Pontiac Grand Prix Air Bags Safety Report | Apr 19, 1999
Reported on Apr 19, 1999
| PRIOR TO END OF WARRANTY, LIGHT CAME ON DASH, SHOWING AIR BAG. TWO DAYS LATER IT WENT OUT. I CHECKED WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP, (REEVES PONTIAC IN GREENWOOD INDIANA) THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE PONTIAC HAD A PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG LIGHTS AS A SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN PUBLISHED. THEY SAID THERE HAD NOT BEEN A RECALL. TWO MONTHS LATER AT 40000 MILES, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WOULD NOT GO OUT. THE COST TO FIX IT IS ABOUT $350.00. STILL NO RECALL FOR AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH THEY KNOW MAY BE DEFECTIVE, YET THEY PUBLISHED A BULLETIN AND SENT IT OUT TO ALL DEALERSHIPS AND DID NOT NOTIFY CAR OWNERS ABOUT POSSIBLE PROBLELM. *AK | |
