• 12/29/2023· SERVICE BRAKES

  Random failure of brake lights to either illuminate when the pedal is pressed or turn off when the pedal is released. On two separate occasions, a couple of months apart. I was notified by other drivers my brake lights appear to be working in reverse. When I come to a stop, they turn off when I pull away they turn on and stay on. After the first incident I had the vehicle serviced. They could not duplicate the problem. Apparently they were now working correctly. To be proactive. I asked them to replace the brake light switch with a genuine GM part. They did and they calibrated the switch to the car. This service was performed on 11/14/2023 - 144,621 miles. It appeared to have solved the problem initially. But re-surfaced this morning 12/29/2023. I was notified by another driver of the opposite on -off function again. I continued to work. Visual inspection indicated normal function again. Brake pedal released, lights off. Brake pedal depressed, lights on. Random malfunctions like this at some point will cause an accident, either at an intersection or on the highway. Especially in this age of "Distracted driving". Several similar instances have been reported by owners on the public forums. The consumer stated that they took the vehicle to their local GMC repair facility and the brake light switch was supposedly replaced. The issue still exists.

  WE PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 67 MILES ON IT, WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS OF DRIVING THE CAR WE NOTICED IF IT SAT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THAT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE AT INITIAL START UP. *TR WE WOULD PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE AND OR DRIVE PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD,YOU COULD NOT PUSH IT DOWN TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES AT ALL. WE HAVE HAD TO USE OUR EMERGENCY BRAKE NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER START UP TO ENSURE WHILE BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY THAT OUR CAR WOULD STOP. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES LETTING THEM KNOW THAT SOMETHING MAJOR IS WRONG WITH OUR BRAKING SYSTEM, THEY FINALLY ON DECEMBER 19TH REPLACED THE EBCM, BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE, WE STILL HAVE NO BRAKES AT START UP. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED. BRAKES IN MY EYES ARE AN IMPORTANT FEATURE ON A CAR. GM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. I AM ON A FORUM THAT HAS NUMEROUS 08'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. *TR

  PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED ON VEHICLE OUT OF NOWHERE. I DO NOT CARRY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR YET THE SENSOR FAILED ON ME. I AM NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT ACTUALLY SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN PONTIAC SOLSTICE'S AND IT'S SIMPLY DISHEARTENING TO SEE IT. HTTP://WWW.SOLSTICEFORUM.COM/FORUM/F12/PANSSENGER-AIRBAG-SENSOR-75353/ LOOK HOW FAR SOME OF US HAVE GONE TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. FROM WHAT WE'VE DISCOVERED THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND INSTEAD FORCES US TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT CUSHION OUT OF POCKET. TO MAKE MATTERS WORST THE POINT OF FAILURE SEEMS TO LIE WITH GM. A DEFECTIVE SENSOR DESIGN HAS CAUSED A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF SOLSTICE OWNERS TO HAVE ISSUES. I DON'T THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE TO MAKE US PAY UPWARDS OF $800 FOR REPAIRS ON SOMETHING THAT IS A COMMON FAILURE ON SO MANY OF THESE BEAUTIFUL CARS. *TR

• 11/23/2007· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  THIS COMPLAINT IS IDENTICAL TO ONE ALREADY FILED WITH THE NHTSA, REPRESENTING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE FROM A COLD START IN MY NEW PONTIAC SOLSTICE GXP DELIVERED ONLY ONE WEEK EARLIER (MILEAGE AT ONE WEEK=200), THE BRAKES FAILED WITH THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARD (FORTUNATELY WITHOUT POWER APPLIED DOWN A SLIGHTLY INCLINED DRIVEWAY. WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE, THE BRAKES RESPONDED. LATER IN THE DAY, FROM A COLD START, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN MOMENTARILY WHILE PULLING OUT IN DRIVE. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND DIAGNOSED A FAILURE OF THE VALVE IN THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER THAT ALLOWS PRESSURE TO BUILD UP IN THE HYDRAULIC LINES. THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AS A STAC ORDER. I WAS TOLD THAT NO SPARE PARTS HAVE YET BEEN STOCKED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. THE DEALERSHIP PUT ME IMMEDIATELY IN A RENTAL VEHICLE AT GM'S EXPENSE UNTIL THE PART COMES IN, WHICH COULD BE "2 DAYS, 2 WEEKS, OR 2 MONTHS" AS THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID. COULD THIS BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT PRESENT IN ALL BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS, PERHAPS OUTSOURCED, DELIVERED TO THE SOLSTICE GXP ASSEMBLY LINE IN DELAWARE? *TR

  AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER RECOMMENDED REPLACING PASSENGER PRESENT SENSOR WHICH DETECTS THE WEIGHT OF A PASSENGER TO TURN THE AIRBAG ON OR OFF. THE COST WAS $885. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT, SO I AM RIDING AROUND WITH NONOPERATIONAL AIRBAGS WITH A CAR WITH ONLY 34K. BASED ON PONTIAC SOLSTICE FORUMS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC SOLSTICE, BUT NO RECALL TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY FLAW.

  STATED MY 2008 SOLSTICE AND PROCEEDED TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CAR SITS OVERNIGHT. I MUST PRESS DOWN "HARD" ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AGAIN ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. THIS CONDITION WILL INJURE A PEDESTRIAN OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NOTHING IS BEING DONE BY GM TO CORRECT THE BRAKES. DEALER DID NOT EXPLAIN HOW BRAKES WORK. NO WARNING STICKER. *TR

• 11/12/2007· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  AFTER SITTING FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (3/4 HOURS) OR WHEN COLD THE BRAKES DO NOT WANT TO ENGAGE. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND YOU ARE TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES. HAD OUR CAR TO DEALER A FEW WEEKS AGO. WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THEY PRINTED OUT A BULLETIN THAT STATED THAT ALL 2008 SOLSTICE, SKYS, AND OPEL GTS ARE SUBJECT TO INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT DUE TO LOW BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM CONDITIONS. THE CONDITIONS MAY EXIST WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD FOR THE FIRST FEW BRAKE APPLICATIONS OR WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME OR AT HIGHER ALTITUDES AND RESTARTED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ADVISED BY GM TO NOT TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY PARTS FOR WHAT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL OPERATION. SOME OF THIS SAME INFORMATION IS BURIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OWNERS MANUAL. SUBSCRIBE TO A SOLSTICE FORUM SITE AND NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET HURT OR WORSE BEFORE GM IS FORCED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? UNLESS YOU SIT IN CAR WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TURNED ON. WITH COLD WEATHER BEGINNING ITS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. *TR

• 11/03/2014· SERVICE BRAKESCrash

  AFTER A HARD BRAKE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STOPPED FINE WITH THE ABS BRAKES KICKING IN AS NEEDED. HOWEVER, AFTER THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD, AND THE BRAKES WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION PROPERLY. AS IT CAME TIME TO STOP AGAIN, I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I THEN PROCEEDED TO ATTEMPT TO PUMP THE BRAKES, BUT BY THAT TIME, I WAS RIGHT UP ON THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND I REAR ENDED THAT VEHICLE RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO BOTH THAT CAR AND MINE. GIVEN THAT I ALWAYS HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES NOT SEEMING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AFTER THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT OR FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, I AM UNFORTUNATELY NOT SURPRISED THAT THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR SAT ALL DAY WHILE I WAS AT WORK ON A RELATIVELY COLD DAY FOR ME TO HAVE IT ON THE ROAD, AND I HADN'T USED THE BRAKES SINCE THE MORNING. JUST RECENTLY, THE ABS LIGHT HAD COME ON IN THE CAR, BUT AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS SOMEHOW RELATED TO THE BATTERY (WHICH I SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED) AND THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, BUT NOW I AM THINKING THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I OWN A 2008 PONTIAC SOLSTICE GXP AND HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. *TR

BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE CAR UNTIL THERE WAS CONSTANT "PUMPING" OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. 3) CAR BROUGHT IN TO DEALER AND DESCRIBED PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX.

• 10/19/2015· AIR BAGS

  I RECENTLY STARTED A RELATIONSHIP WHERE MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER HAS CHILDREN (ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO). I PREVIOUSLY DID NOT HAVE PASSENGERS VERY OFTEN. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY STEPCHILD AGE 12 IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH THE THERE WAS A CHIME FROM THE CAR AND THE DASH DISPLAY SAID 'SERVICE AIRBAG'. THE AIR DIC LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ACTIVATION LIGHT SWITCHED TO OFF. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS BAD. THIS CAUSES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO BE ALWAYS OFF, PUTTING ALL MY PASSENGERS AT RISK OR SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MY CAR ONLY HAS 56K MILES ON IT, BUT A BRIEF SEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2007 AND 2008 PONTIAC SOLSTICES -- OFTEN WITH MILES IN MID TO HIGH TWENTIES. THE FAILURE RATE OF THIS CRITICAL SYSTEM AND THE FACT IT DEFAULTS TO ALWAYS OFF WITH NO BYPASS FOR SELECTION PRESENTS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THE COST OF DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR IS JUST SHORT OF $1000, WHICH MEANS THAT A CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CARE THAT FAILS REGULARLY WITH LOW MILES AND IN MY CASE VERY LOW USE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE UNTIL RECENTLY WILL COST A MUCH MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD IN ORDER TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH AIR BAG SYSTEMS AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES.

  THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" INDICATOR IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER CAME ON DURING THE NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING AND HAS REMAINED ON CONSTANTLY SINCE THAT TIME, APPROXIMATELY 1 - 1.5 YRS. THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO ANY ACCIDENT. DIAGNOSIS USING ON OBD SCAN TOOL WAS COMPLETED BY A REPUTABLE LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SINCE, AT A MINIMUM, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH DUE TO THIS FAULTY SEAT SENSOR. FURTHER RESEARCH COMPLETED BY MYSELF INDICATES THIS FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR MAY BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND SATURN SKY. THIS IS A RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR ($800+) BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, AND THE ASSOCIATED REPAIR COSTS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS INOPERATIVE, APPARENTLY DUE TO A FAILED PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WAS APPROXIMATELY $1,000. THE CAR HAD FEWER THAN 13,000 MILES OF USE OVER SIX YEARS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE TO FAIL. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS COMPONENT HAS BEEN RECALLED BY GM ON OTHER VEHICLES.

  ON A TRIP 6/14/14 HALF WAY TO MY DESTINATION, THERE WAS A LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWING A CAR/LOCK SYMBOL. I CHECKED ALL DOORS, TRUNK AND HOOD, ALL WERE CLOSED. APPX. 10 MILES LATER I FELT THE POWER SUDDENLY STALL. THE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER AND GAS GAGE WERE ALL GOING UP AND DOWN. THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED A WARNING SIGNAL. ALL SYSTEM LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF. I PULLED OVER AND WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES. IN ABOUT ONE MINUTE THE LOCK SYMBOL CAME ON AGAIN. AS I PROCEEDED THE SAME GAUGES STARTED TO GO CRAZY. ON APPROACHING MY TURNOFF, I EASED OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL AND STARTED TO APPLY BRAKES. ABOUT MID-BRAKE, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY LOCKED AND I WAS JOLTED. THE FOLLOWING 2 STOPS WERE A REPEAT. I DROVE HOME NEXT DAY AT ABOUT 35 MPH. A NORMAL TRIP OF 2 1/2 HOURS TOOK OVER 4 BUT I WAS AFRAID OF HAVING THE BRAKES LOCK ON ME. THE LOCAL GM DEALER WAS CONTACTED FOR RECALL. IT TOOK FROM MID-JUNE TO SEPT. 12 FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND BE INSTALLED. THE TRIP HOME WAS UNEVENTFUL EXCEPT FOR THE KEY BEING VERY HARD TO TURN. ON 9/22 I HAD TO MAKE AN APPROX. 400 MILE TRIP. FEELING ASSURED THAT ALL PROBLEMS HAD BEEN FIXED, I DROVE THE NORMAL SPEED LIMIT. UPON REACHING MY FIRST DESTINATION THE BRAKE SEEMED TO STOP SHARPLY. BELIEVING THAT I WAS JUST OVERLY CONCERNED I CONTINUED TO MY 2ND DESTINATION. ABOUT 20 MILES LATER LOCK LIGHT TURNED ON FOLLOWED QUICKLY BY THE OTHER MONITORED SYSTEM LIGHTS FLASHING. THE BRAKES LOCKED AS SOON AS I APPLIED PRESSURE. I WAS UNABLE TO USE MY CELL OR ON-STAR. I WENT TO THE NEAREST GM DEALER IN PUEBLO. I HAD NO MONEY TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. I WAS TOLD BY THE SAME SERVICE AGENT THAT HAD CHANGED DEALERSHIPS THAT I WOULD BE SAFE AS LONG AS I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING "WILD". I MADE THE SAME 4 + HOUR TRIP. AS I REACHED MY HOME THE CAR WAS BREAKING BY ITSELF. REPLACING THE RECALLED PART DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. A RECALL ON THE RECALL? *TR

  THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR THAT DETERMINES WHETHER THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. CURRENTLY, THE LIGHT SIGNAL THAT INDICATES WHETHER THE AIR BAGS ARE ON OR OFF WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IS IN THE VEHICLE SHOWS THE AIR BAGS OFF WITH A PASSENGER PRESENT. I WOULD ASSUME THAT A SENSOR DETERMINES WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. AS A RESULT, IF THERE WAS AN IMPACT, THE AIR BAG FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NOT DEPLOY.

  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.

  DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO TAKATA RECALL OR NOT. I WANT TO KNOW HOW SAFE AM I DRIVING A 9 YEAR OLD CAR WITH NO AIR BAGS WORKING. CANNOT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE DEALERS SAY THEY CANNOT GET THE PART FROM GM. MEANWHILE I FEEL I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND A MESSAGE STATING CHECK AIRBAG SETTINGS. I ASSUME THIS WILL NOT GO AWAY UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I JUST HAVE TO HOPE THAT I DON'T HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
