“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”

“Received a recall on faulty ignition switch dated april 2014. Called a dealer to inquire on april 24, 2014. Was told that part would be ordered and we would be notified when available. Called 5/19/14 again to dealer, no part in yet. Called again july 3, 2014. Finally an appointment was set up for wed. July 9th (yesterday). I feel that is way too long to wait for what could be a life or death matter!”

“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. …”

“I recently took my 2007 Pontiac Solstice into a local GM dealership to have the ignition switch replaced. Within less of a month my vehicle'a engine light has came on, my car indicates that my gas cap is loose, an I am having issues with the transmission shift. When I purchased the vehicle I believe the car dealership knew of the issues prior and did not relay the information to me. My car is too dangerous to drive and I am unable to purchase a new vehicle. I may lose my job because a faulty car that was sold to me !”
