"air bag fault" message is displayed in the info center on the dash and air bag warning light is illuminated on my 2009 pontiac g8 gt. Codes u0170 and b0081 were read at dealership. Parts #92225595 (module) and #92220398 (sensor) are required at an installed cost of approximately $1100. Entire air bag system is disabled due to this malfunction. Research of the federal safety agency complaints indicates this is a very common malfunction on the pontiac g8 and there have been some accidents. I am extremely concerned about this warning message and the use of the car has been limited knowing that the airbag will not be deployed in an accident. I noticed that the part number has changed to a higher/different number than the original module part number. This indicates that not only does gm know which part to replace to solve the issue, but they created a new and updated module to solve the issue; which means that gm did acknowledge that the original module was a faulty part. Why wasn't a recall issued? Air bag not functioning as designed is a serious safety issue. I see one hundred and twenty-nine the federal safety agency complaints for the pontiac g8 air bag module, surely there are hundreds of complaints for other gm vehicles which use the same part and hundreds more cases that were never reported. Many of the pontiac g8 models have passed on to younger drivers now, maybe your son or daughter. These younger drivers may not have the resources ($1k) to fix the problem, there will be more accidents and people will die, how many does it take to get gm to issue a recall?

Passenger side airbag warning light on "airbag needs serviced" whether someone is in seat or not. I am curious if the pontiac g6 should be included with the last recall for airbags (17v601) or under the takata recall? Isn't on constantly. Pops on and off . Date happened has been various

The air bag light and the tire light both come on (not necessarily at the same time) for no apparent reason when car is started, the car is not moving at this time. There is also a "service air bag" and service tire monitor" warning on the radio display. This does not happen every time the car is started. Also, if the lights, etc. Do not come on when started, they do not come on while driving, only after turning off and restarting the car. This would appear to be a safety issue as I understand that when the "service air bag" and air bag light is on, the air bags and possibly the seat belts are disabled. I think this should be a safety recall.

Lights on the car starting coming on the air bag lights stay on now and will not go off .the heater in the seats also stopped working .and now when I turn the steering wheels there is a grinding sound .I thought it was the cv axles replaced ,and it did no good .it continues to make the grinding sounds when I turn ,and its hard to turn the steering wheel at times it locks up .the electric systems seems to act strange with lights blinking on the dash board sometimes .many times I have trouble starting the car and have had the starter checked out and they cannot find a problem ,when it does this all the lights start flashing .once I was driving in the mountains at a speed around 45 miles an hour and my car completely cut off on top of the mountains.
