TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING EXTREME DIFFICULTY WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SYSTEM SENSOR. HE HAS A HEALTH CONDITION THAT HAS AFFECTED HIS HEIGHT AND USES A SEAT CUSHION IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE CUSHION IS FINE BUT WHEN HE RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, HE IS UNABLE TO USE THE CUSHION BECAUSE IT SETS OFF THE SENSOR AND DEACTIVATES THE AIR BAG. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE HE IS UNABLE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF HIS VEHICLE WITH A WORKING AIR BAG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. AS OF MAY 16, 2008, THE SENSOR HAS NOT BEEN DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 200. UPDATED 06/16/08 *BF
