“My passenger seatbelt warning light stays on when I have a passenger in the front. The ignition switch clicks constantly. The key keeps getting stuck in the ignition switch. The car engine skips whenever I slow down or accelerate. All of this happens whenever I'm driving highway or in town except for when I'm parked and the keys gets stuck in the ignition switch. Please help!!”
NHTSA complaint #11350048, filed 2020-08, 90,895 miles“There is an air bag warning light that comes on when I turn on the car. A GM dealer looked at the codes and it happens to concern the passenger presence module as has been recalled, just not for my vehicle (recall #07v344000). When a passenger is in the seat, the presence module does not work and the airbag does not turn to on.”
NHTSA complaint #10954204, filed 2017-02, 100,000 miles“Dash indicator for passenger seat airbag, which I believe affects all airbags in this vehicle, 2007 Pontiac Torrent, turns on when vehicle is started. I called local dealer and was told the repair was done shortly after it was issued. Regardless of that fact the sensor has failed again and is a serious safety issue. The manufacturer of this sensor ultimately should be responsible for repair or replacement, the selling dealer should assume that responsibility.please advise of my rights in this matter.”
NHTSA complaint #11385583, filed 2020-12, 106,476 miles“I have a sensor failure with my passenger seat srs system and do not understand why a recall was issued(NHTSA campaign number: 07v344000) which did not include my vehicle. The recall issued only affected 437 units. The sensor indicates that no one is sitting in the passenger seat whenever the passenger moves around. The passenger weighs in excess of 120 lbs and never loses contact with the seat. This car only has 54000 miles on it. The sensor should not fail.”
NHTSA complaint #10956720, filed 2017-02, 54,000 miles“The passenger air bag sensor is not working properly. When I start the car, it says to service my airbag. If someone is sitting in the passenger seat, the signal that the air bag is active sometimes turns on, and sometimes doesn't.”
