Bij vele GM modellen auto is een terugroep actie gedaan, maar niet bij de Kappas (Pontias Solstice, Saturn Sky, Opel GT, Deawoo G2X) Er is nu een petitie aangemeld bij de Amerikaanse authoriteiten om dit zaakje goed te onderzoeken en officiel opheldering te vragen bij GM.

NHTSA INVESTIGATION Subject : Passenger Sensing System Sensor Mat
Date Investigation Opened: MAY 16, 2016
Date Investigation Closed: Open
NHTSA Action Number: DP16001
Component(s): AIR BAGS
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received a petition from requesting a defect investigation into an alleged defect of the air bag system on 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. The petition letter is attached for review.
The petitioner alleges that the Passenger Sensing System (PSS) sensor mat over time will kink, fold and eventually break. The petitioner further alleges that the break in the mat will cause a failure in the circuitry of the sensor mat that may lead to the passenger air bag system being inoperative (suppressed) when the seat is occupied by a passenger that would otherwise require air bag protection.
In Attachment B, the petitioner identified 933 complaints received by NHTSA alleging air bag system issues. The identified complaints encompass several General Motors vehicle models in addition to the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky. ODI will evaluate these complaints further to determine if the complaints pertain to the issue cited in the petition.
This defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.
