2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE Complaints

WHEN I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN OR ENGAGE THE BREAK, THE CAR WILL JERK FORWARD . IT'S GOTTEN WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT DAILY SINCE I NOTICED IT, TO THE POINT WHERE I'M TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT ALL ANYMORE

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME ON DIC. RESEARCHED SEVERAL PONTIAC SOLSTICE, AS WELL AS SATURN SKY AND OPEL GT, FORUMS THAT ADDRESS THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM MODULE, GM P/N 19124219, AS THE COMMON FAILURE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A WELL DOCUMENTED HIGH FAILURE RATE SAFETY PART.

BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE,THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG..THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON SHOWING THIS AIR BAG IS NOT WORKING.I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH PASSENGER AIR BAG NOT WORKING,I CALLED ON STAR AND THEY GAVE ME A CODE B0081 SAYING I SHOULD A TAKE TO DEALER. I CALLED PONTIAC AND THEY TOLD ME UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL,THE COST TO REPAIR IS ON ME.LOOKS LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS ON 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW,IT STAYS IN THE GARAGE,NOT DRIVEN MUCH AND VERY SELDOM ANYONE IN PASSENGER SEAT.

AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THIS OCCURS AT RANDOM TIMES, NOT JUST WENT STARTING THE CAR. WANTING TO KNOW IF OTHER PONTIAC SOLSTICES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IF THIS WILL BE PART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL.

THE AIRBAG SEAT SENSOR HAS FAILED AND RENDERED THE PASSANGER SIDE AIRBAG NON-WORKING. THE REPAIR IS IN THE RANGE OF $1,000, SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE WITHOUT AN AIRBAG.

RECALL 2007 FOR REAR AXLE PINION SEAL AND FOR AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. AN GOING ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES WHICH GM REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. BOTH WERE "REPAIRED" IN ORIGINAL RECALL BUT ARE RECURRING. I MADE CONTACT WITH GM AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION ON EITHER PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS 51000 ORIGINAL MILES. REPAIRS COST ME OVER $3500.00 FOR BOTH ON 6/19/2015. GM CASE # 71-1488399100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND THE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED, WITH A WARNING MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE AIR BAG SENSORS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,560. UPDATED 09/02/15*LJ UPDATED 12/15/2015 *JS

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE MY CAR JERKS HARD WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 20-30 MPH. WHEN THE CAR DOWN SHIFTS WHILE SLOWING DOWN IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS BRAKING HARD WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GEARS. IT IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING!!! WHILE DRIVING TO WORK OR WITH MY CHILD I NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I KNOW THAT EVENTUALLY IT WILL LEAD TO ME OR ONE OF MY LOVED ONES BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!!! I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE, BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THOSE IT HAVE A RECALL.

PASSENGER ACTIVATED INSTRUMENT PANEL ICON "SERVICE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG." TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE #1924219 FOR $362.47 (OUR HALF) GM PICKED UP THE OTHER HALF. AGAIN ON 5/27/2015, 33,612 MILES SAME CONDITION OCCURRED. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME THE SAME MODULE COSTS US $1,02 9.21. GM FEELS NOT THEIR PROBLEM? THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE AND RARELY IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT! THE DEALER CANNOT TELL US IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON? CAN YOU TELL US IF GM HAS A DEFECTIVE MODULE PROBLEM?

DASHBOARD SAYS"SERVICE AIR BAG". HAD IT DIAGNOSED. DEALER SAYS SENSOR OF AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED COST 1100
