| 2009 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | I HAVE A 2009 PONTIAC TORRENT AWD. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT AIR BAG 98% OF THE TIME WONT TURN ON FOR MY WIFE. SHE WEIGHS 124 PDS AND THAT SHOULD BE MORE THEN ENOUGH TO SET IT TO AN "ON" POSITION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR HER. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY RESET THE SYSTEM BUT I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER TRIED TO GET GM TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS UP AS TO SETTINGS AND SUCH BUT THEY COULDN'T GET ANYWHERE WITH THEM. I CONTACTED GM AND COMPLAINED AND SOME PERSON FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY WHO YOU COULD JUST UNDERSTAND SAID THE SAME OLD THING ABOUT THE CAR. I KNOW THAT EARLIER PONTIAC TORRENTS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND A RECALL WAS DONE. I THINK GM STILL HAS A PROBLEM. THANKS *TR |
