THE PASSENGER SENSOR IN MY PONTIAC SOLSTICE WENT OUT ON AUGUST 12TH WHILE THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS CAUSED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM TO LONGER FUNCTION. IT IS A VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO MANY SOLSTICE OWNERS. *TR
THE LIGHT IS ON ABOUT MY SAFETY AIR BAG NOT WORKING AT ALL. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE MODULE FOR THE AIR BAG TO THE PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,700 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,300.
AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. SERVICE AIR BAG ON THE DISPLAY. CONTACTED GM B0081 CODE. $900 TO REPAIR. *TR
PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING A DEFECT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. *TR
VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY ON AN INCLINE AND LEFT WITH ENGINE OFF, PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND IN 1ST GEAR. VEHICLE WAS FOUND AFTER IT ROLLED DOWN THE INCLINE APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET AND WAS STOPPED BY HAVING RUN INTO A GROUP OF 7 FOOT HEIGHT HEDGES. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN FIRST GEAR WITH THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE STILL ENGAGED WHEN RECOVERED. *JB
I NOTICED THE AIR BAG PASSENGER LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATING OFF. THERE WAS AN ADULT IN THE SEAT WITH A WEIGHT OF 135 LBS. ALSO THE DIC DISPLAYED "SERVICE AIR BAG". *TR FROM WHAT I GATHER ON THE INTERNET, THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE. THE COST TO FIX THIS IS OVER $600. I CANNOT PAY THIS.
VEHICLE SHOWS "SERVICE AIR BAG" AFTER 42000 MILES, 80% OF WHICH WITHOUT A PASSENGER. PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF, WHILE PASSENGER IN CAR. NEVER COMES ON. WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. DEALER SAYS IT IS THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM, WILL NOT COVER IT, $1000+ REPAIR. *TR
SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE. CHECKED MANUAL AND MANUAL STATED TO SEE LOCAL DEALER IMMEDIATELY. IMMEDIATELY MEANS TO ME THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. TOOK TO AUTHORIZED PONTIAC DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED THE FOLLOWING: SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON SCANNED CODE B0081 CODE STORED CURRENT CHECK OUT PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS AND PPS SYSTEM HAS NO DATA PPS HAS CURRENT CODES 2036-1063 INDICATING FAILED PPS MODULE. $575.92 PTL TO REPLACE AND PROGRAM REPLACED PPS SYSTEM ALL IN ONE ASSY WITH CUSHION WIRING MODULE, ETC. RECALIBRATE SYSTEM CLEAR CODES AND RECHECK OPERATION OK. SO BOTTOM LINE, LIKE SEVERAL OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS FILED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WENT BAD. INQUIRED WITH AUTHORIZED DEALER IF PONTIAC WOULD STAND BEHIND WHAT IS AN APPARENT NUMEROUS OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE MAKE AND YEAR OCCURRENCE WITH THE VEHICLE. PROVIDED THE COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS SITE. AUTHORIZED DEALER SIMPLY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. HOW MANY MORE 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE'S WITH LOW MILEAGE HAVE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE A RECALL IS OBVIOUS? THIS IS NOT JUST A SQUEAKY RATTLE THIS IS SAFETY. THESE CARS ARE EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS FOR A REASON. THEY ARE SMALL COMPACT TWO SEATERS. WITHOUT A PROPERLY WORKING AIR BAG IT COULD BE FATAL FOR PASSENGER IN A COLLISION. BECAUSE OF THE SMALL SIZE OF THE CAR IT WOULD NOT TAKE A SUBSTANTIAL COLLISION FOR SAFETY TO BE A AN ISSUE. WILL IT REQUIRE SOMEONE BEING PERMANENTLY INJURED OR

NOW THE DISPLAY PANEL READS "SERVICE AIRBAGS", SINCE APPROX 55,000 KMS. I TOOK IT INTO GM, WHO ADVISED THAT I NEED A SDM MODULE. I AM EXTREMELY SURPRISED. THIS IS AN ABNORMAL SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, THROUGH RESEARCH, APPEARS TO BE A COMMON CLASS ISSUE WITH THE SOLSTICE, THIS BEGS FOR GM TO LEAN FWD WITH VOLUNTARY RECALL BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST AS A RESULT, OR BEFORE IT GROWS TO AN EXTENT AKIN TO WHAT TOYOTA RECENTLY EXPERIENCED WITH LACK OF FWD THINKING & PROACTIVE DUE DILIGENCE. *TR

PEG AND INSERT CONNECTION OF CONVERTIBLE ROOF AND TRUNK ARE RUSTING ON INTERIOR. APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY ALLOYS IN CONTACT WITHOUT PROVOCATION OF MOISTURE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER (CAR IS 2 MONTHS AND GARAGED) AND REPAIR SERVICE COULD ONLY CLEAN RUST OFF AND LUBE. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE RUST RETURNED. THE SOLUTION WOULD HAVE BEEN TO USE A STAINLESS STEEL SNAPPING PIN IN THE TRUNKS RECEPTACLES WHERE THE PEG COMES DOWN INTO CONTACT. GM CURRENTLY HAS NO RECALL AND THE DEALER IS PUTTING THE RESPONSIBILITY ON GM AND NOR HONORING MY WARRANTY. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THIS MODEL SO BUGS ARE TO BE EXPECTED, HOWEVER NO ONE IS TAKING CARE OF MY CAR WHILE THEY SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS. ULTIMATELY, WHEN THESE PINS WHICH ARE PART OF THE TRUNK RUST THROUGH (THEY ARE NO THICKER THAN A 3 PENNY NAIL) THE ROOK WILL BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRUNK LEADING TO POSSIBLE INJURY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY PONTIAC 2007 SOLSTICE THIS PAST SUMMER "NEW" FROM PAUL BENTON PONTIAC IN OAK RIDGE TN. I LOVE MY CAR BUT, EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT HAS HAD VIBRATION PROBLEMS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BECAUSE THE TOP WOULD MAKE A SCRAPPING NOISES WHILE DRIVING. WELL THE NOISE COMES AND GOES, I TOOK MY CAR TODAY AND HAD THE SAFETY RECALL DONE. THEY REPLACED THE REAL PINION SEAL, THEY JUST REPLACED ONE SEAL. IS IT JUST ONE SEAL OR DO THEY NEED TO REPLACE MORE BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THE SERVICE COUNTER INFORMED ME THAT MY BACK R/R AND L/R WHEELS ARE BENT. THEY BALANCED THE TIRES BUT IT NOW THE VIBRATION IS WORSE THAN BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE PART. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE THE STEERING IS LOOSE IN IT, IT WAS TIGHT AND NOW THE WHEEL TURNS BUT THE WHEELS TAKE A WHILE TO CATCH UP. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT MORE THAN HALF THE TIME. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANGER IF HE COULD FIX IT BUT HE SAID THE ONLY THING COVERED UNDER THE RECALL WAS THE PART AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT WAS WRONG WITH IT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS FAR CONSIDERING I PAID ALMOST 30,000 FOR THIS CAR HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN A YEAR AND NO FAULT OF MY OWN IT IS HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
