Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
I've noticed that my passenger air bag indicator light hasn't been turning off after someone has left the passenger seat. I usually have to pull over to the side of the road if I'm driving, shut the car off and start it again for the system to recognize that there isn't a passenger in the seat anymore. Otherwise it will continue to flash the passenger seat belt light and chime. Also, the driver side seat belt light will keep flashing and chiming even though I am wearing my seat belt. Started 2/20/18.
The air bags have never deployed and the air bag light stays on. The powersteering is electric and not pump assist and it keeps going out and now may have to replace entire sterring column. Have called gmc to complain and still mo recall has been made. Google my issue abd found that there are alot of people with my car that have the same problem. Feel helpless
I have not been able to use the cruise control on my 2008 pontiac g6 gt. I am having steering issues where my steering wheel clicks. Plus my air bag light is on all the time. I called customer service through pontiac they gave me a reference number.8-3680048435. I asked for the corporate office to speak to someone at gm about my car being missed on a recall and no corporate person was given.
Airbag light came on without incident and wont come off
My airbag light on my car its been on steady for the last 9 months or more. My steering wheel at certain times are hard to steer the car. It makes a popping noise while I turn the steering wheel.
Passenger occupancy air bag sensor failed and does not read if anyone is in the passenger seat and shows that there is not a passenger, which means the airbag will not deploy in an accident. This is very dangerous for passengers. This senser failed when the car was 5 years old, we had only owned it for about a year, had bought the car used. Very expensive to fix $700 or more from what th dealer said. Just stopped working one day, showing an airbag light and the fact that the airbag is set to off on the passenger seat with/without a passenger in the car.
I have a pontiac g6 2008 that only has 83,500 miles on it. The airbag light turned on about 2 months ago and has not turned off. About a month and a half ago the traction light turned on for about 2 days and than went off . The last thing that has happened is that 2 weeks ago the brake lights came on even when I am not pressing the brake and do not turn off unless I turn off the car. And I almost forgot I also had problems with the gas cap my engine light kept on turning on so I ordered another one directly from the dealer and I still have the problem. Its like never ending.

Service airbag light comes on! Why is that?! It comes in when I start ny car and it just comes on while I'm driving!
On a clear day, traveling on a local hwy, check airbag light came on, stayed on. I have been asking other owners if they have the same problem. I was told the airbag won't deploy if that light is on. That scares the hell out of me! Now the seat belt light is on because I moved the drivers seat forward. That is intermittent. Please, find the right person to declare this worthy of a recall. One person dying because of this is one person too many. Airbags and seat belts are our only safety in a car. If we don't have that, the cars should be taken out of service by the manufacturer, and the owner reimbursed.
