Pontiac Solstice Air Bags Safety Report | Feb 18, 2012
Reported on Feb 18, 2012
| THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN MY VEHICLE TRIGGERED A MALFUNCTION LIGHT WITHOUT ANY PROVOCATION. THE STOCK PART RESPONSIBLE AND ITS IDENTICAL GM REPLACEMENT PART IS KNOWN TO HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE. A PONTIAC SERVICE STATION QUOTED THE REPAIR AT A PROHIBITIVE $800 AND REQUIRES GM SERVICE DEVICE TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH AND READ THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE RATHER THAN PROVIDING ANY SPECIFIC INFORMATION TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. DOCUMENTATION ON THIS PART STATES THAT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY DUE TO RISK OF ARBITRARY INFLATION OR INJURY TO PASSENGERS. *TR | |
