The passenger seat air bag sensor failed and to repair the problem the entire seat cushion and electronic module has to be replaced. This is an over $800 repair and my daughter cant afford to have it fixed. According to the dealer tech this is a common problem on several thousand equinox, torrent and saturn ion vehicles. Imho this is a safety defect and should be repaired at no charge.
