NHTSA complaint #11384260, filed 2020-12, 34,000 miles“I have a 2007 Solstice. 56,000 miles. Service airbag message and warning light are on. It first appeared on a very hot day and soon went off for about 5 minutes and then came back on. I began researching the problem only to find out that there are thousands of people experiencing the same problem. I hope no one dies riding with me.”
NHTSA complaint #10888933, filed 2016-07, 56,400 miles“This is a serious issue that's needs to be addressed, so many of the Solstice's and sky's are being affected by this. I for one don't want to have any of my passengers killed in a wreck because of the air bag. The passenger air bag sensor is over $800 to fix, this makes it hard on low income drivers to fix the issue, when it should be a GM recall in the first place.”
NHTSA complaint #10871627, filed 2016-05, 85,000 miles“I am not sure if I already reported this on your site. Several years ago, roughly 2011 with vehicle mileage probably around 20,000 miles the 'airbag' warning light came on, indicating that the airbag was inoperable. The light has stayed until this whole time and now the vehicle has just under 47,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10959144, filed 2017-03, 20,000 miles“There is a known issue with the passenger seat airbag sensor. My car only has 73,000 miles on it, and the passenger seat is seldom used. The sensor failed and now the passenger air bag is inoperative. A 20 pound laptop bag was all that was on the seat when this failure occurred. I can no longer carry a passenger in my car.”
