2006 Buick Lacrosse passenger side airbag sensor not working. I purchased the vehicle used with 60,000 miles on it and was told at the time that the indicator light for the passenger side airbag was periodically displaying, but it was simply a problem with the indicator light. Now at 98,000 miles, I took the car in with a problem on the driver's side seat belt assembly. They pointed out to me that in addition to the seat belt retractor malfunctioning, the sensor for the passenger side airbag isn't working, which is what the light has been indicating all along. So when someone is in the seat, it doesn't relay that info to the airbag. So I've been driving over 30,000 miles with no working passenger side airbag. Fixing the problem will cost nearly $1000. Was there any recall relating to this problem with this vehicle, or were there enough similar complaints to initiate one?.

My airbag light would not go off after I started the car, it would go off then it would come on randomly while I was driving the car. I had it checked at a Buick dealer. I was told that the intermittent module inside the passenger seat was what came up on the computer. Then I noticed that the on/off control on the passenger side quit reading "on" when I had a passenger. I was told that as long as light on the instrument cluster is "off" all my airbags are working. Sounds like a safety issue to me. I was also told that if I did not fix it at a cost of $1300. 00 the airbags may deploy for no reason. I read the other complaints and have not had this issue due to any low cabin temperatures. It is August and 80 f. I was not using a/c when this first happened but it has occurred while the a/c was on as well. It happens at least twice during my commute to work (25 mins) and the same on my way home.

For years, going back to when it had a warranty and the dealership even worked on it for this problem and has had one or two calls in the years since for same problem, ses light comes on, it used to go off and on occassionally, but now has been on for a year or so constantly. It is for diagnostic code p2440 (secondary air injection valve stuck open). Dealership replaced valve and/or air pump years ago and said it would fix it, but it didn't. Within a few weeks, ses light came on again for same thing. I called them and they said I could bring it back, but it would be on my dime because they barely got it covered the first time under warranty. We put up with it for a bit, then I purchased a new valve and installed it myself, light did not go out and it still to this day says the valve (new one even) is stuck open. Problem is, when the ses light is on, the remote starter won't work, which is very upsetting for me and my wife. For years, just like the first problem listed, it was initially “fixed” while under warranty, which only worked for a short time. The passenger front seat air bag sensor has a mind of it's own! sometimes it registers a person, sometimes not. It doesn't even matter what time of year it is, or the temperature in the car. Sometimes it thinks that my wife (160 lbs) is a child and doesn't turn the air bag on and then if we hit a bump (sometimes works) then it might turn it on. It also has times that it also turns on the red air bag light on the dash while it says off for the passenger seat air bag. Years ago when we took it to the dealership for this problem, they said they “fixed it” initially, but it was just a short time later it did it again. When I called the dealership to let them know, they said just like the problem listed above, that it was out of warranty now and that I'd have to pay out of pocket, so I didn't take it in.

Traveling to florida I noticed the airbag light was off when the passenger was buckled up. This light would go on and off the whole trip to and from florida. When I got home I took the car in the Buick dealership to have checked. They ran a test on it and said they could not find a problem. The light continues going on and off when the passenger is buckled in. I looked on the internet and found that this was a recall on my 2006 Buick Lacrosse. I cannot believe the dealership would allow me to transport a passenger knowing that they recalled this car for the same issues I described above.
