TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE BULB HOUSING COVER MELTED AND CAUSED THE BULB TO FAIL. THE BULB HOUSING COVER AND THE BULB WERE REPLACED.

PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR FAILED. PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SERVICE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH ACCORDING TO SERVICE MANUAL

BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR SHORTED OUT AND MELTED AND ALSO MELTED THE WIRING HARNESS AS WELL. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I SMELLED SMOKE AND THEN SEEN IT COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE DASH ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM SEE LINK. HTTP://WWW.SOLSTICEFORUM.COM/FORUM/F62/HEATER-AC-BLOWER-STOPPED-WORKING-68002/ THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE H3 HUMMER FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE HUMMER AND PONTIACS USE THE SAME PART # FROM FACTORY. HTTP://WWW.SOLSTICEFORUM.COM/FORUM/F11/NEW-RECALL-LOOMING-BLOWER-WIRING-HARNESS-115465/ THESE LINKS OUTLINE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS MYSELF. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY GM KNOWINGLY USES SAME PARTS ON VARIOUS VEHICLES AND ONLY RECALLS ONE IN SPECIFIC. IT IS OBVIOUS THERE IS A PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS WILL

MY INSTRUMENT PANEL IS READING SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS AFFECTING ME TO BE ABLE TO SEE MY ODOMETER READING, I HAVE TWO PONTIAC SOLSTICE CARS AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY ARE GETTING THE SAME READING ON THEIR CARS,I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS JUST GOING TO GO OFF ON ITS OWN ONE DAY OR NOT GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE STOPPED WORKING IN MY 2006 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. THERE'S ONLY ABOUT 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ITS NOT A RECALL ITEM OR COVERED REPAIR ITEM. COST TO REPLACE $1,000.00. I CALLED GM/PONTIAC AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL/COVERED SAFETY REPAIR ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER REPAIRS OR OFFER DISCOUNT FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE GARAGE PARKED FOR OVER A YEAR. IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION UNTIL THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURE NOT THE CONSUMER. I'M STILL PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE.... (DATE SELECTED IS APPROXIMATE)

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE MORE THEN ONCE AND APPARENTLY NO ONE CARES BECAUSE YOU HAVE TOLD ME BEFORE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND RECALL DOESN'T COVERAGE PASSANGER PROBLEM. FOR AT LEAST 3 YEARS I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER AIR BAG AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I DO LIVE IN FLORIDA.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SWITCH IN SEAT STOPPED WORKING ONLY AFTER TWO YEARS, OUT OF WARRANTEE AND WILL COST OVER $900.00 TO REPLACE. DROVE SOLO FOR MOST OF THAT TIME SO WHY DID IT HAPPEN?

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED. I SEE THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION SO I THOUGHT I WOULD ADD THAT MINE HAS FAILED.

PETITION FOR NHTSA TO COMMENCE PROCEEDINGS FOR AN INVESTIGATION OF THE 2006 - 2010 PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND THE 2007 -2010 SATURN SKY, SPECIFICALLY THE AREA OF AIR BAGS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (CD ENCLOSED). *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE HAD REPEATED FAILURES OF THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM (PSS) SENSOR MAT. OVER TIME, THE MAT WILL KINK AND FOLD WITH USE AND EVENTUALLY A BREAK WILL DEVELOP IN THE CIRCUITRY OF THE SENSOR MAT CAUSING A FAILURE AND POSSIBLY LEADING TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NOT DEPLOYING IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. *JB
