I TOOK OUR SOLSTICE TO A GM DEALER IN ALCOA, TN ON JULY 28, 2014 FOR THE IGNITION CYLINDER RECALL. THE IGNITION CYLINDER WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED THE DEALER HAD MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE MAXIMUM TILT UP POSITION. WHEN I MOVED THE STEERING WHEEL TO A MIDDLE TILT POSITION THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATED. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT AT THIS TIME. THIS WARNING HAD NEVER BEEN ACTIVATED BEFORE. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER ON AUGUST 7, 2014 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE PASSENGER PRESENCE AIR BAG CIRCUIT. THE MODULE WAS REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $852.29.

MY 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE, 4 CYLINDER, 2.0 ENGINE'S IS UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. MY SOLSTICE AND TONS OF OTHER SOLSTICE OWNERS ALONG WITH THE IGNITION RECALL...ARE ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG SAFETY LIGHT STAYING ON. GM NEEDS TO ADD THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE TO THEIR LISTS OF RECALLS TO OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR PASSENGERS/DRIVER IF INVOLVED IN A FRONT OF SIDE COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE CAR JERKED VERY HARD AND I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BACK WHEELS ALMOST LOCK UP. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS SUDDENLY THROWN INTO REVERSE & THE CAR WAS TRYING TO ADJUST. IT OCCURRED EVERY TIME I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN OR STOP WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. LUCKILY THE 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE WAS FAR ENOUGH BEHIND ME BUT HAD HE BEEN MUCH CLOSER, HE WOULD HAVE CRUSHED ME! WE JUST BOUGHT AN AUDI AND WERE GOING TO GIVE THE SOLSTICE TO OUR 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AS A GRADUATION PRESENT BUT NOW I AM TERRIFIED FOR HER TO DRIVE IT!! THIS COULD CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT AT ALL. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL SO I NEED TO CALL OUR LOCAL DEALER ASAP!! *TR

THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MOST IF NOT EVENTUALLY ALL PONTIAC SOLSTICES. THIS SUB STANDARD CRITICAL LIFE SAFETY PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN ON JULY 4, 2014, THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR PASSENGER WENT FROM ON TO OFF (THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT) AND A SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED DEALER TO CHECK ON THIS, ALREADY HAD AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR JULY 9TH TO REPLACE IGNITION SWITCH (RECALL). WERE TOLD THAT THE TWO INCIDENTS WERE NOT RELATED. RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT (AT DEALER) ON JULY 9, 2014 THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY MODULE FOR AIRBAG SYSTEM AND WOULD COST $750.00 TO REPLACE. THERE APPEAR TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AIRBAG ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT DON'T FEEL LIKE THERE IS ANY CHOICE! *TR
