Consumer Description

THE OCCUPANT MODULE SENSOR (GM PART #19124219) LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILED AFTER ONLY 52,000 MILES. THIS MODULE, WHEN FAULTY, CUTS OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IN THE LIFETIME OF OWNERSHIP I ONLY HAD A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT APPROX 20% OF THE TIME SO WEAR IS NOT THE ISSUE.ON FURTHER CHECKING OF THE 40+ SOLSTICE OWNERS I KNOW, MOST HAVE THE PROBLEM.THE REPLACEMENT COST FOR PARTS LABOR AND RECALIBRATION IS BETWEEN $500 TO $800. MOST OWNERS IGNORE IT AND THE FACT THAT HALF THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF COST. GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM PART BUT APPARENTLY DOES NOT SEE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. A ONE TIME REPROGRAMMING TO A "ALWAYS ON" STATE WOULD BE A CHEAP ACCEPTABLE FIX. *TR
