2008 Pontiac Torrent airbags complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 46 of 46, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I noticed every time someone would sit in the passenger seat the airbag service bag message would appear the off button would not switch to on. I checked to see if a recall was issued and noticed the 2007 pontiac torrent had a recall for the same issue I am having with my 2008. I tried reaching out to gm which I know will turn out as a fail. I have seen other complaints from other people online on their 2008 gm vehicles with the same issue and the 2007 was recalled. I was quoted around $900 to fix from the dealer after I was advised by a representative of gm to get it tested by the dealership so they could further assist me if possible.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 pontiac torrent. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.
The service passenger air bag light came on and off, when a passenger is in the seat, some time it work and other time it does not. When I took it to the dealer they found no codes of this in the computer which I can provide proof of this with service records. I think there are many car out there with the same issue.
The passenger seat air bag sensor is faulty. It will not stay active when there is a person seating in the passenger seat. Everytime I turn on the car the check air bag light turns on. This is a common problem with these vehicles.
