Problems with 2008 Buick Enclave AIR BAGS

The airbag keep going off and on service airbag and when i bring it to get it check they can't find anything wrong with it

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 buick enclave. while driving, the "service air bag" message appeared on the instrument panel. the contact called hutchinson buick gmc cadillac (3989 river pl dr, macon, ga 31210, (478) 757-2177) and was informed that the sensor or module in the seat may have caused the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact had a computer scan test by an independent mechanic, but the results were unknown. the contact also stated that the failure only occurred when the passenger seat was occupied. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the vin; therefore, the contact would have to pay for the repair. the approximate failure mileage was 149,000.

Service airbags just started illuminating today. from the research i have been seeing. it's because the wiring harness under passenger seat gets pinch. also the sun roof is leaking through the air bag area on the driver side to the left of the windshield while sitting inside the car....

Check air bag monitor keeps coming on

Went to get out of the vehicle from driver side and the door wouldnt open. you can pull the door handle back but door will not open. door will open from the outside. also, the passenger side air bag notification comes on for a while but then will go off periodically. when you start the vehicle it will say "service air bag" (picture attached).

2008 buick enclave (recall# 14030)-failure of the passenger side impact air bags intermittently not working. researched and discovered that general motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 buick enclave. the air bag indicator remains illuminated intermittently off and on while driving with a passenger in the drivers seat. the airbag sensor will not register any if the person in the passenger seat is not of a certain weight. this is really a dangerous situation given that my teenagers ride in the front passenger seat most times. please have someone contact me immediately to get this resolved. this recall is identical to my 2008 buick but yet not showing for my vin.

Passenger seat air bag sensor does not work if somebody under 175 lbs is sitting there

Had buick recall done in 2011. was not permanent. passenger sensor does not work and display reads 'off'. 'service airbag' stays on the dash display.

Passenger airbag sensor does not work property. thus, anyone sitting in the front passenger seat may not get an airbag at impact. there is no recall on this, however a lot of posts about it. i can say that the front seat has not been used that much in the car nor by a large individual. $1000+ to replace for a $4000 car is too much. this should be a recall before someone dies.

Sunroof water leak. when it rains water pours from all parts of the roof onto the interior of the car. from falling water to water running down through the walls of every part of the car. it has started to cause electrical problems with the vehicle and also i have found mold under the carpet where the water accumulates. it is usually 1 to 2 inches of water on the floor boards after raining. causing mold, rust and mildew. this happens whenever it rains, a little or alot. this may be causing unhealth iisues. it would be smart for buick to fix these issues now before medical bills are involved.

Had airbag recall done then light came back on

I own a 2008 buick enclave which was parked stationary in my driveway on march 24th 2016. as i exited my home and attempted to unlock my vehicle i was surprised by a cloud of smoke that was released by the front passenger airbag. it had deployed for no apparent reason. damaging the dash, radio, and destroying the windshield glass. i immediately contacted gm service department in which they sent out a tow truck to remove my vehicle from my premises and shipped it to a ed rinke chevrolet service department. their investigator claims that there was a previous crack in the windshield that caused the 12" of standing water damage on my floorboards and in the airbag sensor module. there was no crack... so after being inconvenienced for almost a month, gm claims that the windshield was an aftermarket product and that they've got no responsibility for the deployment or totaled vehicle damages. the truck was returned today apr. 19,2016 very inoperable!

Airbag light on passenger side indicates airbag will not deploy. vehicle has been brought in to several different dealerships to be evaluated, each claiming a different code has been activated, however no fix has been permanent. vehicle had previous recall (2011) on airbag sensor - fix was not permanent. most recent time, dealership claims a sensor in the seat is bad and will require $1200 fix due to its location in the seat??? codes b0074 & b0081 (internal fault in passenger presence module) there is not a time that the airbag engages - still or moving. this has been an issue while was still in warranty and beyond warranty - gm refuses to work with me.

Indicator light shows passenger airbag needs to be replaced. dealer said it may not deploy in event of impact. car has not been in accident and airbag has not been deployed previously.

While driving i noticed the passenger airbag light would come on and off. now it stays on all the time. i took it in and found out that the passenger presence module needs to be replace at a cost to me of $900.00. i see that this is an ongoing problem many people have with this car. how is this not a recall?

I have a 2008 buick enclave and the air bag light came on. i took it to a mechanic to check it out but he said its a recall so i took it to buick dealer to get it fixed. first of all they weren't very welcoming but long story short they said that its not a recall i have to purchase the entire module which will cost $1500 to get it fixed. i am very confused. they said the recall is for passenger side pressure sensor and they are having me replace the entire passenger side airbag module.

My car was stationary sitting in my driveway and on sept. 1, 2015 i notice the front passenger side windshield was shattered, upon further investigation the airbag passenger side and alone both sides of the car had deplored.

Airbag service light came on....now when a passenger sits in the seat the light says off. so that now the passenger will not have the airbag infliat if there is a accident...not good. this should be a recall.

Passenger air comes on and goes off while driving down the road. *tr

The passenger airbag light always says off and the service air bag notice is always on. we took the car in to a dealer several years ago and were told it is not covered under the airbag recall. this is hard to believe; the vehicle has never been in an accident. gm should not risk an important safety issue defect to go ignored.

The pps module keeps breaking every 1.5 years. this is the passenger presence module in the passenger seat that gives indication to the vehicle as to whether there is a passenger over 100 pounds, and tells the vehicle whether to deploy airbags. since the original purchase, it has broken 3 more times. it was replace twice under warranty, and now it has broken again out of warranty and ritchey cadillac tells me that i have to pay for it. it is over $1000 to fix...every year and half?? the 'service air bag' message comes on, the airbag icon comes on. it breaks so often that i don't trust it at all! clearly this is a passenger safety issue, that is not being properly addressed. they keep replacing the issue with a junk solution.

In 2012, my 2008 buick enclave was recalled due to a malfunction of the airbag. the recall number was #10085. the vehicle was repaired by coleman buick in lawrenceville, nj in 2012 and the cost of the repairs was covered under the recall. on feb 10, 2015, i took the vehicle to coleman buick because the passenger side airbag was not performing properly again. the dealer indicated the "passenger presence module" was not functioning correctly and that it would need to be replaced at the cost of over $875. i do not feel this is fair or proper since the vehicle has previously been recalled for air bag issues and because gm is currently recalling thousands of vehicles for known airbag defects. *tr

The 2008 buick enclave have a module air bag sensor in the passenger seat that when a passenger sets in the seat the air bag intercator light in center consul lights up letting you know that the air bag is on and working. my air bag module sensor needs replacing. i was told from dealership that the seat would have to be taken out to replace this part which will cost 850.00. people just don't have this kind of money. the buick enclaves especially the 2008 model have had numerous recalls.i feel this is a safety issue and buick should address this issue to insure our safety. if not, there will be those on the road driving without the proper safety they need. i believe this is a part that was cheap made and buick knows it and they should take responsibility to ensure the customers safety. will you please review this case. i am one that is driving around with this issue. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 buick enclave. the contact stated that for months the rear liftgate randomly fell down without warning. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v415000 (structure:body) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. vin tool confirms parts not available. the vehicle was also included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v118000 (air bags) and the dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. parts distribution disconnect. the manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the contact's vehicle would receive the recall repairs. the contact continued to experience the rear liftgate failure. the failure mileage was not available.

Air bag service light came on and was taken to dealer for service as i already had a letter stating this could happen and if so take it to dealer for repair. after being check out by dealer i was told they could find the problem however my battery check out bad and that could be the problem, so i paid them to replace battery. after battery was replaced the service light went out, until 1/13/15 while driving vehicle home after having it serviced by dealer the air bags service light reappeared and when i took it back to the dealer i was told they would be happy to check it out at my cost which i said not knowing what the cost could add up to i would just continue to drive with the service light on. it is now 5/21/15 and it continues brightly burn.
