2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE Complaints

PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION AIRBAG SENSOR MODULE OR PPS IS DEFECTIVE AND DOES NOT ARM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WITH AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER ESTIMATE IS $1000 TO REPLACE THE SEAT CUSHION. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MOST IF NOT EVENTUALLY ALL PONTIAC SOLSTICES. THIS SUB STANDARD CRITICAL LIFE SAFETY PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN ON JULY 4, 2014, THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR PASSENGER WENT FROM ON TO OFF (THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT) AND A SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED DEALER TO CHECK ON THIS, ALREADY HAD AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR JULY 9TH TO REPLACE IGNITION SWITCH (RECALL). WERE TOLD THAT THE TWO INCIDENTS WERE NOT RELATED. RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT (AT DEALER) ON JULY 9, 2014 THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY MODULE FOR AIRBAG SYSTEM AND WOULD COST $750.00 TO REPLACE. THERE APPEAR TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AIRBAG ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT DON'T FEEL LIKE THERE IS ANY CHOICE! *TR

RECEIVED A RECALL ON FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH DATED APRIL 2014. CALLED A DEALER TO INQUIRE ON APRIL 24, 2014. WAS TOLD THAT PART WOULD BE ORDERED AND WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN AVAILABLE. CALLED 5/19/14 AGAIN TO DEALER, NO PART IN YET. CALLED AGAIN JULY 3, 2014. FINALLY AN APPOINTMENT WAS SET UP FOR WED. JULY 9TH (YESTERDAY). I FEEL THAT IS WAY TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR WHAT COULD BE A LIFE OR DEATH MATTER! *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A FAULTY PPS SYSTEM I HAVE HAD NO WRECKS AND THINK THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE DEALER WITHOUT CHARGE AS THERE IS NO REASON FOR FAULTY AIRBAG. *TR
