AIR BAGS, SEATS
07 - GXP CURRENTLY 46K MILES. I TURN MY CAR ON ONE DAY AFTER CLEANING IT AT HOME AND I AM GREETED WITH A MESSAGE ON MY DISPLAY SAYING SERVICE AIR BAG AND FOUR RAPID AUDIBLE CHIMES. THAT PASSENGER SEAT NEVER HAD ANYONE MORE THAN THE WEIGHT OF AN AVERAGE HUMAN ON IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE YET I AM FORCED TO DEAL WITH IT UNLESS I FORK OVER CLOSE TO $1000 AT THE DEALER. OTHER VEHICLE MAKES HAVE BEEN REWARDED A RECALL FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT NOT FOR PONTIAC/SATURN!!! COME ON! IT'S NOT OUR FAULT THEY PHASED OUT. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY CAR IN FEAR OF THEIR SAFETY. I USED TO LOVE HAVING A PASSENGER WITH ME WITH THE TOP DOWN ENJOYING LIFE AND THE FUN OF THIS CAR - AS IT WAS BUILT FOR. FIX THIS MESS PLEASE....FOR ALL OF US SOLSTICE/SKY OWNERS AND FUTURE OWNERS. THANK YOU! *TR

THE BAG IN THIS CAR WAS ALREADY WORKED ON FOR A RECALL THAT I BELIEVE INVOLVED A SWITCH. NOW IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR IS NO LONGER SENSING THE PASSENGER. NO MATTER THAT WELL OVER 100 POUNDS IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG REMAINS OFF.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING WITH NO PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. TAKEN TO GM DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR FAILED (PSS ERROR). THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 16000 MILES AND THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS USED PERHAPS 5% OF THAT TIME. I WAS QUOTED $800 FOR REPAIR SINCE THE BOTTOM PASSENGER SEAT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP16001

AIR BAG SENSOR FOR PASSENGER SEAT WENT OUT WITH JUST OVER 30,000 MILES ON CAR. EVERYONE WHOM I KNOW WITH A PONTIAC SOLSTICE OR SATURN SKY HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE DISABLES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND MAKES IT UNSAFE FOR PASSENGER TO RIDE IN CAR. SENSOR IN SEAT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE IN THE SEAT. SHE WEIGHS 125 POUNDS SO IT WAS NOT A LOADING ISSUE.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR "AIRBAG SERVICE" AND PASSENGER WARNING LIGHT FOR SAME. HAD INSPECTED $100 AT LOCAL SERVICE STATION. INFORMATION GIVEN TO ME IS THAT SENSOR UNDER PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND IT WILL COST ME $725 APPROX TO HAVE FIXED. I'VE ATTACHED PHOTO OF THE DETERMINATION FROM THE SERVICE STATION. CODE B0081 - ABS IS REFLECTED WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL? I THOUGHT SAFETY ITEMS HAD TO BE REPAIRED BY THE MFG. MY CAR HAS 52000 MILES ONLY.
