My car suddenly brakes hard on it's own as I am slowing and gently applying brakes. It starts around 20 mph. It is very scary and dangerous. To have your car slam on it's brakes on it's own. I have heard that the powertrain/transmission can throw error codes P0700 and P2637 and that can cause the same sudden braking of the car on it's own. Also my coolant temperature gauge(digital) intermittently goes blank showing only three dashes instead of the temp. When it does this my air/heat will not work. My passenger door handle broke off. Also my airbag warning light will not go off. I also have a mysterious coolant leak but it's intermittent as well.

Service passenger air bag lit up on display in dash at the same time passenger air bag light on dash went off and did not come back on I had dealer check this as the passenger air bag was now inoperative as I did not want my wife riding in this seat without it working properly. He informed me a sensor underneath the passenger seat was responsible for this failure. This seems to be a widespread problem as I have checked with several Solstice owners who have experienced same problems some with as low as 2300 miles on their vehicles thank you for your time.

In March of this year I purchased my second Pontiac. Today this vehicle displayed the same service message as my other Pontiac. The service air bag light has come on and stayed on. My other Pontiac has been coming on and off for months now, I can't afford the $750 it costs to replace the airbag on the first Pontiac is the main reason I still have the issues, but now my second Pontiac purchase is having the same error. This has to be an issue for more than just me. I do see that the air bag has already been recalled for my model but a different year. This appears to me to be more than one model issue. Thanks

Service airbag message displayed. I took it to a GM dealer and he told me the module was no good and needs to be replaced for $800. I believe with only 39000 miles GM should have a recall and pay for this repair.

Passenger airbag sensor indicates that it is "off" even when a passenger is present. Red airbag warning light is displayed on dash. After much research, there is an issue with the airbag sensor going out. This is apparently a costly repair that should not be on the shoulders of the owner! GM needs to issue a recall for the repair of this safety feature since it is so prevalent among Solstice owners. Is our safety not important?...

My passenger airbag light came on indicating the airbag wasn't working. Diagnostic tool showed that the airbag sensor may be bad.

The passenger presence air bag control module in my vehicle failed at just over 11K miles. Any passenger in the car faces added risk if an accident were to occur. The owner's cost to fix this item is prohibitive ($500 - $800), and that the early failure of this part is somewhat common for this vehicle.

Service airbag message appeared on lcd display, passenger airbag will not turn on when a passenger is in the seat. Because I was concerned with my daughters safety, I paid over $900 to have this repaired. This appears to be a common issue and should result in a recall due to its directly preventing the function of a crash safety system intended to save lives.

- Hernando , MS, USA

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac Solstice. The contact stated that when driving at various speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the air bag sensor would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 48,000.

Service airbag message appeared on lcd display, passenger airbag will not turn on when a passenger is in the seat. After researching this issue it seems that this sensor failure is a pervasive issue and should result in a recall due to its directly preventing the function of a crash safety system intended to save lives. If this system does not fall under federal guidelines for a necessary recall, GM should institute a good-conscience recall due to the prohibitive cost of replacement of this simple sensor (<$800).

Service air bag warning information light cam on. Brought to GM dealer said to be pas, seat sensor was bad out of warranty and to repair at a cost of $800 dollars I think this safety item should be gms concern.

- Ossining, NY, USA

The air bag sensor in my vehicle failed shortly (2 mos) after its 'bumper-to-bumper' warranty expired. Any passenger in the car faces added risk if an accident were to occur. It is my understanding that the owner's cost to fix this item is prohibitive ($500 - $800), and that the failure of this part is somewhat common for this vehicle brand.

The passenger sensor in my Pontiac Solstice went out on August 12th while there was a passenger in my vehicle. This has caused the passenger airbag system to longer function. It is a very costly and dangerous problem that seems to be happening to many Solstice owners.

The light is on about my safety air bag not working at all.

- Miami, FL, USA

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac Solstice. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the module for the air bag to the passenger seat needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 7,700 and the current mileage was 30,300.

Airbag light came on. Service air bag on the display. Contacted GM B0081 code. $900 to repair.

Passenger side air bag warning light came on indicating a defect in the passenger side air bag.

- Moodus, CT, USA

I noticed the air bag passenger light was illuminating off. There was an adult in the seat with a weight of 135 lbs. Also the dic displayed "service air bag". from what I gather on the internet, the problem is with the passenger seat module. The cost to fix this is over $600. I cannot pay this.

- Soddy Daisy, TN, USA

Vehicle shows "service air bag" after 42000 miles, 80% of which without a passenger. Passenger airbag off, while passenger in car. Never comes on. Will not pass inspection. Dealer says it is the passenger presence system, will not cover it, $1000+ repair.

Service air bag warning light began to illuminate. Checked manual and manual stated to see local dealer immediately. Immediately means to me that this is a major safety concern. Took to authorized Pontiac dealer. They diagnosed the following: Service air bag light is on scanned code B0081 code stored current check out performed diagnosis and pps system has no data pps has current codes 2036-1063 indicating failed pps module. $575.92 ptl to replace and program replaced pps system all in one assy with cushion wiring module, etc. Recalibrate system clear codes and recheck operation ok. So bottom line, like several other identical complaints filed the passenger side air bag sensor went bad. Inquired with authorized dealer if Pontiac would stand behind what is an apparent numerous owners of this type of vehicle make and year occurrence with the vehicle. Provided the complaints listed on this site. Authorized dealer simply told me the car was no longer under warranty and that nothing could be done. How many more 2007 Pontiac Solstice's with low mileage have to report this problem before a recall is obvious" this is not just a squeaky rattle this is safety. These cars are equipped with air bags for a reason. They are small compact two seaters. Without a properly working air bag it could be fatal for passenger in a collision. Because of the small size of the car it would not take a substantial collision for safety to be a an issue. Will it require someone being permanently injured or losing their life before a recall is required" I don't even know cars and I can read the posts on this site and know 2 + 2 does equal a manufacturer defect in the airbag system of these vehicles. Please initiate and make Pontiac do the right thing for their customers safety!
