2006 Pontiac Solstice Electrical Problems

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.

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.

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.

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/F62/HEATER-AC-BLOWER-STOPPED-WORKING-68002/ THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE H3 HUMMER FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE HUMMER AND PONTIACS USE THE SAME PART # FROM FACTORY. 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

Incident

Aug 1, 2014

VEHICLE WAS IN DEALERSHIP FOR IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WORK (RECALL 14063 AND 14113). WHEN VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME UPON COMPLETION OF THE WORK, THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES START, AND SOMETIMES NOT. I START WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR, CLUTCH DEPRESSED. THIS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE ISSUE, WHICH THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE HALL EFFECT DEVICES IN THE KEY HEAD. I AM AN EX GM ELECTRICAL ENGINEER - I UNDERSTAND NEUTRAL SAFETY. THIS IS NOT A CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION NEUTRAL SAFETY ISSUE, THIS IS A KEY SWITCH FAILURE TO ENGAGE CRANK ISSUE. THE OLD IGNITION SWITCH ALWAYS STARTED IN THIS CRANK CONFIGURATION. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE MY VEHICLE AT HOME, AND BOTH RECALL KEYS HAVE DEMONSTRATED A REFUSAL TO START THE CAR AT TIMES. TURN THE KEY, NO CRANK. GREAT, IF I DUMP THE CLUTCH AND STALL THE VEHICLE, I MAY BE IN A ROAD CONDITION THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND BE UNABLE TO START MY CAR. IT "COULD" BE A WALK HOME FAILURE PER THE TECHNICIANS COMMENTS IF I UNDERSTOOD HIM CORRECTLY. IN RETURNING "ONE" OF THE "TWO" SUPPLIED KEYS SO THEY COULD ORDER REPLACEMENTS, THE COMMENT WAS MADE THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE WITH HALL KEY HEADS BEFORE. EXCUSE ME, I WOULD THINK A "NO START" CONDITION IS A RECALL CONDITION -- YOU CAN GET SOMEONE HURT IN TRAFFIC. I WOULD ALSO THINK ALL KEY HEAD SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR PERFORMANCE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION IN SERVICE. HOW MANY OF THE RECALLED "FIXED" VEHICLES HAVE THESE UNSAFE KEYS IN CUSTOMERS HANDS? I CHALLENGE THIS SOLUTION AS A "FIX", AND QUESTION THE RECALL SOLUTION. *TR

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? *TR
