AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SUMMARY: GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN 2004-2012 MALIBU, 2004-2007 MALIBU MAXX, 2005-2010 PONTIAC G6, 2007-2010 SATURN AURA VEHICLES. ON THESE VEHICLES, OVER TIME AN INCREASED RESISTANCE CAN DEVELOP IN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) CONNECTION SYSTEM AND RESULT IN VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS OR INTERMITTENCY IN THE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR (BAS) CIRCUIT THAT CAN CAUSE SERVICE BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION. AS A RESULT, THE SERVICE BRAKE LAMPS MAY ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED, OR MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. ADDITIONALLY, CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE. IF CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED, ADDITIONAL SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL MAY BE REQUIRED TO DISENGAGE IT. SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION MAY NOT BE REQUIRED TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF PARK, OR ADDITIONAL SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL MAY BE REQUIRED TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF PARK. TRACTION CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND PANIC BRAKING ASSIST FEATURES, IF EQUIPPED, MAY BE DISABLED. SERVICE ESC AND/OR TRACTION CONTROL TELL-TALES MAY ILLUMINATE WITH THIS CONDITION. SAFETY RISK: THESE CONDITIONS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS ARE TO ATTACH THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE BCM WITH A SPACER, APPLY DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT TO BOTH THE BCM AND HARNESS CONNECTOR AND ON THE BAS AND HARNESS CONNECTOR, AND RELEARN THE BRAKE PEDAL HOME POSITION FREE OF CHARGE.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL: DURING WORK HOURS, WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OUT IN THE HOT GEORGIA SUMMER SUN ALL DAY I GET A SERVICE AIR BAG ALERT WHEN I START IT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PARK IT UNDER THE TREES WHEN POSSIBLE DURING THE HOTTEST DAYS AND THIS KEEPS THE ALERT FROM HAPPENING FOR THE MOST PART. SOMETIMES THOUGH, THIS SERVICE AIR BAG ALERT COMES ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR AWHILE AS WELL. HOWEVER, I AM NOT ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST. WHILE AT THE MECHANICS, THE ALERT WOULD NOT COME UP AND I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT DOES.
