repairs. Recently, the dealer informed the contact that the parts would not be available, and the recall repairs would never be performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
The electric system appears to be unsafe, the ignition doesn't turn over and drains the battery every day. I'm also worried about the airbags and other recalls on this car. I contacted the dealer "Dave Kirk Automotive" in Crossville, TN weeks ago. They took the vin # and looked up the recalls. This was a month ago. They said they would get the parts and call me. No one at the dealer has contacted me again. They know there are serious recalls on this vehicle. I need help on this. I'm 74, the car only has 39000 miles on it. This needs to be fixed at once.
There is an issue with all Saturn Sky's and Pontiac Solstice's that cause the wiring harness for the A/C FAN to melt, or even ignite. This is the same harness that was used on 2006-2010 Hummer H3 vehicles manufactured February 5, 2005, to May 24, 2010, and 2009-2010 Hummer H3T vehicles manufactured May 21, 2008, to May 24, 2010. This recall was never extended to Pontiac or Saturn. - If the blower motor connector module overheats, it can increase the risk of a fire. I've seen several reports of other owners dealing with this melted harness, and even a recently reported fire.
I purchased a 2006 Pontiac Solstice from a Lexus dealership in 2020. No known issues were discussed when I purchased the vehicle. The ignition switch turned off while I was driving around a curve which caused engine to stall, and my steering wheel to locked up preventing me from turning. I crashed into a guardrail at 60 mph and my car spun, hitting the back as well. The car is totaled. My airbag did NOT deploy in the crash, resulting in worsened injuries. Thankfully no other cars were involved, but the faulty...

ignition switch put my safety at risk. The car is available for inspection, and is currently in the hands of my insurance agency who has inspected and totaled it. I did not drive much, and had not experienced this issue prior with my car.
While driving to my sons house, the engine stopped. Fortunately I was not far from the house and was able to coast in. I was unable to restart the engine so I had the car towed to my house. I checked with the local gm dealer and was told that I was up to date on the recalls. A mechanic checked the car. It seems that the new ignition switch is faulty as well
When I apply the brakes to slow down or stop and the car gets to about 20mph the car suddenly brakes hard and jolts. If it were not for the seat belt one could go into the windshield. This happens with each braking. This is extremely dangerous. I see through research online that people have been reporting this issue with this car for years...Why isn't there a recall? What is the problem? This is a small car if a semi or just any moving vehicle was close behind me when this happens I and my passenger would...

probably be crushed. The two engine indicator lights go on and the low engine power light also goes on and stays on. The repair facility seems to be stumped. Someone must know what causes this because it is not an isolated problem that we are experiencing.
Heater blower motor wiring harness is melted and gm knows about these fire hazard's that threaten the lives of occupants. My17 yr old daughter babysits our 13 month old nephew. It's at integrity gm of chattanooga. They refuse to service the switch recall and want me to pay$350 wiring problem. Help please.
Service air bag due to faulty passenger system. Recall issued 7 months ago with no resolution yet. Air bag will not deploy for passenger in crash. Recall 17v-061 issued with no resolution.
The blower fan did not come on when I tried to use it with the air conditioning. I smelled a burning smell, and turned the fan to the off position. Fortunately, I was in the driveway at the time of attempting to turn on the fan. Upon having it inspected and removed, it had an obvious burned area. When I investigated the part number, it was apparent that there was a recall on the same part for hummers and chevy canyon and colorados. There was no recall or information regarding the same part for the solstice. The...

part number is obsolete now because of the redesign of the part from known fire danger of the part. I find this highly negligent of gm to not make this a mandatory recall/or free repair and replacement. The liability associated with this safety issue concerns me greatly, since a fire with this part has been a problem. My life and those of my family should not have been put in danger by gm's lack of responsibility. If there was a fire while parked in my garage, that engulfed my home and family while gm was aware of the danger,the damages would be astronomical in grief and financially. The evidence of the melted parts clearly is proof of the fire problem with this part. Depending upon the response to my situation and complaint, I will follow up with other authorities, legal avenues and information networks. Sincerely, [[redacted]] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr
Tire pressure monitoring. This spring I took my car out of storage and reconnected the battery. I first noticed the remote entry fobs no longer would lock or unlock the doors. I started the vehicle and found the tire pressure information was not available on the dash on 8/10/17, I took my solstice to the chevrolet dealer in omak wa to have them troubleshoot the tire pressure monitoring system. A quick review by a technician told me that the remote entry needed to be reprogrammed. After personal research I...

found that this is a common issue to this year and several other models. Gm wrote a technical service bulletin, 08-03-16-001b on july 31, 2008, acknowledging the issue of bad firmware but hid the information from their customers regarding this key safety system. It is my contention that gm did knowingly and willingly sell me a vehicle with known a faulty safety system and now refuses to correct the issue. I am asking the gm be held reasonable for their deceptive practice and provide all repairs required to correct the faulty safety system. I am also asking that I be reimbursed for all time and expenses incurred due to gms negligence. I also believe that due to gms deceptive practice of hiding known faulty safety systems fault should include punitive damages.
Passenger airbag sensor broken/defective. I started the car one morning and the "service air bag" came on. I took it to a mechanic, who said the seat sensor in the passenger seat is broken. He told me it was a common problem for this model, and advised me to file this complaint.
Blower motor resistor shorted out and melted and also melted the wiring harness as well. This occurred while driving down the highway. I smelled smoke and then seen it coming out from under the dash on passenger side. This seems to be a common problem see link.

Http://www.Solsticeforum.Com/forum/f11/new-recall-looming-blower-wiring-harness-115465/ these links outline many people that have the same issue as myself. I dont understand why gm knowingly uses same parts on various vehicles and only recalls one in specific. It is obvious there is a problem. I hope this will

Petition for nhtsa to commence proceedings for an investigation of the 2006 - 2010 pontiac solstice and the 2007 -2010 saturn sky, specifically the area of air bags electrical system (cd enclosed). *Smd the consumer stated the above mentioned vehicle had repeated failures of the passenger sensing system (pss) sensor mat. Over time, the mat will kink and fold with use and eventually a break will develop in the circuitry of the sensor mat causing a failure and possibly leading to the passenger air bag not deploying in the case of an accident. *Jb
