The passenger air bag indicator light indicates passenger air bag is OFF even when an adult is sitting in the seat. Therefore. I am afraid that if the vehicle were in an accident where airbags would deploy, the front right passenger airbag would not inflate. There is a recall on the sensors for the front right passenger airbag for my vehicle make model and year but according to my VIN my vehicle is not part of that recall. I suspect it should be.

I am the original owner and it has 160k now !
"takata recall" we just got this car it just started leaking around the fuel tank. My husband believes the problem is with the fuel pump. The fuel gage has not worked since before we got the car. It came from windowrock, arizona, was sold to a dealership in farmington, nm. Then it was sold to another dealership in kirtland, nm. We have it now and have had it almost a month. The airbag warning lights and the check engine lights are on. The check engine light error is something to do with the catalytic converter. I was looking for information about the fuel pump location and how to change it out. I saw something about the fuel pump leaks and airbag problems being a recall issue with this year, make and model out of arizona. We don't know if there have been previous issues with this problem on this vehicle. We want to be sure that our car is not going to catch fire due to this fuel pump leak, especially if it is a vehicle that should have been recalled and no one heeded that recall or they were not aware of the recall. We want to be and stay safe, and to have a safe vehicle. The leak was noticed when the 2007 pontiac torrent was parked. It leaks more and quite a lot of gas while it is parked or not moving such as at traffic lights, while waiting for the light to change. It may be leaking while it is traveling down the street, highway etc. We don't know for sure. While parked at the grocery store for about 15 to 20 minutes it leaked a puddle of gas about the size of a basketball around onto the parking lot where we were just parked in a space. This seems like a dangerous or potentially dangerous situation. Should this have been one of the vehicles recalled? We really need this unsafe situation corrected so that it doesn't catch fire and one of us or someone else be seriously injured or die in a car fire from this problem.
I have a sensor failure with my passenger seat SRS system and do not understand why a recall was issued(the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v344000) which did not include my vehicle. The recall issued only affected 437 units. The sensor indicates that no one is sitting in the passenger seat whenever the passenger moves around. The passenger weighs in excess of 120 lbs and never loses contact with the seat. This car only has 54000 miles on it. The sensor should not fail.
There is an air bag warning light that comes on when I turn on the car. A gm dealer looked at the codes and it happens to concern the passenger presence module as has been recalled, just not for my vehicle (recall #07v344000). When a passenger is in the seat, the presence module does not work and the airbag does not turn to on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac torrent. While driving at approximately 35 MPH, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously.

The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac torrent. The contact stated that the air bag warning lamp and service stability traction control warning lamp flashed and remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop and the technician reset the codes, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who test drove the vehicle, but the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v344000 (air bags), but was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 12v459000 (fuel system, gasoline). The contact was unable to determine if the dealer completed the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
My wife and I were driving to tinker air force base when the service air bag light came on. We completed our grocery shopping and left to make the 30 plus mile trip home. The light continued to be on and I went to the dealer ship and they told me that there were no recalls for my VIN number. I even contacted pontiac and they too said my vehicle was not on the recall list and that they could not help me. So I still do not have a solution to this known problem that pontiac refuses to service.

Recall number 07V520000 · Recall details
Air bags: frontal: sensor/control module-inactive
- What is wrong
- Certain sport utility vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." in these vehicles, the right front passenger seat is built with a passenger sensing system. When tested with a representative unrestrained small adult, the system is required to turn the right front passenger's frontal airbag on. An error in the seat sensor calibration can cause it to fail this test. In addition, this condition can prevent the airbag from turning off when the seat is occupied by a small child.
- Risk
- Whenever the front passenger seat is occupied, the driver should always check the airbag indicator to see if the airbag is on or off. If it is not correct for the situation, the passenger should be moved to a different seat. This can increase the risk of injury to a seat occupant during certain crash conditions.
- Remedy
- Dealers will reprogram the seat's electronic control unit. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1‑800‑630‑2438 or pontiac at 1‑800‑620‑7668.
