NHTSA Complaint #11092089 — 2009 PONTIAC G6

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT SENSE AN OCCUPANT AND DOES NOT DEACTIVATE IF THE SENSOR IS MADE. THE CAR LEAKS WATER DURING RAIN STORMS PROFUSELY FROM DRAIN LINES CONNECTED TO THE BODY WORK UNDER THE HEADLINER. THE LINES BECOME DISCONNECTED AT THE JOINTS DUE TO POOR DESIGN. WATER LEAKS ONTO THE SEATBELTS AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THE FLOOR BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT BECOMES WET AS WELL. IN THE PAST THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AFTERMARKET SEAT UPGRADES IN THIS CAR THAT WERE AUTHORIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT CAUSE THIS FAULT IN THE AIRBAG SENSOR. THE WATER LEAKING CAUSES ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS IN THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE HEADLINER AS WELL AS IT CAUSES MOLD TO GROW IN THE CARPET DUE TO THE WATER BECOMING STAGNANT. THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS MANY DOCUMENTED DESIGN FAULTS THAT WOULD CAUSE WATER INTRUSION SUCH AS POOR AIR CONDITIONING DRAINAGE CAUSES WATER TO BACK UP INSIDE THE CAR. AS WELL AS LEAKING FROM POOR SUNROOF SEALING. THE VEHICLE LEAKS PRIMARILY WHEN STATIONARY. THE AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS WHILE THE CAR IN MOVING AND WHEN PARK IS ENGAGED.
