All Air Bagsfrontalsensorcontrol Module Complaints
I WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS FRONT END COLLISION AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT WHY THIS HAPPENED AND I WAS TOLD THAT "AIR BAGS ONLY DEPLOY AT CERTAIN ANGLES." WELL, IF IT WAS A DIRECT FRONT END COLLISION THAT CAUSED $8,600 WORTH OF DAMAGE, DON'T YOU THINK THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF? I HAD TO REPLACE EVERYTHING BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE BUMPER, THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT I GOT THE RUN -AROUND ABOUT THE AIR BAG. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT AIR BAGS IN MANY VIBES ARE FAULTY AND THAT PONTIAC ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *NM
DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE 2005 PONTIAC VIBE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR AN INDICATOR LIGHT THAT INDICATES THAT THE AIR BAG IS INOPERATIVE. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT IF THIS LIGHT IS ON THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANYTIME. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, AND ADVISED THE CONSUMER TO BRING THE CAR TO DEALER AGAIN SINCE THE LIGHT IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NOW THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG IS NOT SHOWING IF THE AIR BAG IS ON OR OFF. WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEA THE LIGHT IS SHOWING OFF FOR THE AIR BAG WHEN THE LIGHT SHOULD SAY ON. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AT ALL.*AK
