2006 Pontiac Solstice Seats Problems

“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 $800.00. 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 ?”

“Passenger side airbag switch in seat stopped working only after two years, out of warrantee and will cost over $900.00 to replace. Drove solo for most of that time so why did it happen?”

Making this a $970 repair (diagnosis + parts + labor). …”

Gm needs to stand by this product which is a major safety concern and issue a recall on this vehicle and have the passenger presence sensor replaced..”
