AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AT 39000 MILES, FOUND ON INTERNET WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, CALLED DEALERSHIP IN ALVIN TX AND ASKED ABOUT RECALL, TOLD NO RECALL AND I SAID "THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM THAT NEEDS A RECALL", WAS TOLD BY SERVICE WRITER THAT "AIR BAGS ARE NOT A SAFETY ITEM, ONLY REASON THEY ARE PUT IN A CAR IS BECAUSE OF BEING MANDATORY BY GOVERNMENT, AND AS LONG AS PASSENGER HAS SEAT BELT ON THEN EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FINE", WHO ARE THESE FOOLS THAT GENERAL MOTORS HIRE? DO THEY REALLY BELIEVE THIS S*&%? OR IS IT A WAY TO GET PEOPLE FROM PUSHING FOR REPAIRS? ANYWAYS, I WANT TO SELL THIS VEHICLE BUT WHO WOULD BUY A VEHICLE FOR A REASONABLE PRICE FOR A DEATH TRAP, WELL, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT GM BUILDS, THEY WONT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS OR FOR THE CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE MADE THEM SOOOO MUCH MONEY OVER THE YEARS, AND WITH OUR TAXES THAT BAILED THEM OUT AND PAID TO KEEP THEM WITH JOBS THEY JUST KEEP SCREWING THE CUSTOMERS OVER, WHEN WILL EVERYONE WISE UP AND JUST SHUT THEM DOWN WITH THE QUALITY THAT THEY HAND OUT, WELL, FOR NOW ON I AM GOING TO DO MY PART. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR SOME TIME NOW. I TOOK IT TO GM DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A REASON WHY THE AIR BAG IS NOT WORKING. GM SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE PART BUT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. IM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW MANY ACCIDENTS NEED TO OCCUR BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

AFTER STARTING MY 2007 SOLSTICE, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, EVEN THOUGH MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A CAR THAT ONLY HAD 21,139 MILES ON IT, AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT. ALSO, THERE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I FEEL THAT SUCH A SAFETY ITEM SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER ONLY 21,139 MILES. ..UPDATED 12/17/13 *BF

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED, THIS LEAVES THE PASSENGER UNPROTECTED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MY CAR. THE FIRST WAS ON 5/18/2009 AT 15501 MILES AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WELL THIS TIME THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OWNER'S COST TO FIX THIS ITEM IS PROHIBITIVE ($500 - $800), BY VIEWING THE SOLSTICE FORUM ON-LINE IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND AS A SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY YOUR AGENCY. THE WEB SITE IS: HTTP://WWW.SOLSTICEFORUM.COM/FORUM/F12/DIC-SERVICE-AIR-BAG-FAMILIAR-ANYONE-69046/ PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND REQUIRE GM TO REPLACE ALL DEFECTIVE UNITS. THANK YOU *TR

FOR YEARS, THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE AIR BAG SYSTEM HAS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO DETECT PASSENGERS. NOW THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED, AND THE AIRBAG DASH WARNING LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON. A GM SERVICE CENTER REPORTS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST IN EXCESS OF $900. *JS

MY CAR SUDDENLY BRAKES HARD ON IT'S OWN AS I AM SLOWING AND GENTLY APPLYING BRAKES. IT STARTS AROUND 20 MPH. IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. TO HAVE YOUR CAR SLAM ON IT'S BRAKES ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE POWERTRAIN/TRANSMISSION CAN THROW ERROR CODES P0700 AND P2637 AND THAT CAN CAUSE THE SAME SUDDEN BRAKING OF THE CAR ON IT'S OWN. ALSO MY COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE(DIGITAL) INTERMITTENTLY GOES BLANK SHOWING ONLY THREE DASHES INSTEAD OF THE TEMP. WHEN IT DOES THIS MY AIR/HEAT WILL NOT WORK. MY PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. ALSO MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I ALSO HAVE A MYSTERIOUS COOLANT LEAK BUT IT'S INTERMITTENT AS WELL. *TR

SERVICE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIT UP ON DISPLAY IN DASH AT THE SAME TIME PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH WENT OFF AND DID NOT COME BACK ON I HAD DEALER CHECK THIS AS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS NOW INOPERATIVE AS I DID NOT WANT MY WIFE RIDING IN THIS SEAT WITHOUT IT WORKING PROPERLY. HE INFORMED ME A SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAILURE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AS I HAVE CHECKED WITH SEVERAL SOLSTICE OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEMS SOME WITH AS LOW AS 2300 MILES ON THEIR VEHICLES THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR I PURCHASED MY SECOND PONTIAC. TODAY THIS VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE SAME SERVICE MESSAGE AS MY OTHER PONTIAC. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND STAYED ON. MY OTHER PONTIAC HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS NOW, I CAN'T AFFORD THE $750 IT COSTS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG ON THE FIRST PONTIAC IS THE MAIN REASON I STILL HAVE THE ISSUES, BUT NOW MY SECOND PONTIAC PURCHASE IS HAVING THE SAME ERROR. THIS HAS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR MORE THAN JUST ME. I DO SEE THAT THE AIR BAG HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR MY MODEL BUT A DIFFERENT YEAR. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO BE MORE THAN ONE MODEL ISSUE. THANKS *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE DISPLAYED. I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THE MODULE WAS NO GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $800.00. I BELIEVE WITH ONLY 39000 MILES GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR
