2007 Pontiac Solstice Complaint Log

SERVICE AIR BAG ERROR LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER READING SOME THREADS IN FORUMS, I SAW THAT A LOT OF OWNERS OF THIS MODEL WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. TO REPLACE THE "SDM MODULE" WILL COST OVER $500, SO MY CAR WILL BE WITHOUT AND AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING IN WEATHER OVER 90 DEGREES FOR MORE 30 MINUTES, AN OVERPOWERING GASOLINE ODOR WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUFFERED DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA BECAUSE OF THE ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CARBON FILTER WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO REPAIR THE DEFECT BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE MANUFACTURER REQUESTED TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE FROM THE CONTACT BECAUSE THE DEFECT WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. THE CONTACT REFUSED THE OFFER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3000.

TAKATA RECALL: AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER PUT IN A TEMP FIX AND THE LIGHT IS OFF, BUT THEY TOLD ME A NEW FIX IS COMING FROM GM. I DRIVE BY MYSELF 90% OF THE TIME BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE THEY COULD BE INJURED.

THE LIGHT IS ON ABOUT MY SAFETY AIR BAG NOT WORKING AT ALL. *TR

TL* 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.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. I HAD NOTICED THE LIGHT/SENSOR NOT COMING ON TWICE BEFORE WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT AND IT SHOULD HAVE ENGAGED THE AIRBAG SENSORS. NO INCIDENTS, NO TRAUMA TO THE CAR NOTHING. IT JUST STOPPED. NOW IT NEVER COMES ON AND THERE IS A WARNING MESSAGE ON THE DASH HUD. I'VE READ A LOT OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND MALFUNCTIONS WITH PASSENGER AIRBAGS ON OTHER SOLSTICES AND SATURN SKY CARS SO I KNOW THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED EVENT. CURRENTLY AT 65K MILES AND A MECHANIC MENTIONED TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM MIGHT ALSO CAUSE MY DRIVER AIRBAG NOT TO DEPLOY. I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO RIDES IN MY CAR SO THIS DIDN'T AFFECT ME UNTIL I HEARD THIS. *TR

PASSENGER ACTIVATED INSTRUMENT PANEL ICON "SERVICE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG." TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE #1924219 FOR $362.47 (OUR HALF) GM PICKED UP THE OTHER HALF. AGAIN ON 5/27/2015, 33,612 MILES SAME CONDITION OCCURRED. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME THE SAME MODULE COSTS US $1,02 9.21. GM FEELS NOT THEIR PROBLEM? THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE AND RARELY IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT! THE DEALER CANNOT TELL US IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON? CAN YOU TELL US IF GM HAS A DEFECTIVE MODULE PROBLEM?

PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR FAULTY. *TR

1-"SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT STAYS ON, PROBALY MEANING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. 2-NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

OWN A 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE GXP. FOR SOME TIME THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT HAS FAILED TO CHANGE WHEN AN ADULT SITS IN PASSENGER SEAT, SINCE APPROX 15,000 KMS. NOW THE DISPLAY PANEL READS "SERVICE AIRBAGS", SINCE APPROX 55,000 KMS. I TOOK IT INTO GM, WHO ADVISED THAT I NEED A SDM MODULE. I AM EXTREMELY SURPRISED. THIS IS AN ABNORMAL SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, THROUGH RESEARCH, APPEARS TO BE A COMMON CLASS ISSUE WITH THE SOLSTICE, THIS BEGS FOR GM TO LEAN FWD WITH VOLUNTARY RECALL BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST AS A RESULT, OR BEFORE IT GROWS TO AN EXTENT AKIN TO WHAT TOYOTA RECENTLY EXPERIENCED WITH LACK OF FWD THINKING & PROACTIVE DUE DILIGENCE. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A FEW YEARS AGO. IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE PASSENGER PRESENCE DETECTION SENSOR BAD. I DECIDED NOT TO DO THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE OVER $800. TODAY, I STUMBLED ACROSS QUITE A FEW FORUM POSTS WITH OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND SATURN SKYS. THERE WAS EVEN A MEDIA COVERAGE ABOUT IT IN TN. HTTP://WWW.KCTV5.COM/STORY/24037545/DEVICES-TRIGGERING-PASSENGER-AIR-BAGS-REPEATEDLY-RECALLED?AUTOSTART=TRUE&TOPVIDEOCATNO=DEFAULT&CLIPID=9559298 I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. GM HAS RECALLED OTHER MAKES AND MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT BECAUSE THE SOLSTICE AND SKY ARE LOW PRODUCTION THEY DO NOT MAKE IT ON THEIR RADAR FOR RESEARCHING IF THE RECALL SHOULD BE MADE. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY OTHERS LIKE ME WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH IT BECAUSE THE COST IS TOO HIGH TO REPAIR. *TR

HANDBRAKE ALWAYS LOOSE AND THEREFORE NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL. DEALER CAN NOT TIGHTEN IT. *TR

THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE LOCATED IN PASSENGER SEAT FAILED. THIS CAUSES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO BE TURNED OFF. FAILURE WAS AT 17000 MILES. GM REPLACED THE MODULE UNDER THE GM GOODWILL PROGRAM. NO COST TO ME. THE REPLACEMENT MODULE HAS FAILED AFTER ONLY 13000 MILES. THIS TIME GM SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO COVER REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILED PART. REPLACEMENT COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR IS 700.00

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHENEVER THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,682.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OCS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MISCLASSIFIED A 125 LBS. ADULT AS A CHILD.

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 6,300. UPDATED 05/26/09 *BF UPDATED 05/28/09.*JB

2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. ENGINE LIGHTS COMES ON AFTER MISFIRES, DEALERS REPLACED SPARK PLUGS STATING THEY WERE FAULTY (@APROX 18K MILES), THIS HAPPENS AGAIN 6K MILES LATER. DEALER INSTRUCTING THERE IS NO ISSUE, I SHOULD NOT USE THE SAME GAS STATION EVERY FILL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR WILL MISFIRE AT A TIME THAT WILL LEAVE ME IN THE PATH OF OTHER CARS, UNABLE TO MOVE QUICK ENOUGH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND SUDDENLY HAD A FLAT WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENT FOR 6 WEEKS WITH VEHICLE. WHEN HAVING AUTO DEALER INSPECT THE FAULTY TIRE THE DEALER SAW SIDEWALL DAMAGE THAT REFLECTED SERIOUS FLAW/DEFECT ON SEVERAL OF THE GOODYEAR EAGLE P245/R4518 TIRES. WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO A GOODYEAR DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID THAT GOODYEAR AKRON, OHIO REFUSED TO EXCHANGE TIRES. BUT WOULD ACCEPT PRORATION ON TIRES THAT GOODYEAR DEALER CONFORMED TO BE DEFECTED TIRES. GOODYEAR DEALER SAID THAT GOODYEAR HAD SAME SIZE AND MODEL TIRES AS A RECALL ON A DIFFERENT AUTO RECENTLY. *TR

The Alloy wheels are pitted and the metal is peeling off. The hood does not line up with the fenders and the trunk does not line up with the fenders. I contacted GM and they wouldn't honor any warranty after it expired and wouldn't good will any of the issues. It is a 2007 with 8,376 miles. The car is not safe due to the body parts rattling and shaking and the wheels are so pitted that

I WAS DRIVING ON I-10 GOING EAST. I ENTERED THE FREEWAY AT THE 3RD ST RAMP. FROM THE POLICE REPORT, I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES, MY CAR TURNED FACING SIDEWAYS AND WAS HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN I WAS HIT I WENT UNDER THE SEMI AND SLAMMED THE EMBANKMENT AND MY CAR WENT BACK UNDER THE SEMI AND FACED ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD A COLLAPSED LUNG, BROKEN RIBS, AND WAS UNCONSCIOUS FOR 3 DAYS. I HAVE MEMORY LOSS AND LACK OF SOME EMOTIONAL FEELINGS. I DID MOVE AND DID NOT HAVING FORWARDING ADDRESS AND THUS NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I DID HAVE A KEY CHAIN I CARRIED WITH SEVERAL KEYS ON IT. THERE WERE MORE THAN 3 PARTS THAT WERE AFFECTED. THE CAR WAS MARKED AS TOTALED.

EXTREMELY HARD DOWNSHIFTS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. SO SEVERE THE TIRES SLID AS YOU COME TO A STOP. THIS IS A 2007, 2.4L 4CYL PONTIAC SOLSTICE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MIL LAMP IS ON WITH A P2637 CODE SET. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ALL DOWNSHIFTS ARE HARSH WHEN COMING TO A STOP. UPSHIFTS ARE QUICK AND HARSH ALSO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. ONCE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISENGAGED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 2,000.

TRANSMISSION LOCKING. SETTING DTC CODES P2637 AND P0700, POTENTIAL FOR REAR END COLLISION DUE TO LOCKUPS ON SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP. FEELS AS IF CAR IS BRAKING HARD WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ACTIVATED TO ANNOUNCE THAT DRIVER IS STOPPING. *TR

PEG AND INSERT CONNECTION OF CONVERTIBLE ROOF AND TRUNK ARE RUSTING ON INTERIOR. APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY ALLOYS IN CONTACT WITHOUT PROVOCATION OF MOISTURE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER (CAR IS 2 MONTHS AND GARAGED) AND REPAIR SERVICE COULD ONLY CLEAN RUST OFF AND LUBE. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE RUST RETURNED. THE SOLUTION WOULD HAVE BEEN TO USE A STAINLESS STEEL SNAPPING PIN IN THE TRUNKS RECEPTACLES WHERE THE PEG COMES DOWN INTO CONTACT. GM CURRENTLY HAS NO RECALL AND THE DEALER IS PUTTING THE RESPONSIBILITY ON GM AND NOR HONORING MY WARRANTY. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THIS MODEL SO BUGS ARE TO BE EXPECTED, HOWEVER NO ONE IS TAKING CARE OF MY CAR WHILE THEY SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS. ULTIMATELY, WHEN THESE PINS WHICH ARE PART OF THE TRUNK RUST THROUGH (THEY ARE NO THICKER THAN A 3 PENNY NAIL) THE ROOK WILL BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRUNK LEADING TO POSSIBLE INJURY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY PONTIAC 2007 SOLSTICE THIS PAST SUMMER "NEW" FROM PAUL BENTON PONTIAC IN OAK RIDGE TN. I LOVE MY CAR BUT, EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT HAS HAD VIBRATION PROBLEMS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BECAUSE THE TOP WOULD MAKE A SCRAPPING NOISES WHILE DRIVING. WELL THE NOISE COMES AND GOES, I TOOK MY CAR TODAY AND HAD THE SAFETY RECALL DONE. THEY REPLACED THE REAL PINION SEAL, THEY JUST REPLACED ONE SEAL. IS IT JUST ONE SEAL OR DO THEY NEED TO REPLACE MORE BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THE SERVICE COUNTER INFORMED ME THAT MY BACK R/R AND L/R WHEELS ARE BENT. THEY BALANCED THE TIRES BUT IT NOW THE VIBRATION IS WORSE THAN BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE PART. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE THE STEERING IS LOOSE IN IT, IT WAS TIGHT AND NOW THE WHEEL TURNS BUT THE WHEELS TAKE A WHILE TO CATCH UP. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT MORE THAN HALF THE TIME. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANGER IF HE COULD FIX IT BUT HE SAID THE ONLY THING COVERED UNDER THE RECALL WAS THE PART AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT WAS WRONG WITH IT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS FAR CONSIDERING I PAID ALMOST 30,000 FOR THIS CAR HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN A YEAR AND NO FAULT OF MY OWN IT IS HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILS TO ENGAGE OCCASIONALLY WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. MY WIFE WEIGHS 115 LBS, 5FT 2 IN AND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE SYSTEM HAS NOT ENGAGED.

CRACKED REAR AXLE AFTER OWNING VECHILE FOR 2 WEEKS. *TR

Had a recall for the airbags a few years ago. I got it "fixed" at that time but soon after getting it done, the "check airbags" light came back on. I've been chancing it each time I get behind the wheel because of the hassle I went through with dealing with the recall. The first GM location I went to wanted to charge me. The second GM location that "fixed" the airbag was over an hour away so I had to inconvenience someone to go back and forth with me to drop off and pick up the car days later. Then as mentioned, soon after the "repair", the light was back on so I believe they just put a band-aid on the problem but didnt really fix it. Now after coming very close to a collision, I want to get this repaired but do not feel I should pay for it. This is a safety concern and reading through the complaints, it appears many are having the same reoccurring issue. Car only has 55,000 miles.
