2008 Pontiac Solstice 2dr Convertible
turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual RWD
| 16 mi | Steering wheel audio controls stopped working. Parts replaced under GM warranty. |
| 13000 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. |
| 15000 mi US $550 |
A/C Hose Failure, diagnosed & replaced |
| 16500 mi | Airbag (Passenger Presence Sensor) Recall - "Temporary Fix" so the Passenger Airbag would function again. |
| 17100 mi US $213 |
Replaced original factory battery (10 years old, finally gave out) |
| 17800 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
| 31500 mi US $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! |
