NHTSA Complaint #10806142 — 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE

THE PPS MODULE KEEPS BREAKING EVERY 1.5 YEARS. THIS IS THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT GIVES INDICATION TO THE VEHICLE AS TO WHETHER THERE IS A PASSENGER OVER 100 POUNDS, AND TELLS THE VEHICLE WHETHER TO DEPLOY AIRBAGS. SINCE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE, IT HAS BROKEN 3 MORE TIMES. IT WAS REPLACE TWICE UNDER WARRANTY, AND NOW IT HAS BROKEN AGAIN OUT OF WARRANTY AND RITCHEY CADILLAC TELLS ME THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. IT IS OVER $1000 TO FIX...EVERY YEAR AND HALF?? THE 'SERVICE AIR BAG' MESSAGE COMES ON, THE AIRBAG ICON COMES ON. IT BREAKS SO OFTEN THAT I DON'T TRUST IT AT ALL! CLEARLY THIS IS A PASSENGER SAFETY ISSUE, THAT IS NOT BEING PROPERLY ADDRESSED. THEY KEEP REPLACING THE ISSUE WITH A JUNK SOLUTION.
