2009 Pontiac Solstice problems

“The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac Solstice. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact called the dealer, and the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that an electrical sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.”

“SERVICE AIR BAG NOTICE DISPLAYED, RED AIR BAD WARNING IDIOT LIGHT ON AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS OFF EVEN THOUGH A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. TRIED POWERING THE CAR OFF AND ON WITH SAME RESULT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IS THE PASSENGER IS NOT PROTECTED WHILE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCE READ THAT MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE HAVE BEEN REPORTED AND NO SAFETY RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED.”

“ALMOST 36K MILES AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH A PARTNER (ADULT OVER 150 LBS) AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TURNED OFF, I WENT OUT OF THE HIGHWAY FOR HIS SAFETY AND DRIVE SLOWER OUR WAY BACK TO WORK, BUT SUDDENDLY HE KIND OF ACCOMODATE HIMSELF ON THE SEAT AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT DISAPPERED, SO I ASKED HIM TO MOVE/CHANGE HIS SITTING POSITION ON THE SEAT AND THIS WAY THE LIGHT RETURNED AND THEN DISAPPEARD WHEN HE CHANGED RANDOMLY HIS WEIGHT OVER THE SEAT. RIGHT NOW THE LIGHT IS PERMANENT ON MY DASHBOARD NO MARE THER IS NO WEIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIT OR SOMEONE OVER 150 POUNDS SITS AND CHANGES SITTING POSITION. MY CAR ATTENDED THE RECALL 17036 AUG 2018 AT THAT TIME THE PROBLEM WAS NOT PRESENT ON MY PPS SO THEY PROCEED TO MAKE THE REINFORCEMENT, BUT NOW IT APPEARED THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME THE DIAGNOSTIC AND IF THE PPS IS THE FAILURE (AS IT SEEMS TO BE); THE PPS COST, AS IS OVER A YEAR SINCE THE RECALL WAS ATTENDED AND THE PART IS OUT OF WARRANTY.”

“REAR DIFF HAS LEAK AFTER 22000 MILES THE SAME AS THE 06/07'S. CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. *TR”

“PURCHASED USED 2009 SOLSTICE ON 9/30/13. PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS OWNER BUT MOSSY MOTORS, NEW ORLEANS,LA SAID MOST LIKELY MINOR PROBLEM. ANY TIME BRAKES ARE APPLIED OR MOVING 0 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON MANY TIMES INTERMITTENTLY, ALONG WITH THE RED WARNING SEATBELT LIGHT. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS DRIVER OR PASSENGER. I DO KNOW THAT PREVIOUS OWNER HAD SAME PROBLEM AS PER CAR FAX. I AM UNSURE IF MOSSY MOTORS IN NEW ORLEANS WILL FIX IT. SMALL CAR WITHOUT AIRBAG PROTECTION AND SEATBELT DEFAULT SPELLS FATALITY IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. GM SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS CAR AS THEY HAVE RECALLED SOME 300,000 FOR LIKE AIR BAG/SEATBELT DEFAULTS. THE INTERNET DISCUSSIONS FOR LIKE SOLSTICE PROBLEMS IS INCREDIBLY HIGH WITH REPAIR COSTS THAT ARE NOT AFFORDABLE. PLEASE DO AS YOUR WEB PAGE STATES AND INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR”
