The passenger seat airbag sensor stopped working. It no longer sensing when a passenger is present in the passenger seat. This seems like a very dangerous problem since the airbag will not deploy on passenger side in a crash. It seems to be a common problem that is well documented, I believe gm should order a recall.
2007 Pontiac Solstice seats complaints

This light has come on indicating no air bags. The vehicle was parked. I've taken it into the dealer for the recall on ignition switch and replacement keys. They charged me for the diagnosis of a defective passenger present sensor. The part will need to be ordered at a cost of $761 plus labor. My wife does not feel safe riding in the car now. Every solstice on the forum board reports this same problem.
Every time I start my car, I'm told my air bags need to be serviced. My dealer says it's going to cost almost $900 to fix. After some doing some research online, apparently I'm not the only one with this problem. The seat sensor mechanism is apparently defective and the cost to fix it is more than exorbitant. I'm also worried about putting myself and/or my passengers at risk because I don't have confirmedly information about whether or not the air bags are defective or not.
The service air bag light is illuminated on the dash panel the airbag sensor for the passenger side does not change from on to off. It always remains lit off. I have researched the issue and there are numerous complaints relating to the passenger side air bag seat sensor failing. The part alone is over $300 and to have a dealer repair is over $700. Regardless, this is a safety issue and is widespread on pontiac solstice and saturn sky models. Gm has yet to issue recall for this issue. What are they waiting for? This seems similar in nature to the current recall for the ignition switch where up to 300 people have died. The issue does not clear itself and is always on the dash panel warning system.
Service air bag light text appeared in dic on with child in seat after starting car. Now passenger air bag off lamp on with adult seat belted in seat.
I had a passenger sit in my pontiac solstice and the air bag sensor started flashing on and off. The suddenly it stayed on and gave me a warning light. This is very dangerous because now all my passengers do not have a functioning air bag. *tr I have seen countless owners on the solstice forums also have the same issue.
Airbag seat sensor fails to activate airbag and airbag warning light remains on indefinitely whether passenger is in passenger seat or not. Replacement cost nearly $900.
Airbag light came on. Service air bag on the display. Contacted gm b0081 code. $900 to repair.
