Pontiac G8 Air Bags Frontal Safety Report | May 01, 2011
Reported on May 01, 2011
| SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN MY WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (WEIGHT 125LBS) THE AIRBAG DOES NOT TURN ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT WAS IN NORMAL TOLERANCES AND IT COULD BE THE WAY SHE IS POSITIONED IN THE SEAT. THE LOANER CAR I WAS DRIVING (2011 CADILLAC DTS) THE AIR BAG INDICATOR CAME ON AND STAYED ON THE ENTIRE TIME SHE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY LIABILITY. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PONTIAC G8 FORUM WEBSITE AND OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING. *TR | |
