2008 PONT G6 SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARS IN DASH, AND DISPLAY ON RADIO PERIODICALLY. TYPICALLY RIGHT ON STARTUP. DOESN'T TURN OFF UNTIL KEY OFF, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG OR TYPE OF DRIVING. USUALLY (BUT NOT ALWAYS) RESETS WHEN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. DISCUSSION WITH DEALER AND ONLINE FORUMS ALL SAY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR IS BAD. CONCERNED IF DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER AIRBAGS WILL ACTUALLY DEPLOY IN EVENT OF EMERGENCY, WHETHER LIGHT IS ON OR NOT.

MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON / OFF FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS COME ON AND NOW WILL NOT GO OFF. I CALLED AND ASK GM SERVICE REPAIR, BUT THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES, KNOW THIS HAS TO DO WITH A PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. TO FIX IT IS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE, AND NOT CHEEP. IF THIS ISSUES SHUTS THE WHOLE AIR BAG SYSTEM DOWN, IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVING ON THE FWY AND SUDDENLY ALL OF MY HAZARD LIGHTS START TURNING ON AT ONCE. MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE, NOT EVEN MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS WOULD WORK. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE LAST WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. COULD IT BE THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN? I THINK NOT, I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY POWER WINDOWS. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT, I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING A SHORTAGE.

POWER TRAIN
A RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ON THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH I HAD REPLACED THROUGH RECALL ON 12/31/14 HOWEVER 1 YEAR AND 25 DAYS LATER THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY DID EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO FIX. I WENT TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND THE GEAR SHIFT SLID EASILY INTO PARK BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING, NOT RECOGNIZING THE GEAR WAS PLACED IN PARK. UPON SHUTTING OFF THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN AS IF IT WAS IN GEAR. THE SHIFT SLIDES EASILY FROM PARK ALL THE WAY DOWN, NOT RECOGNIZING THE GEARS. THE PROBLEM REMAINS THAT ONCE THE RECALL WAS FIXED AND A YEAR PAST THEN THE HONORING OF FIXING THE PROBLEM IS NOT DONE.
