2014 (previous owner) had it fixed for this issue. And now it's happening again. Plus the service air back soon light keeps coming on. Which if we were in an accident from the steering column being broke. The airbags won't deploy. This issue needs to be fixed by gm again.

Takata recall. Something happened to my steering. The warning light is on, it gets so tight you cannot steer it. It also says to service the airbag. I'm so scared to try to drive it. If you shut the car off and restart it the steering wheel feels loose again, but like you do not have complete control. Then it's tight all over again. This was driving down the highway.

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.

When we turn the ignition key the engine starts but the key remains in start and doesn't return to run.we get no gauges, no power windows,and obviously no air bags,and no radio. If we barely touch key the car shuts off. We were fortunate to be able to park and figure out that you had to physically and carefully turn the key to run. The car died 9 out of 10 times. We had just bought the car and the dealer had earlier shaved the cars key to solve the problem. The dealer then had the lock changed by a certified locksmith. We contacted gm to verify that the new ignition that the locksmith put in wasn't defective,(not that we question the locksmith)and was told the car wasn't on the recall. When we asked whether they could tell if the lock was ok,or if the problem was deeper in the ignition they said we would have to pay $110 just to find out,and if it was defective,$300 more. Now we've contacted gm and got a file number,and guess what? They're blowing us off. We never even knew about the problem until the recall news 2/14.the recall needs expanding. And we need to know if the locks a locksmith might buy to replace, is also bad. Gm refuses to give that info. And they say they haven't got the parts to repair their problem anyway. Can it be the ignition lock only or is it deeper?
