Driving down the street with a passenger and service air bag light came on the dic. Took Solstice in to Buick, Pontiac, GMC dealer, for ignition recall and passenger airbag light diagnosed as a bad passenger pressence sensor. Estimated replacement charge of $850. Charged $120 for diagnosis. Searching online forums shows this is a common occurence due to a faulty designed seat sensor. Owners are paying for the replacement only for the part to break again. Making this a $970 repair (diagnosis + parts + labor). Please expedite a recall, because this makes this two seat convertible, a one person car! updated 10/9/2014

Purchased this car used 2/4/14 from a local reputably dealer.this 06 Solstice showed only 36998 miles and had a clean car fax report. Have driven the car only a couple of hundred miles due to the following. The few times that the vehicle has been driven there seems to be a grinding noise in the rear end only at low speed and only while turning, mostly parking lot speed.the car will grind and "violent snatch" as if something is binding or catching. The local mechanic says this is a defect in clutches of the rear end on these models (06) and that GM should have repaired it a long time ago.well, apparently mine was not.added the required GM additive to the rear, but car continues to grind.I have read many horror stories on line from other owners who have had there rear wheels" locking up "at speed and causing loss of control in these cars (.I am not about to let my wife ever drive this car again.) problem #(2) I thought was insignificant until I saw this car was recalled last week, and now my experience makes sense. Not only will these switches shut off during operating they will also unintentionally start due to weak detente in switch. ( no harm no foul )...so far....problem#3 my pass side airbag light on this car works about half the time. Meaning the pass side bag is active and operating about half the time.(my daughter has had her last ride as well) the real problem here is that I still owe 14000 on a car that looks great but can't be safely driven. This purchase is my first since bankruptcy 2 yrs ago, and it looks as if I will be giving it back to the finance company and will be out my 2000 dollars down payment. After purchasing this car I have researched and found these problems I am having, have been an ongoing for GM.why are they still out there being sold to the consumer" and to think I cheered when GM was bailed out!! blame goes to me for trusting GM"

I received a letter on the ignition switch recall and how important (bolded and underscored) that it was to contact the dealer and get the report completed. However the dealer won't take an appoint because the parts are not in. The thinks next week, but now he said I'd need another letter from GM before I can schedule an appointment. Also the GM guy won't schedule an appointment even if he has the parts in. If I want to schedule an appoint for a date next week I would have to purchase service -- like an oil change to secure that day/time. I called GM customer service specific to the recall and they said that parts should be at the deal in about a week and likely receive a second letter. So now that I've wasted an hour of time going thru all the steps the first letter asks, I'm going to be driving a "dangerous vehicle", until I get a letter -- regardless of the parts are in. But -- if I pay for additional service I will be granted an appointment.

When applying brakes, vehicle would come to a slamming stop jolting body and transmission to a complete stop then proceeding to normal driving mode until applying brakes again. Took my vehicle in to service 4 times for same repair. Codes P0013, P0014, P0700 & P2637 on diagnostic revealed all 4 times when service dept. Checked for issues. Also, powertrain differential in rear makes dragging noise since day one.

While routine driving of the car a tone indicates and the battery/electrical light comes on for a brief period of time. Manual indicates service is required. Dealer unable to duplicate the problem, yet it does it again as I drive home from the service call, and again the next time I drive the car.
