Consumer Description

WAS INVOLVED IN A MVA AND DRIVER WAS TRAVELING 50-60MPH WHEN HER CAR HIT THE FRONT END DRIVER SIDE AND AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. SINCE THEN AIR BAG SENSOR TURNS ON AND OFF WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT . PASSENGER WEIGHING OVER 130 LBS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND IS SCARY TO THINK THAT THIS CAR HAS YET TO BE RECALLED!! WILL THE AIR BAG GO OFF NEXT TIME SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS AGAIN??!! GM IS WRONG FOR RECALLING EVERY OTHER VEHICLE BUT THIS ONE!! POWER LOCKS DO NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK EVER! I ALWAYS HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK EACH ONE. SAFETY ISSUE AGAIN! AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSING EVERYTHING IN THE CAR TO GO OUT EVERY MONTH OR TWO. RECALL THIS CAR BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS INJURED. *TR
