While driving on smooth road at 55 miles per hour and no one in the passenger seat the airbag light came on along with "service airbag" message on info screen. Had a dealer scan codes and found passenger seat sensor bad. After googling it seems to be a common problem. The car only has 50,000 miles on it.

Takata recall I have a 2006 Pontiac Solstice that is not driven very much. I went on vacation and realized my passenger airbag light would not come on when some one seats in the passenger seat, the light stays off all the time. Now the airbag readiness light is flashing on and will not turn off, which means the airbags need to be serviced. What is wrong with these air bags and why are they not working properly?

Our Solstice now has a passenger seat seat bag sensor light on. We took it into the dealer and were informed this is a common problem. They promptly told us it would be over $1000 to fix. The car has been well maintained and only has 23,000 miles on it. This light remains on at all times. We were told that our air bag will not deploy. It is my understanding that even replacing the sensor may not be a permanent fix as the sensor goes out frequently. When are they going to recognize this problem" will it take a few deaths for the recall"

The passenger occupancy sensor has failed and has disabled my airbag system. The airbag warning light is lit on my dash board and a message appears on the dlc at startup. The passenger airbag (and possibly the driver airbag) are off for the duration of the drive regardless of passenger occupancy.

The service air bag light came on while driving down the road. I took the car to the dealer, they diagnosed a faulty passenger presence module. They said the passenger side air bag probably won't work in an accident. The repair estimate was over $800. This vehicle has only 33,598 miles on it. This is a huge safety issue and after reading numerous websites, there are a lot of other concerned owners out here. Can you please help get a safety recall for this problem ?

2006 Pontiac Solstice with 12,901 miles has failing passenger presence system fault (71), causing both airbags to be deactivated. Consider this a required safety device. Passenger seat rarely used, in a rarely used vehicle. Just had this replaced for safety purposes at a cost of over $800. Similar to *many* other airbag issues currently listed for Solstice/sky.

- Endicott, NY, USA

Airbag warning light came on for "airbag service" and passenger warning light for same. Had inspected $100 at local service station. Information given to me is that sensor under passenger seat is not working properly, and it will cost me $725 approx to have fixed. I've attached photo of the determination from the service station. Code B0081 - ABS is reflected why isn't this a recall? I thought safety items had to be repaired by the mfg. My car has 52000 miles only.

Passenger air bag not working, happened earlier and was repaired, happened after warranty and paid part of the cost was absorbed by warranty, after the ignition issue happened again this is a con tinuing problem with 2006 soltice many complaints should be investigated by NHTSA poor design under seat seems to be causing all the prob lem with the passenger air bag.

- Mentor, OH, USA

Passenger seat sensor failed. Passenger side air bag service warning light comes on. Passenger seat air bag will not deploy in a crash according to service manual

- Portland, MI, USA

My instrument panel is reading service passenger airbag is affecting me to be able to see my odometer reading, I have two Pontiac Solstice cars and they both have the same problem. I have friends with the same vehicle and they are getting the same reading on their cars, I don't know if the airbag is just going to go off on its own one day or not go off in an accident, this should be a recall issue.

The passenger airbag module stopped working in my 2006 Pontiac Solstice. There's only about 80,000 miles on the car. The dealership told me its not a recall item or covered repair item. Cost to replace $1,000. I called GM/Pontiac and told them that this should be a recall/covered safety repair especially since there are hundreds of complaints of this exact issue. They told me that there are not enough complaints to issue a recall and that they would not cover repairs or offer discount for replacement parts. My car has been sitting in the garage parked for over a year. It will not pass inspection until the airbag system is replaced. This is a safety issue!! this should be covered by the manufacture not the consumer. I'm still paying for a car I can't drive.... (date selected is approximate)

Takata recall I have reported this issue more then once and apparently no one cares because you have told me before not enough complaints and recall doesn't coverage passanger problem. For at least 3 years I have been complaining about a problem with passenger air bag and nothing has been done. I do live in Florida.

Passenger side airbag switch in seat stopped working only after two years, out of warrantee and will cost over $900 to replace. Drove solo for most of that time so why did it happen?

- Trumbull, CT, USA

Passenger air bag sensor failed. I see that there is an investigation so I thought I would add that mine has failed.

- Oviedo, FL, USA

Petition for NHTSA to commence proceedings for an investigation of the 2006 - 2010 Pontiac Solstice and the 2007 -2010 Saturn sky, specifically the area of air bags electrical system (cd enclosed). The consumer stated the above mentioned vehicle had repeated failures of the passenger sensing system (pss) sensor mat. Over time, the mat will kink and fold with use and eventually a break will develop in the circuitry of the sensor mat causing a failure and possibly leading to the passenger air bag not deploying in the case of an accident.
