“My 2008 pontaic Torrent front door and front passenger door do not lock with the fob, the back doors do. And while in drive, they do not automatically lock, I have to manually lock the doors. Safety hazard. I have read on the internet that this is a very common problem, something about frayed harness wires. Very disappointed, this should not be a common problem.”

“Left side windows and locks will not open with key or remote periodically. Air bag light off when sitting and comes on when no one on pasngr side. Car was rear ended and front ended but ferrman stated they fixed properly. Door locks and windows worked fine before that and air bag has been a problem but stating I have to pay for all repairs. I feel that there are enough air bag recalls to add the 2008 to the list of 2007 ones. This vehicle is a limited edition. Only two yrs made. Parts are very expensive and hard to get now. …”
