The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac Solstice. The contact stated the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V061000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was repaired under the recall; however, DTC: B008171 (Passenger air bag Suppression System) warning light remained illuminated. The contact stated that the warning light was illuminated prior to the recall repair being performed. The vehicle remained at the dealer; however, no further repairs were made. The dealer suggested that additional diagnostic tests were needed to determine the cause of the warning light being illuminated. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac Solstice. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the failure was linked with NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V061000 (Air Bags); however, the vehicle was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

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.

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.

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).

Passenger Presence System Issue Started Solstice in garage and backed out on to driveway (PPS indicates passenger air bag off. This is Correct) Stop car on driveway and put transmission in park. Passenger enters vehicle sits down and buckles belt. (PPS indicates passenger air bag off This is incorrect) Back out of driveway and put in Drive. PPS still indicates no passenger This is incorrect. Stop car put in park. PPS still indicates no passenger. Turn off ignition and restart car. PPS reads passenger in car and AirBag armed This is correct. Originally noticed on July 2, 2021, Repeated on July 9th. If both passengers start out in car system works correctly. If passenger enters after car is started and moved it doesn't recognize passenger presence unless ignition is recycled. Recall repair was performed 11 May 2018 at 13635 miles.

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.

PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPAIRED (NOT REPLACED) UNDER PREVIOUS NHTSA RECALL. HOWEVER THE SENSOR STILL DOES NOT ALWAYS FUNCTION PROPERLY AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATES "OFF" WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. THERE ARE NO FURTHER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS.

MY CAR LURCHES OR DOWNSHIFT WHILE NORMAL DRIVING. THIS CAUSES IT HARD TO CONTROL. PREVIOUS RECALLS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAVE BEEN FOR POWER TRAIN. HOWEVER MY VIN #DOESN'T QUALIFY. THIS IS A MISTAKE. I WAS HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING WHEN IT OCCURRED. NORMAL

I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM THE DOCTOR ON THE HIGHWAY AND A GIRL DIDN'T SEE OR STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. 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.

AIRBAG RECALL: A RECALL WAS ISSUED RELATED TO THE AIRBAG SENSORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE; THIS DEFECT DOES NOT ALLOW THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE A TWO SEAT VEHICLE; THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS NOT WORKING; THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED OVER A YEAR AGO WITH A STATUS OF "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE" - THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE; IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY, IT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING - THERE SHOULD BE A REMEDY AVAILABLE OR LOANER VEHICLES PROVIDED UNTIL THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE - WITH A TWO SEAT VEHICLE; THIS DOES NOT LEAVE MANY OPTIONS FOR THE OWNER

IT'S AT INTEGRITY GM OF CHATTANOOGA. THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE THE SWITCH RECALL AND WANT ME TO PAY$350 WIRING PROBLEM. HELP PLEASE.

I HAD MY SOLSTICE AIR BAG INDICATOR REPAIRED AT NEW SMYRNA BEACH CHEVROLET DEALER BACK ON 9/27/2016 (SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT, PAGE 1). I THEN RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH OF 2018 FOR THE SAME PART. I SUBMITTED A REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY SOLSTICE BACK TO THE DEALER TO VERIFY THEY REPLACED THE PART IN QUESTION FROM THE RECALL. I DID THAT ON 5/9/2018 (SEE PAGE 2 OF ATTACHED DOCUMENT). I WAS TOLD THAT ALL WAS IN ORDER AND I WOULD RECEIVE A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE $832.00 THAT I SPENT ON THE ORIGINAL REPAIR. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY MONEY. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS THE HOLD UP ON GETTING THE REIMBURSEMENT? NEW SMYRNA BEACH CHEVROLET CAN VERIFY ALL THIS. THE ADVISOR THERE WAS CHRISTINA BARRY (386-427-1313).

I TOOK MY SOLSTICE TO HIESTER CHEVROLET IN LILLINGTON, NC FOR NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V061 AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

THE BLOWER FAN DID NOT COME ON WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING. I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL, AND TURNED THE FAN TO THE OFF POSITION. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME OF ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE FAN. UPON HAVING IT INSPECTED AND REMOVED, IT HAD AN OBVIOUS BURNED AREA. WHEN I INVESTIGATED THE PART NUMBER, IT WAS APPARENT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME PART FOR HUMMERS AND CHEVY CANYON AND COLORADOS. THERE WAS NO RECALL OR INFORMATION REGARDING THE SAME PART FOR THE SOLSTICE. THE PART NUMBER IS OBSOLETE NOW BECAUSE OF THE REDESIGN OF THE PART FROM KNOWN FIRE DANGER OF THE PART. I FIND THIS HIGHLY NEGLIGENT OF GM TO NOT MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL/OR FREE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT. THE LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNS ME GREATLY, SINCE A FIRE WITH THIS PART HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. MY LIFE AND THOSE OF MY FAMILY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PUT IN DANGER BY GM'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. IF THERE WAS A FIRE WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE, THAT ENGULFED MY HOME AND FAMILY WHILE GM WAS AWARE OF THE DANGER,THE DAMAGES WOULD BE ASTRONOMICAL IN GRIEF AND FINANCIALLY. THE EVIDENCE OF THE MELTED PARTS CLEARLY IS PROOF OF THE FIRE PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. DEPENDING UPON THE RESPONSE TO MY SITUATION AND COMPLAINT, I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH OTHER AUTHORITIES, LEGAL AVENUES AND INFORMATION NETWORKS.
