The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac Solstice. The contact stated the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V061000 (Air Bags).

This is a known failure and a previous recall. The PPS system is a failed design and breaks continuously. Look at all the complaints you have received.

GM needs to be directed to fix with a permanent solution when it involves the failure of airbags to deploy.
