| I purchased a 2006 pontiac grand prix, i have been reading the complaints on this site about airbags not deploying in severe accidents. i have also noticed that there was a recall on the 2006 buick lacrosse which is mechanically identical to the grand prix. in theory because the two cars are basically the same but have different names and different sheet metal it is quite likely that they suffer form the same problem. however, the grand prix has not been recalled. *tr | |||

| My sister was driving my car which is a 2006 pontiac grand prix. she was traveling south bound on a highway, when a jeep cherokee pulled out in front of her. my sister was going about 55 to 60 mph, when the accident occurred. the airbag on the driver side steering wheel did not deploy. however, my sister was not injured too bad from the accident. i called the pontiac manufacturer, and they said that because she was not seriously injured that they were not too concerned about it. however if she was seriously injured then they were going to be concerned and look into it. i would think that a vehicle collision at about 60 mph the air bag would deploy. *tr | |||
