| 2007 | AIR BAGS | MY CAR SUDDENLY BRAKES HARD ON IT'S OWN AS I AM SLOWING AND GENTLY APPLYING BRAKES. IT STARTS AROUND 20 MPH. IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. TO HAVE YOUR CAR SLAM ON IT'S BRAKES ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE POWERTRAIN/TRANSMISSION CAN THROW ERROR CODES P0700 AND P2637 AND THAT CAN CAUSE THE SAME SUDDEN BRAKING OF THE CAR ON IT'S OWN. ALSO MY COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE(DIGITAL) INTERMITTENTLY GOES BLANK SHOWING ONLY THREE DASHES INSTEAD OF THE TEMP. WHEN IT DOES THIS MY AIR/HEAT WILL NOT WORK. MY PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. ALSO MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I ALSO HAVE A MYSTERIOUS COOLANT LEAK BUT IT'S INTERMITTENT AS WELL. *TR |
| 2009 | AIR BAGS | RECEIVED A "SERVICE AIR BAG" NOTICE ON THE DASH. IT IS NOT TRIGGERED EVERY TIME THE CAR RUNS BUT IN READING FORUMS TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN BIGGER ISSUE DATING BACK TO 2011. MORE AND MORE SOLSTICE AND SATURN SKY CAR OWNERS ARE ASKING THIS SAME QUESTION. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR CONTROL UNIT UNDER THE SEAT BUT THE FIX IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SEAT. ANY RECALL FOR THIS WOULD BE SAFER FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS AS WELL. THANK YOU *TR |
