2007 Pontiac Solstice Body and structure Problems

“My wife was driving down a straight road about a mile from our home and the road curved but the car didn't and she hit a sign then a pine tree that stopped her. There were no skid marks and the air bag did not deploy. She was hospitalized and the car was totaled. We never could figure out what happened until the ignition problem came to light. She never drove again and developed multiple infections until she died feb. 24,2013 at age 57. Not knowing the wreck was not her fault.”

“My car suddenly brakes hard on it's own as I am slowing and gently applying brakes. It starts around 20 MPH. It is very scary and dangerous. To have your car slam on it's brakes on it's own. I have heard that the powertrain/transmission can throw error codes p0700 and p2637 and that can cause the same sudden braking of the car on it's own.

I took the vehicle into the dealer (car is 2 months and garaged) and repair service could only clean rust off and lube. The following day the rust returned. The solution would have been to use a stainless steel snapping pin in the trunks receptacles where the peg comes down into contact. Gm currently has no recall and the dealer is putting the responsibility on GM and nor honoring my warranty. …”

“The Alloy wheels are pitted and the metal is peeling off. The hood does not line up with the fenders and the trunk does not line up with the fenders. I contacted GM and they wouldn't honor any warranty after it expired and wouldn't good will any of the issues. It is a 2007 with 8,376 miles.
