What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac grand prix. The contact stated that while driving 80 MPH, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle. The contact's front passenger side door flew open and crashed against a curb. As a result, the contact's vehicle rolled over and crashed into a tree. The air bags failed to deploy and the front passenger was killed. The contact and a rear passenger sustained fractured ribs and bruising. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was filed of the incident.
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. If the passenger bounces around on the seat the light may go off and it may come on randomly for no apparent reason. The air bag light may indicates the air bag is off at any time it feels like it. There is no rhyme or reason for the light going off or on.
