Pontiac Solstice Air Bags Safety Report | Apr 01, 2013
Reported on Apr 01, 2013
| SERVICE AIRBAG IS INDICATED ON DASH; PASSENGER AIRBAG 'OFF ' (EVEN WHEN SEAT IS OCCUPIED)--OUR DEALERSHIP FOUND: PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE FAILED -- ESTIMATE TO REPAIR, $768. 71. WAS TOLD PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. TRIED TO CHECK ON RECALLS; FOUND MANUFACTURER HAS RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER MODELS (BUT NOT ON SOLSTICE OR SATURN SKY)----THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. ALSO TRIED CONTACTING THE PONTIAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER (TO NO AVAIL); AFTER PLAYING PHONE TAG FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITH THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE; WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HELP US. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH OUR LOCAL DEALER; THEY ARE A GOOD FACILITY AND ARE APPARENTLY JUST FOLLOWING THEIR PROTOCOLS. I DO CONSIDER THIS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND WISH TO DOCUMENT THIS SITUATION--------- *TR | |
