Pontiac Solstice Air Bags Safety Report | Mar 14, 2014
Reported on Mar 14, 2014
| PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED, RESULT IS AIR BAG FOR PASSENGER IS DEACTIVATED. I HAVE SEARCHED VARIOUS PONTIAC SOLSTICE FORUMS AND USER GROUPS AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. GM DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM A CHRONIC, HOWEVER, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LISTED ON WEBSITES. THE REPAIR ESTIMATES ARE VERY HIGH TO REPLACE THE FAULTY SENSOR (ABOUT $750 FROM A GM DEALER). SINCE THIS IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT FOR SAFETY OF THE PASSENGER, IT SHOULD BE GIVEN SERIOUS CONSIDERATION FOR A RECALL. SINCE GM WILL NOT STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CHRONIC PROBLEM, I PETITION GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FOR RESOLUTION. A RECALL IS JUSTIFIED AND CRITICALLY NECESSARY FOR THIS AIR BAG FAILURE. | |
