2007 Pontiac Grand Prix Air bags Problems

“The ignition switch failed on 12/24/2015 while I was driving on the east bound I-80 in california. I was not able to use the brakes or steering and rear ended the truck in front of me at about 40 miles per hour. The air bags did not deploy and I was bale to start the car and drive off the highway. Surprisingly I had the ignition switch recall for my keys mailed to me in august of 2015 and had the cadillac dealer in reno nv modify my key and key ring on 10/31/2015. …”

“While driving straight down the highway at highway speed the air bag light on the dash board indicates the passenger air bag is off when there is an adult passenger present in the passenger seat.

There is no rhyme or reason for the light going off or on. If the air bag is an important safety feature then this type of a problem should be fixed asap. Thank you”
