There was a recall regarding the airbag sensor. My airbag light was not on, but I brought it into my dealer for repairs. This car is only driven in the summer months and was driven only a few times after the recall was performed. I park it during the winter. The second time I drove it in the spring, the airbag light came on. I called my dealer and informed them of the issue. They told me that the sensor they had installed was defective and I needed to replace the sensor. The only problem is they refuse to fix it. They said they fixed the recall and that I would have to pay to fix it. They installed a defective part and now want to charge me 733.53 to replace said defective part. It was bad enough that they charged me 193.75 to tell me this. So now I have a car that does not recognize that there is a person in the seat, so the airbags won't deploy. Even if I could afford this repair, how can the dealer refuse to replace their defective recall repair. Especially when it is an essential safety issue.

This is a known failure and a previous recall. The PPS system is a failed design and breaks continuously. Look at all the complaints you have received. This is extremely dangerous and GM should not be allowed to dismiss. Will it take deaths or lawsuits for GM to respond? This is the reason the NHTSA exists. GM needs to be directed to fix with a permanent solution when it involves the failure of airbags to deploy.

AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS 2024-08-13 · NHTSA 11608200

I bought a 2007 Pontiac Solstice recently from an individual. I saw online that there was an airbag recall. I called my local Chevy dealer and they ordered the recall kit. I brought the car in and they did the fix. However, the airbag, on the passenger side, problem still existed. Sometimes, when my 110 lb. wife got in the passenger side, the airbag would read "ON", and sometimes it would not. So I took my car back to the dealer today. The service manager showed me a bulletin from General Motors, that said the passenger, had to weigh at least 150 lbs. for the airbag to work. I feel this is a real safety concern and need to know how to get this safety issue resolved.

While applying the brakes the car down shifts hard, locking up and jerking. Many others had reported this problem in online forums. Stating a power train or module issue. Very dangerous not knowing if your car my jerk into someone or something out of your control.

New in 2007 Pontiac Solstice. In May of 2018 the recall 17036 was completed at 28,000 after waiting several months for the solution and then several months for the part to arrive. PPS passenger seat weighted sensor module failed again August 2023 at 36,000 miles. Repair only lasted 8,000 miles. I was told this module controls the passenger seat air bag. I was also told that if module fails the passenger seat air bag will not deploy putting the passenger in an unsafe position. The passenger present light will be off when seat is occupied. The DIC (information display) will only read service air bag until the fault code is corrected. I use this to mainly to monitor coolant temperature of the engine although it has other functions. There will also be a red warning light on in the middle of the dash cluster. Visiting the forums there are many on their third and fourth repair. The recall should be reopened. One quote I received was for over $ 1,200. I do not feel I should have to pay out of pocket for a safety issue. In order to protect my passenger that is why I paid to have the recalled part replaced again. Your passenger is also your lifeline. Yes, I know it is out of warranty on this Safety incident. Many say the manufacturer should cover the safety issues. I feel dealership should cover this expensive safety issue at the directive of manufacturer.

Service Air Bag warning light is on for passenger seat. Had the PPM replaced and still does not work. Dealer said I need to replace the Front Impact Sensor. Is this covered on a recall? The cost is almost $500.

AIR BAGS 2023-03-09 · NHTSA 11511051

This is the second time the passenger airbag has stopped working. The first incident the airbag was recalled and GM installed a new one. The new airbag worked for a few years, until approximately four months ago (approx November 2022) when the airbag sensor light began staying on.

AIR BAGS 2022-12-26 · NHTSA 11498853

Had a recall for the airbags a few years ago. I got it "fixed" at that time but soon after getting it done, the "check airbags" light came back on. I've been chancing it each time I get behind the wheel because of the hassle I went through with dealing with the recall. The first GM location I went to wanted to charge me. The second GM location that "fixed" the airbag was over an hour away so I had to inconvenience someone to go back and forth with me to drop off and pick up the car days later. Then as mentioned, soon after the "repair", the light was back on so I believe they just put a band-aid on the problem but didnt really fix it. Now after coming very close to a collision, I want to get this repaired but do not feel I should pay for it. This is a safety concern and reading through the complaints, it appears many are having the same reoccurring issue. Car only has 55,000 miles.

AIR BAGS,SEATS 2022-08-23 · NHTSA 11480679

The airbag sensor in the passenger seat has been recalled before, their only fix was to wrap it in tape, which does not solve the issue, this is a continuing problem for owners of kappa platform cars (Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, etc.) for years and gm continues to ignore it, it is absolutely a safety issue due to the exorbitant price of the fix many people will just continue to drive the vehicle with no functioning passenger airbag.

When I was slowing down to come to a stop at 15-20mph it suddenly hard shifted and jerked like the brakes came on but I did not have my foot on the brake. The back tires squealed like they locked up or something. Lucky no one was behind me or I may have gotten rear ended. My care has 50K miles and this is the first time this has happened. I drove straight home and it did it 4-5 times more on the way home? Any ideas as to what the problem may be? This is definitely a safety issue. From what I have read this looks like this has been an ongoing issue for awhile.. Has this issue been looked at before? If so, what is the resolutions?

gm recall March 2017 #17036 changed out a defective passenger presence module and now 5 years later the same switch went out again but repair shop said its not covered by any recalls. The vehicle has 60538 miles and is not a daily driver as I have 4 vehicles and very rarely carry any passengers. I feel like the switch replaced was still defective and should be covered by gm. it cost me $980.95 to replace it.

The airbag safety indicator shows a fault, indicating the passenger airbag is not operational. I researched the cause since we have no local GM dealers and the forums show this issue was addressed by a recall notice. However, this care was not part of that recall. I will be happy to have it inspected but don't want to pay the outrageous prices for a dealer inspection, especially since the closest shop is 25 miles away and I don't want it left outside (never been in rain).

I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP AS SHE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HIT HER BROADSIDE AT 70MPH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY CAUSING THE ENGINE TO ALMOST COME THROUGH TO MY LAP. I SUFFERED EXTENSIVE INJURIES DUE TO THIS AND HAD TO BE AIR MED'D TO NEW ORLEANS TRAUMA HOSPITAL DUE TO THIS. AS A RESULT I AM STILL SUFFERING WITH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL INJURIES AND THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OR SENT ANY NOTIFICATION OR INFORMATION REGARDING THE SAFETY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T HAVE DRIVEN IT AND WOULD HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP IF I WAS NOTIFIED. I BELIEVE THAT MY INJURIES WOULDN'T BE SO EXTENSIVE IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE SAFETY RECALL ISSUES ON MY CAR, WHICH IS NOW TOTALED. I AM VERY UPSET THAT SOMEONE FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB AND INFORM ME OF HOW UNSAFE MY CAR WAS. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND HOPE THAT NO ONE ELSE WAS AS SEVERELY INJURED DUE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S NEGLIGENCE. I AM NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND CANNOT WORK DUE TO MY SUFFERING FROM THIS ACCIDENT AND BELIEVE THAT MY INJURIES WOULDN'T BE SO SEVERE IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ME ABOUT SAFETY RECALLS THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED ON MY CAR.
