The PPS system is a failed design and breaks continuously. Look at all the complaints you have received. This is extremely dangerous and GM should not be allowed to dismiss. Will it take deaths or lawsuits for GM to respond? This is the reason the NHTSA exists. GM needs to be directed to fix with a permanent solution when it involves the failure https://plaincars.com/make/pontiac-solstice https://plaincars.com/make/pontiac-solstice#complaint-2033195 Thu, 17 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT The contact owns a 2006 Pontiac Solstice.

I saw online that there was an airbag recall. I called my local Chevy dealer and they ordered the recall kit. I brought the car in and they did the fix.

Had the PPM replaced and still does not work. Dealer said I need to replace the Front Impact Sensor. Is this covered on a recall?

I got it "fixed" at that time but soon after getting it done, the "check airbags" light came back on.

Why is the air bag replaced only one time when this is an ongoing problem. My air bag system needs replaced for the second time but it is not covered.
