Service airbag light comes on at random. Even if a person is sitting in the passenger seat, the passenger seat airbag shows off. Took it to a dealer and they said that the passenger presence module needs replaced and would cost about $800.00 to repair it and that the passenger side airbag would not deploy if was involved in a crash.

Power steering randomly goes out and returns causing jerky lurching turns couple years now since reaching over 100k mileage, have 173k miles currently. Is now leaking fluid. Pcv valve replaced twice, not recalled but mechanics have said it's common for my vehicle, causes hesitation while idling like it's trying to stall out. Have had to put foot on brake and rev gas at stoplights. Airbag light has been on for years, passenger side doesn't detect. Although recall, dealership wants to charge diagnostic fees even when I had done for free at local parts store and gave them code, they say have to do their own. Passenger window does not roll down, but does roll up, with driver's side controls, does work with passenger side controls. Sometimes driver's side window sticks too either up/down have to bang on door for it to engage. Speakers haven't worked properly in years either.

Service air bag light is on

Filed Jul 12, 2017 · Airbags · FL

I purchased a 2008 saturn outlook new at miles. The passenger air bag sensor had difficulties right off the bat.something with where my kids were sitting in the seat (teens). The sensor would go on and off intermittently. After some time, the air bag warning light came on. I took it to the dealership again a few months ago and they said I needed to replace the entire sensor for about $1,200. I was unable to do that (also thinking that it would fail again). So, we are driving around with what appears is no passenger side airbag. There have been various service bulletins for the airbag issue and numerous online complaints. I think that this warrants a recall.

I have an airbag light going on my dashboard. I was told it was the (pps) passenger presence system module and would cost ~$1500 to replace. I have seen other people complain about this and why it isn't part of a recall. Can I get information if this will be subject of a recall? Thanks.

The passenger air bag indicator says "off" and / or an error "service airbag" comes on with a red symbol as well. The dealer indicates it is a defective passenger air bag seat sensor. The vehicle had a tsb for a air bag wiring harness in 2012 and this was done. I see many complaints and other recalls for gm on other vehicles for this issue. I was shocked that the standard warranty of 36,000 miles is all that is required for a critical safety system! Emission components have more stringent requirements by law..... This is very concerning, as it impacts passengers in my vehicle and is intermittent. It could cause the airbag not to deploy or to deploy with more force, killing a child in the seat.
