STARTED CAR (2009 PONTIAC G5) WITH 55,907 MILEAGE MORNING OF 02/15/2015 AND VEHICLE DISPLAYED "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND SHOWED RED AIRBAG DASH SYMBOL WHICH DID NOT TURN OFF INDICATING AIRBAGS WERE OFF AND WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. CAR ALSO DISPLAYS "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" EVEN IN THE INSTANCE THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERYDAY FOR THE LAST WEEK. I'VE NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE EVEN AFTER IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED WITH THE RECENT RECALL. I WAS NOT HAVING THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THAT SYSTEM WAS REPLACED SO I'M THINKING THERE IS A CONNECTION THAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE TO OCCUR. BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS WHERE THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AT ALL. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS IT HAS CAUSED MANY INJURIES AND DEATHS. *TR
