2008 PONTIAC SOLSTICE Air Bags Problems

The passenger presence sensor was fixed by the GM dealer after the safety recall was issued, but has failed again and now doesn't work. because the failure occurred more than 1 year after the dealer fixed it the first time, it is not covered for repair. Worse, if i was to order a new part and have it installed it still needs to go back to the dealer to have it programmed so there is no way to have this issue addressed without involving and paying a dealer who failed to fix the issue correctly the first time. reading in forums, many solstice owners report sensors failing a few years after recall repair.

The passenger seat air bag sensor is inoperative after having the recall completed April of 2022. When the vehicle was in for the recall, the sensor was fine, so the reinforcement strip was added. According to the recall reference N162080281, there is a 12 month warranty on the repair. Below is the wording from the recall. “Dealers are to inspect the PPS sensor mat for damage. If the mat is undamaged and functioning correctly, dealers will add a reinforcement strip to the sensor mat. If the mat is damaged, dealers will install a new PPS mat with the reinforcement strip. Please note that GM’s standard 1 year/12,000 mile service part warranty applies to both the sensor mat and the reinforcement strip, regardless of which repair procedure is used. If only the reinforcement strip is installed, and the sensor mat fails during the 1 year/12,000 mile warranty period, the sensor mat and the reinforcement strip should be replaced free of charge” I’ve contacted the dealer and GM, but neither will assist with the warranty, and my vehicle is without airbags. I was told that it may not apply to me, that the recall for my vehicle expired in 2017. I explained that it was replaced with an updated February 2018 to include the warranty. I believe the original recall was 17036, and the updated is 17036-02. If the recall expired 2017, why was I contacted in 2022 stating there was an open recall? If they added the warranty in 2018, why would it apply to some vehicles and not others?

DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO TAKATA RECALL OR NOT. I WANT TO KNOW HOW SAFE AM I DRIVING A 9 YEAR OLD CAR WITH NO AIR BAGS WORKING. CANNOT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE DEALERS SAY THEY CANNOT GET THE PART FROM GM. MEANWHILE I FEEL I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND A MESSAGE STATING CHECK AIRBAG SETTINGS. I ASSUME THIS WILL NOT GO AWAY UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I JUST HAVE TO HOPE THAT I DON'T HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I RECENTLY STARTED A RELATIONSHIP WHERE MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER HAS CHILDREN (ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO). I PREVIOUSLY DID NOT HAVE PASSENGERS VERY OFTEN.

THE AIR DIC LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ACTIVATION LIGHT SWITCHED TO OFF. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS BAD.

MY CAR ONLY HAS 56K MILES ON IT, BUT A BRIEF SEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2007 AND 2008 PONTIAC SOLSTICES -- OFTEN WITH MILES IN MID TO HIGH TWENTIES. THE FAILURE RATE OF THIS CRITICAL SYSTEM AND THE FACT IT DEFAULTS TO ALWAYS OFF WITH NO BYPASS FOR SELECTION PRESENTS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THE COST OF DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR IS JUST SHORT OF $1000, WHICH MEANS THAT A CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CARE THAT FAILS REGULARLY WITH LOW MILES AND IN MY CASE VERY LOW USE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE UNTIL RECENTLY WILL COST A MUCH MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD IN ORDER TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH AIR BAG SYSTEMS AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES.

THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" INDICATOR IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER CAME ON DURING THE NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING AND HAS REMAINED ON CONSTANTLY SINCE THAT TIME, APPROXIMATELY 12 MONTHS. THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO ANY ACCIDENT.

THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SINCE, AT A MINIMUM, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH DUE TO THIS FAULTY SEAT SENSOR. FURTHER RESEARCH COMPLETED BY MYSELF INDICATES THIS FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR MAY BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND SATURN SKY. THIS IS A RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR ($800+) BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, AND THE ASSOCIATED REPAIR COSTS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" INDICATOR IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER CAME ON DURING THE NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING AND HAS REMAINED ON CONSTANTLY SINCE THAT TIME, APPROXIMATELY 1 - 1.5 YRS. THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO ANY ACCIDENT. DIAGNOSIS USING ON OBD SCAN TOOL WAS COMPLETED BY A REPUTABLE LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SINCE, AT A MINIMUM, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH DUE TO THIS FAULTY SEAT SENSOR. FURTHER RESEARCH COMPLETED BY MYSELF INDICATES THIS FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR MAY BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND SATURN SKY. THIS IS A RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR ($800+) BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, AND THE ASSOCIATED REPAIR COSTS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
