Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 32 of 32, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle comes equipped with side air bags which are located in the front seat backs. The padding wasn't properly designed when manufactured. As a result, seat cover material is ripping, which will eventually leave the box containing the side air bag exposed. Also, at 33,000 miles the head gasket developed a leak and destroyed the engine motor.
Passenger's side front seatbelt failed to lock when another vehicle plowed into consumer's vehicle front end. Neither of vehicle's frontal or rear airbags deployed. Ph...

Recall 02 v 027 000/air bag. A few days after the recall repairs were made, the air bag light illuminated, dealer harry robinson pontiac, forth smith, ar 501‑646‑8600, has inspected vehicle and determined that light illuminated because of a problem with the restraint belt retractor. *ak. Consumer stated the problem has since been resolved.
My car is 3 years old and the seatbelt pretension is causing the airbag light to come on, potentially can cause airbag to engage. Past 36,000 m not covered by warranty and gm will not repair for defect.
We would like to express our extreme dissatisfaction with this vehicle and with the manufacurer. We purchased this vehicle new 2.5 years ago and have had to return it to the dealership on 17 different occasions to have various problems fixed: transmission replaced with 16,000 miles, airbag problems, cd player problems, intake gasket leaking, tires wearing, numerous problems! We have contacted the manufacturer and was told the first time a year ago that nothing would be done and now all they will offer us is extended warranty! We can't afford to keep taking our vehicle to the dealer and just want out from under this burden, big mistake we made!
Air bag light on intermittently. Twice serviced in the past year. Problems still present. Concerned about safety.
The air bag light came on shortly after purchase while having other electrical system problems. It has been addressed more than 3 times by the dealer, whom I will no longer take my vehicle to for work. The air bag light is still malfunctioning, along with other electrical system failures presently occuring. The air bag light causes me great concern regarding possible unwarranted deployment leading to injury or accident.
