Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WAS IN TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE ON 8/7/14. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS INOPERATIVE, APPARENTLY DUE TO A FAILED PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WAS APPROXIMATELY $1,000. THE CAR HAD FEWER THAN 13,000 MILES OF USE OVER SIX YEARS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE TO FAIL. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS COMPONENT HAS BEEN RECALLED BY GM ON OTHER VEHICLES. WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE?
