2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE Complaints

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR INDICATES THAT IT IS "OFF" EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS PRESENT. RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS DISPLAYED ON DASH. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR GOING OUT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COSTLY REPAIR THAT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE OWNER! GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE SINCE IT IS SO PREVALENT AMONG SOLSTICE OWNERS. IS OUR SAFETY NOT IMPORTANT?... *TR

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THE AIRBAG WASN'T WORKING. DIAGNOSTIC TOOL SHOWED THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR MAY BE BAD. *TR

THE PASSENGER PRESENCE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE IN MY VEHICLE FAILED AT JUST OVER 11K MILES. ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR FACES ADDED RISK IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. THE OWNER'S COST TO FIX THIS ITEM IS PROHIBITIVE ($500 - $800), AND THAT THE EARLY FAILURE OF THIS PART IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE APPEARED ON LCD DISPLAY, PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED WITH MY DAUGHTERS SAFETY, I PAID OVER $900 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL DUE TO ITS DIRECTLY PREVENTING THE FUNCTION OF A CRASH SAFETY SYSTEM INTENDED TO SAVE LIVES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE APPEARED ON LCD DISPLAY, PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS THAT THIS SENSOR FAILURE IS A PERVASIVE ISSUE AND SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL DUE TO ITS DIRECTLY PREVENTING THE FUNCTION OF A CRASH SAFETY SYSTEM INTENDED TO SAVE LIVES. IF THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT FALL UNDER FEDERAL GUIDELINES FOR A NECESSARY RECALL, GM SHOULD INSTITUTE A GOOD-CONSCIENCE RECALL DUE TO THE PROHIBITIVE COST OF REPLACEMENT OF THIS SIMPLE SENSOR (<$800). *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INFORMATION LIGHT CAM ON. BROUGHT TO GM DEALER SAID TO BE PAS,SEAT SENSOR WAS BAD OUT OF WARRANTY AND TO REPAIR AT A COST OF 800.00 DOLLARS I THINK THIS SAFETY ITEM SHOULD BE GMS CONCERN. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 SOLSTICE AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER CHECKED AND ESTIMATED $770. FOR REPAIR. IN MY OPINION, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE FOR SAFETY REASONS. *TR

THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN MY VEHICLE FAILED SHORTLY (2 MOS) AFTER ITS 'BUMPER-TO-BUMPER' WARRANTY EXPIRED. ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR FACES ADDED RISK IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OWNER'S COST TO FIX THIS ITEM IS PROHIBITIVE ($500 - $800), AND THAT THE FAILURE OF THIS PART IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE BRAND. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON AN APPROXIMATE 30 DEGREE INCLINE WHEN IT ROLLED DOWN THE PAVED SURFACE AND STRUCK A CONRETE CURB. THIS OCCURRED AFTER THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS AND EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE CABLE HAD BEEN REPLACED AND ADJUSTED SUBSEQUENT TO AN EARLIER INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY PARKED WITHOUT ROLLING ON ANY INCLINED SURFACE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT SLOW THE CAR DOWN AT ALL WHEN ENGAGED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ROLLING AT LESS THEN 1 MPH. *TR
