Component | AIR BAGS |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Massive air bag failure, notice that all air bags are not functioning. Two friends that have same vehicle have same failure. Told that passenger weight sensor or wiring failure will cause massive failure of air bags. This seams to be a safety problem and needs to be addressed., 2 out of 3 having the same failure seems excessive and of national concern. Please address this and let me know i don't want my daughter driving without proper air bags, told cost may be in excess of $1100. 00 and the car has approximately 74,000 miles. 2nd item: rear electric hatch on closing has a loud clunk just before closing, last 2 inches like something is binding or about to break. This is a lower priority unless it is possible for the hatch to open going down the highway . The other acadia tested did not have the hard clunk [metal to metal sound] on closing, this has existed almost from her new purchase of the acadia, dealer told us nothing to be concerned about they had seen it before. Thank you for making it effective to make a safety report. |
