| Pontiac Solstice in New Jersey, United States Mar 2014 - Jan 2022 | |||
| Jun 201413000 mi | NOT FIXED. The Passenger Presence Sensor in the Passenger seat failed; no airbag for passenger. The quote from the GM dealer was $900 to fix. We did not fix it yet - hoping a recall, as this part was recalled for Cadillac. | ||
| Aug 201615000 miUS $550 | A/C Hose Failure, diagnosed & replaced | ||
| Jun 201716500 mi | Parking Brake wasn't holding - cable apparently had stretched. | ||
| Jul 201716700 miUS $156 | Airbag (Passenger Presence Sensor) Recall - "Temporary Fix" so the Passenger Airbag would function again. Earlier visit to tighten the parking brake didn't fix it - had to do a full disassembly of the parking brake caliper and install. Seems to be fixed this time. | ||
| Feb 201817100 miUS $213 | Replaced original factory battery (10 years old, finally gave out) | ||
| Jul 201817800 mi | Safety - Final Recall to replace passenger seat presence sensor, which had failed several years ago, so that the air bags would work properly. | ||

2008 Pontiac Solstice 2dr Convertible
turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed automatic RWD
| Pontiac Solstice in Ohio, United States Dec 2012 - Aug 2013 | |||
| Jan 2013US $785 | Battery went down on a 4 year old summer car, not very good. Some body panels need removed to change it, so not an easy one. The heater would not work properly, needed a resistor added due to a design flaw. That had actually never ever worked on this car, yet would not be fixed under warranty! The cooling fan stopped working. The power train was under the warranty, but I had to negotiate hard for GM to accept to cover that one. I still have to pay $100 for the ECU diagnostic! | ||

| Dec 2014225000 miUS $600 | P0016 cam/crank correlation error due to timing chain stretch. Replaced cam timing chain, tensioner, guides | ||
