Reported on Sept 03, 2003
| AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1200. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW BY ME AND NOW HAS 84,000 MILES ON IT. THIS MODULE WAS ALREADY REPLACED UNDER WARRENTY AT 20,000 MILES IN JULY, 2001. DEALER INDICATES THAT AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT IT BEING REPLACED. PONTAIC CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CALLED AND THEY BASICALLY SAID WE ARE SORRY BUT YOU HAVE EXHAUSED THE WARRENTY PERIOD ON THIS ITEM. WHEN I ASKED IF I SHOULD EXPECT TO REPLACE THIS EVERY 2 YEARS, THEY SAID IT SHOULD NOT FAIL IN THE FUTURE BUT DID NOT OFFER TO REPLACE ITEM. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW, I AM CONCERNED AS TO THRE AIR BAG SYSTEM RELIABILITY. | |
