AIR BAGS
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

SEAT BELTS
PURCHASED USED 2009 SOLSTICE ON 9/30/13. PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS OWNER BUT MOSSY MOTORS, NEW ORLEANS,LA SAID MOST LIKELY MINOR PROBLEM. ANY TIME BRAKES ARE APPLIED OR MOVING 0 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON MANY TIMES INTERMITTENTLY, ALONG WITH THE RED WARNING SEATBELT LIGHT. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS DRIVER OR PASSENGER. I DO KNOW THAT PREVIOUS OWNER HAD SAME PROBLEM AS PER CAR FAX. I AM UNSURE IF MOSSY MOTORS IN NEW ORLEANS WILL FIX IT. SMALL CAR WITHOUT AIRBAG PROTECTION AND SEATBELT DEFAULT SPELLS FATALITY IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. GM SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS CAR AS THEY HAVE RECALLED SOME 300,000 FOR LIKE AIR BAG/SEATBELT DEFAULTS. THE INTERNET DISCUSSIONS FOR LIKE SOLSTICE PROBLEMS IS INCREDIBLY HIGH WITH REPAIR COSTS THAT ARE NOT AFFORDABLE. PLEASE DO AS YOUR WEB PAGE STATES AND INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
