I have 61954 miles on my 2007 pontiac g6 march 30 2007 brand new. There was a recall #06143 the air bag service system /fmvss 208.my VIN # was not notified. The summary of this recall is identical as to what is now happening car. If I have a passenger in my front side seat when they get out of the car. I get an alarm. I do not normally have a passenger and drive back and forth to work 4 miles 4 days a week. I feel this should be recalled since 359 complaints were submitted in back in 2007 and recalled, I never received a notification about it. Please extend this recall. I very seldom have a passenger in the front right seat. Recently when someone gets out get of the car I am now getting an alarm. If play with the seat belt it stops. This is a real safety hazard. I always service my car when it needs it. I took it to lannan chevelot woburn ma 01890 this week. They diagnosed and found passenger presence module has a intermittent internal failure. This is the same problem as recall # 06143. Please review my claim, and contact me if you have any questions.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator constantly remained illuminated. The contact was concerned that the air bag might not deploy in the event of a crash. The vehicle was taken to classic southeast texas (3855 eastex fwy, beaumont, tx 77706, (409) 892-5050) where it was determined that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
Miles 99,543 when I came back out the store I turn my car on to experience my steering wheel was harder to turn then usual. I turn my car off and on and the problem was still there. I went to advance auto to get a bottle of fluid and find out my steering wheel is electric and the recall that was on it expired a few years ago ! My concern is what if I spend my money to get it fix and the problem occur again. Anothee issue is that my service air bag pops up across the radio sometimes
Air bag on panel stays lit all the time, when starting up the engine. Passenger side for about one second comes on then go off. Still lit on panel. It has happened before but mechanic said the airbag light on panel should go off it did for awhile, now it's back on again.
The last year my passenger airbag light and seatbelt like goes on and off when no one is sitting in that seat. My power steering light is going off now and power steering has gone out multiple times. At high speeds I feel loss of steering control and wobbly. At stand still and stop signs my steering wheel shakes. I do not feel safe at all driving due to a feeling of no control of the car.
Airbag is not on will not turn on. The electronic motor like all the other recalls gm should be taking care of is going out and locking up steering. I would advise anyone to get an attorney and file against gm for not taking care of a dangerous problem
The airbag sensor on the passenger side doesn't work it comes on when we are sitting in the seat with the seatbelt fasten we have taken the car to the chevrolet dealer and they said that we would have to fix it ourselves we don't have the money to do this. If we are in an accident and the air bag doesn't deploy then someone is going to get hurt bad and then there is going to be a lawsuit I hope that you can get a recall on this so I can get it fixed
Transmission , when shifting into park it will sometimes not go into park and the car will roll backwards or clanking noise happens. Also when u take the car out of park it will not go into reverse!! Steering, when making turns there something going on it wants to drift and makes a noise! Airbag sensor comes on and goes off by itself even with a passenger in the seat says airbag system not working these are all recalls but says my VIN# isnt part of the recall! But vehicle doing everything thats it says in the recall
Power steering issues and it states it on my radio screen the moment I put it in reverse. Also my check engine light keeps coming on, while on I have issues rolling up/down my power windows.
Driver's side airbag dash light came on. With the message. Service airbag.
Airbag service message &. Dash light comes on. Often. , when I put my fog lights on. It turns the headlights off. It was in motion &. Parked
My power steering shows on the dashboard and it is so tuff to turn either way can you replace it please
Whith entine running: at approximately 50,000 miles the service air bag light in the radio screen illuminated intermitently. It continued to do so for some time. At about 60,000 miles, it illuminates almost all the time. Noticed that on some hot days over 105 degrees, the light goes off. Currently, on constantly. Phoned dealers and estimates exceed $800 without inspection. Outrageous. Vehicle in excellent condition.
February 2017 I was driving and my steering wheel locked up on me. I turned the ignition off & then turned the car back on & it never happened again until 11/13/17. I was driving & my steering wheel locked up. I almost caused an accident. I called greenwood chevrolet hubbard to inquire about any recalls & I was told there were no recalls at this time & the recalls that were issued I was serviced for. 11/13/17 was not the first time that I called to inquire about recalls for my car. I call often when I see other gm cars have recalls. I called gm to inquire about a recall & I was given the same information that greenwood gave. I took my car to firestone complete auto care on 11/15/17 & they made me aware of recall # 15356. They found the recall information when they ran the diagnostic test. They suggested that I take my car to the dealership & let the recall fix the issue. When I call the dealership and gm I was told that the recall expired on march 12, 2017. I never received and type of correspondence about the recall. What if I get in a car accident and harm someone else or myself. I feel that gm should have to pay to fix a faulty part that they installed into their product. I also keep getting a check air bag signal on my car every so often. I'm almost scared to drive my car. I also called the dealership that I purchased the car from and they stated that I would've had to call if I was having the problem then they would've honored the recall. I asked the dealership how can I call about a problem if it's not happening at the present time and why wasn't I notified about the recall. The dealership is diane sauer chevrolet phone: [xxx]. I don't know if my air bag is takata; however, something is wrong for the signal to keep flashing that it needs to be checked. My phone number is [xxx] and my name is [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Airbag light comes on all of the time after starting there is an odd whistle type noise that we cannot figure out. It occurs when accelerating.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to bennett buick gmc (located at 651 s ohio st, salina, ks 67401 (785) 823-6372) where it was diagnosed that the air bag was faulty and would not deploy in a crash. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. No further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 136,967.
Ater I start my vechicle and fasten my seat belt. Th the airbag notice comes on even if I am the only passenger. I also a kind of stiffness in the steering wheel. The power steering fluid is fine.
1) power steering unit seems to be going in out while driving. After it acts up there is a lot of plat in the steering until the car is shut off. There has been a recall on same year model of g6's for same issue. Started last summer then stopped over the winter, then started again this spring. 2) passenger airbag sensor doesn't work all of the time, or will shut off while someone is sitting in the seat. Know recall on other models of same year like above. Has done this since we bought it from the dealer. They told us it would cost us $$$$ to fix it.
Takata recall airbag light came on for no reason and won't go off. Information center says check airbag .tell me what to do
Passenger air bag sensing system. Air bag module needs to be replaced. This is a recall for certain 2007 pontiac g6 vins but mine is not covered. Should the recall cover more vins if I'm having the same issue as other same year model g6's?
"takata recall" I have contacted you on several occasions regarding this matter. The air bags and brakes (front/rear) are not working properly. The ab light continuously blanking the words "needs to be serviced" and I've had the brakes repaired and still hear a noise upon impact.
Passenger side air bag seat sensor failure. Common problem, thousands of complaints reported online. This is a serious issue that gm refuses to fix. This should be a recall, lives are at risk because of this equipment failure. "service airbag" displays on radio and dash lights after passenger exits vehicle and some times while vehicle is in motion.
The "service airbag" warning light came on yesterday for no apparent reason. There have been no liquid spills on either driver or passenger seats, ever. "deep dive" researching this topic online suggests gm did a failure analysis and knows the mysterious warning light problem and it's root cause. Gm recalled just 359 individual cars of my type and vintage. Ironically, the same recall covers many other gm vehicle types of multiple year models. There are apparently as many complaints from owners outside those otherwise approved for recall repair. Gm appears to be following the fiat/chrysler playbook related to the jeep zj fuel tank recall in the later case. Reading the accident events reported and injury related to what appears to be unwarranted and/or illegitimate g6 airbag service airbag / non-deployment events, it sound like there may be more than 359 each 2007 pontiac g6's with similar bad air bag sensors that gm should otherwise want to and unilaterally with "arms wide open" invite customers to have them make the safety repair under the same recall, or just as a customer "good will" gesture. Others who have contacted gm claim the customer no service feedback attained is regret that there is nothing gm customer care can do, since their vins are outside the "359". Repair estimates I've read about are upwards of $850 - $900. Meanwhile, there are websites that will take and reset the airbag sensing module for $45. Customers apparently found the $45 reset fixes the issue satisfactorily. Wishing gm would get bigger pants on and look beyond the little number and instead think instead about the potential "big number", as fiat/chrysler learned about in thier 1986 - 1988 grand cherokee zj case... One grand cherokee fuel tank location safety event alone.. South georgia boy burned alive in his carseat ~ $50 million dollar settlement. Smart chrysler, smart gm.
"service air bag" comes across the dic indicating it needs service done to it. Turn vehicle off and back on and the light goes away. If the car is turned on (tried many times) and someone is sitting in the passenger seat, the service message comes on after a few tries. All connectors have been checked and liquids have not been spilled on the seats.
"service air bag" lights up on the dash. It codes as a b0081 symptom 71 passenger air bag
Takata recall the air bags for both the driver and passenger take 3 to 4 miles of driving before they come on. The light says they are off.
At random times (every time the vehicle is operated), the passenger side airbag alert light illuminates (accompanied by a 3-tone alert) and a dash message saying "service air bag." the dealer diagnosed this as a faulty passenger-side airbag sensor. There is been a previous recall for these sensors (gm recall no. 06143; the federal safety agency campaign #07v146000), but it was limited to 359 vehicles. My vehicle's VIN number was not included in that recall, so the dealer refused to replace the sensor free of charge, quoting $900 for repair/replacement. A search on website shows 81 other complaints about 2007 pontiac g6 airbags as of 9-27-2016, many with similar symptoms to my vehicle, so there are obviously problems with pontiac's airbag sensors systems that extend beyond the initial recall. Since this is a serious safety issue, it is imperative that pontiac extend the recall to include the additional vehicles affected. A conversation with pontiac yielded a typical response: "your vehicle is not included in the initial recall, so there's nothing we can do."
While driving or stationary as I turn the wheel either way I here a clacking noise. I thought it was my c.v. Axles but my joints are still sealed. So I began to think it was my steering column because after a certain amount of turning it for really really hard to turn then a load clack then it would pass the stress point turn easier but still make the clacking noise when turning it back. That would happen in both directions.
Strong gas odor from car while car in running and after car is stopped. Check engine light codep0446 emission system vent solenoid replacement via auto zone code system reader. Gas found sitting on top of gas tank.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the vehicle emitted a fuel odor inside and around the vehicle. In addition, the air bag light remained illuminated and a beeping noise was present. The vehicle was taken to a certified independent mechanic where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 122,910.
