AIR BAGS
WE PURCHASED THE 2006 PONTIAC SOLSTICE APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO AND FOR THE PAST YEAR HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT FAILS INSPECTION IN MASSACHUSETTS FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH GM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT AT THIS POINT ARE NOT BEING MADE TO CORRECT IT. HOW CAN THAT BE ALLOWED. WE ENJOYED THE CAR VERY MUCH WHEN WE COULD DRIVE IT BUT JUST TAKING UP SPACE IN THE GARAGE IS NOT WHAT WE PURCHASED THE CAR FOR. WE HAVE REPLACED THE AIR BAG SENSOR NOW TWICE AND CURRENTLY THE CAR IS AT THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOW TO HAVE THE AIR BAG SENSOR REPLACED YET AGAIN, IS GM EVER GOING TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS? *TR

2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT AND PASSENGER SEAT ISSUES. CONSUMER HAS ANOTHER VEHICLE COMPLAINT IN ARTEMIS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON, WHEN THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THE CONSUMER HAVE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM REPLACED. ON AUGUST 15, 2013, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHERE THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE WAS REPLACED. AFTER THE DEALER, BROUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM THE SERVICE BAY, THE CONSUMER HAD A PASSENGER SIT IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. THEY HAD A GM REPRESENTATIVE WEIGHING 145 POUNDS SIT IN THE SEAT AND IT WOULD COME ON PERIODICALLY. BUT, ONE HAD TO MANIPULATE THE KEY TO HAVE IT COME ON. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THE CUSHION BE REPLACED. *JB

AIR BAGS
I PURCHASED THE CARE THREE YEARS FROM A DEALER. THE FIRST YEAR AND A HALF I HAD NO PROBLEMS. THAT ALL CHANGED AS THE CHECK AIR BAG RED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON RELATING TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THAT FOLLOWED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDING REPLACEMENT WITHOUT EVER RECEIVING A NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE SENT ONLY TO THE DEALERS, NOT THE OWNERS BY GM. UPON GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPLACE THE CONVERTER. MOST RECENT WAS A MAILED NOTICE IN REFERENCE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING RECALLED AND WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN. HOWEVER, AFTER WRITING THE NEW CHAIRMAN OF GM AND INFORMING HER OF MY PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG ABOUT TWO MONTHS A REPLY CAME BACK WITH ANY RESOLVE TO THE PROBLEM. AS OF RECENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT GM IS IN THE NEW AGAIN WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SPORT VEHICLES SUCH AS THE CADILLAC ESCALATE. IN OWNING CARS OR OVER 50 YEARS I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED A CHECK AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT MY CAR WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME AIR BAG SENSING SYSTEM AS PLACED IN THEIR SPORT VEHICLES. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT OTHERS MAY BE IN FOR LETHAL ACCIDENT IF SUCH AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DOES NOT OCCUR DURING AN ACCIDENT. NO ACCIDENT YET! THE ABOVE DATE IS WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT FIRST CAME ON AND STILL ON. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

AIR BAGS, SEATS
EVERY TIME I START MY CAR, I'M TOLD MY AIR BAGS NEED TO BE SERVICED. MY DEALER SAYS IT'S GOING TO COST ALMOST $900 TO FIX. AFTER SOME DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE SEAT SENSOR MECHANISM IS APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE AND THE COST TO FIX IT IS MORE THAN EXORBITANT. I'M ALSO WORRIED ABOUT PUTTING MYSELF AND/OR MY PASSENGERS AT RISK BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE CONFIRMEDLY INFORMATION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE AIR BAGS ARE DEFECTIVE OR NOT. *TR
