My wife weighs 105 pounds and is 5 feet 5 inches tall, she is not heavy enough to turn on the passenger air bag. I went to royal Buick dealer in tucson Arizona to ask if they could make an adjustment, they said no that the bags are not armed for anyone under 100 pounds. I explained to them that she weighs 105 and they said they could not help me, I asked if they could turn it on permanently and they said they could not. So, she rides in this two passenger sports car, we are senior citizens with no small children ever riding, and she is uneasy because she does not have the protection of the passenger air bag. I think even 100 pounds is too high of a requirement, should be down to 70-80 pounds. My grand daughter rides with me also, she is 12, 5 feet 6 inches and weighs 85 pounds so she has no protection from the air bag either.

Passenger airbag sensor went bad. Leaves airbag disabled whether or not there is a passenger in the seat. Could be very dangerous and GM refuses to acknowledge responsibility for this very common problem.

I took our Solstice to a GM dealer in alcoa, tn on July 28, 2014 for the ignition cylinder recall. The ignition cylinder was replaced by the dealer. While driving home I noticed the dealer had move the steering wheel to the maximum tilt up position. When I moved the steering wheel to a middle tilt position the service airbag warning light activated. No one was in the passengers seat at this time. This warning had never been activated before. I returned the vehicle to the same dealer on August 7, 2014 and was informed that there was an open circuit in the passenger presence air bag circuit. The module was replaced at a cost to me of $852.29.

My 2007 Pontiac Solstice, 4 cylinder, 2.0 engine's is under the recall for the ignition switch. My Solstice and tons of other Solstice owners along with the ignition recall...are also having problems with the warning light for the airbag safety light staying on. GM needs to add the Pontiac Solstice to their lists of recalls to other GM vehicles having the same exact issue. This is dangerous for passengers/driver if involved in a front of side collision and the airbags will not deploy.

Had message service air bag come on. System showed passenger air bag off. Took vehicle to GM dealer. Inspection showed a defective passenger presence sensor, compromising both air bags. This would require a $800 repair.

Passenger seat cushion airbag sensor module or pps is defective and does not arm the passenger airbag with an adult in the passenger seat. Dealer estimate is $1000 to replace the seat cushion. This seems to be an issue with most if not eventually all Pontiac Solstices. This sub standard critical life safety part should be recalled and replaced.

While driving out of town on July 4, 2014, the airbag light for passenger went from on to off (there was a passenger in the seat) and a service airbag warning light came on. Called dealer to check on this, already had an appointment scheduled for July 9th to replace ignition switch (recall). Were told that the two incidents were not related. Received a phone call from the service department (at dealer) on July 9, 2014 that there was a faulty module for airbag system and would cost $750 to replace. There appear to be many complaints regarding this airbag issue. I don't feel we should have to pay for this safety issue but don't feel like there is any choice!

Service air bag light came on had it checked and was told that it is a faulty pps system I have had no wrecks and think this should be fixed by the dealer without charge as there is no reason for faulty airbag.

2007 Pontiac Solstice. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle air bag light and passenger seat issues. Consumer has another vehicle complaint in artemis. The consumer stated the passenger air bag light would not come on, when the seat was occupied. The dealer recommended the consumer have the air bag system replaced. On August 15, 2013, the consumer took the vehicle to another vehicle, where the passenger presence module was replaced. After the dealer, brought the vehicle from the service bay, the consumer had a passenger sit in the vehicle, and the air bag light would not come on. They had a GM representative weighing 145 pounds sit in the seat and it would come on periodically. But, one had to manipulate the key to have it come on. The dealer suggested the cushion be replaced.

Every time I start my car, I'm told my air bags need to be serviced. My dealer says it's going to cost almost $900 to fix. After some doing some research online, apparently I'm not the only one with this problem. The seat sensor mechanism is apparently defective and the cost to fix it is more than exorbitant. I'm also worried about putting myself and/or my passengers at risk because I don't have confirmedly information about whether or not the air bags are defective or not.

Service airbag warning stays illuminated, passenger airbag is not engaged when a passenger is in the seat. I have seen many cases reported by other customers. Very surprised that this is not on a recall list. Dealership states not a defect. Failure caused by water getting to the unit (ie coffee spill on passenger seat?). personally, I had no coffee spill, but dealership "detailed" my car two times. If this is so common, perhaps the unit should have been protected against water causing an important piece of equipment to malfunction. No doubt in my mind that this should result in a recall due to the air bag safety system intended to save lives commonly malfunctions. I have not driven my car for 2 months due to the fact I cannot get a sticker and it will cost $1,000 to fix at the dealership.

Premature failure of the passenger seat airbag sensor/control module. Seems to be a fairly wide-spread event that GM refuses to acknowledge in this make/model and affiliated cars (I.e. Saturn sky).

My wife was driving down a straight road about a mile from our home and the road curved but the car didn't and she hit a sign then a pine tree that stopped her. There were no skid marks and the air bag did not deploy. She was hospitalized and the car was totaled. We never could figure out what happened until the ignition problem came to light. She never drove again and developed multiple infections until she died Feb. 24,2013 at age 57. Not knowing the wreck was not her fault.

Service air bag message and air bag light are on. Passenger side air bag seat occupancy sensor is not detecting when someone is on the seat. System stop working for no reason. Wondering if this malfunction is a manufacturing defect of the sensor. This is a safety issue since air bags won't deploy in case of an accident.
