MY 2006 PONTIAC SOLSTICE HAS A RECALL NOTICE (GM SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 17036). A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER (SUNSET IN SARASOTA FL) ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. SERVICE SAID IT WAS REPAIRABLE AND QUOTED $150.00. I CHOOSE TO WAIT AND DRIVE ANOTHER CAR. SINCE THEN I RECEIVED THE A RECALL NOTICE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE PERTAINING TO THE RECALL. THIS PROBLEM IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STAYS IN THE "OFF" POSITION AND WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. SEEMS STRANGE THAT THE DEALER HAS THE PARTS IF I WANTED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. I WANT TO START USING MY CAR, BUT DO NOT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP.

THE PASSENGER SEAT DO NOT REGISTER OCCUPIED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON, WONT GO OFF

THE AIRBAG NOT FUNCTIONING LIGHT IS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR IDLING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY REPORTED THERE WERE NO ACTIVE CODES. AFTER READING ONLINE ABOUT THIS I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT I AM DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS FUNCTIONING AND EITHER A DISHONEST DEALER OR AN INCOMPETENT TECH. *TR

AT 80,000 MILES AND VERY LITTLE TIME SPENT WITH A PASSENGER, THE AIRBAG SENSOR LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILED. THIS DISABLES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND CONTINUALLY DISPLAYS BOTH A WARNING ON THE VEHICLE'S DIC AND A LIGHT ON THE DASH. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE AGE AND USE OF THE CAR. THE SENSOR WAS REMOVED AND EXAMINED TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAULT. A BREAKAGE WAS FOUND OF THE INTERNAL ELECTRICAL CONTACTS AT THE CENTER OF THE SENSOR MAT. THE FAULT DISPLAYED WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS REMAINED SINCE.

WHILE DRIVING ON SMOOTH ROAD AT 55 MILES PER HOUR AND NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH "SERVICE AIRBAG" MESSAGE ON INFO SCREEN. HAD A DEALER SCAN CODES AND FOUND PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR BAD. AFTER GOOGLING IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC SOLSTICE THAT IS NOT DRIVEN VERY MUCH. I WENT ON VACATION AND REALIZED MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON WHEN SOME ONE SEATS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE LIGHT STAYS OFF ALL THE TIME. NOW THE AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF, WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE SERVICED. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE AIR BAGS AND WHY ARE THEY NOT WORKING PROPERLY?
