FIRST EVENT LOW TIRE WARNING TOOK TO DEALER, DEALER STATED IT WAS A VALVE STEM FAILURE. DEALER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SECOND EVENT LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING CAME ON, WIFE TRIED TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE WITH HAND HELD TIRE GAUGE STEM BROKE OFF WENT FLAT SUDDENLY, THIRD EVENT REPEAT OF SAME TIRE VALVE STEM SNAPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND PULLING A TRAILER. DEALER STATED THEY COULD NOT PUT A STANDARD VALVE STEM ON THE CAR BECAUSE THE FACTORY ONE IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY DEVICE. 35 YEARS OF DRIVING AND A PISS POOR SAFETY DEVICE NEARLY GETS ME KILLED, VEHICLE IS A 2009 PONTIAC TORRENT WITH UNDER 50,000 MILES. ALSO PERSISTENT PROBLEM OF LOOSING TIRE PRESSURE. I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT REQUIRED DAILY TIRE PRESSURE CHECKS TYPICALLY A DAILY VISUAL AND ONCE A WEEK IS PRESSURE TEST IS ADEQUATE, BUT NOT THIS LEMON. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 PONTIAC TORRENT AWD. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT AIR BAG 98% OF THE TIME WONT TURN ON FOR MY WIFE. SHE WEIGHS 124 PDS AND THAT SHOULD BE MORE THEN ENOUGH TO SET IT TO AN "ON" POSITION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR HER. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY RESET THE SYSTEM BUT I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER TRIED TO GET GM TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS UP AS TO SETTINGS AND SUCH BUT THEY COULDN'T GET ANYWHERE WITH THEM. I CONTACTED GM AND COMPLAINED AND SOME PERSON FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY WHO YOU COULD JUST UNDERSTAND SAID THE SAME OLD THING ABOUT THE CAR. I KNOW THAT EARLIER PONTIAC TORRENTS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND A RECALL WAS DONE. I THINK GM STILL HAS A PROBLEM. THANKS *TR
