2007 Pontiac Solstice electrical system problems

“The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac Solstice. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) and 17V061000 (AIR BAGS); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact verified that the key could be removed while the ignition was not in the "OFF" position. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times over the years, but the contact was informed that the parts were not available for the recall repairs. Recently, the dealer informed the contact that the parts would not be available, and the recall repairs would never be performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.”

“WHILE DRIVING TO MY SONS HOUSE, THE ENGINE STOPPED. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT FAR FROM THE HOUSE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST IN. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS UP TO DATE ON THE RECALLS. A MECHANIC CHECKED THE CAR. IT SEEMS THAT THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH IS FAULTY AS WELL”

“HEATER BLOWER MOTOR WIRING HARNESS IS MELTED AND GM KNOWS ABOUT THESE FIRE HAZARD'S THAT THREATEN THE LIVES OF OCCUPANTS. MY17 YR OLD DAUGHTER BABYSITS OUR 13 MONTH OLD NEPHEW. IT'S AT INTEGRITY GM OF CHATTANOOGA. THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE THE SWITCH RECALL AND WANT ME TO PAY$350 WIRING PROBLEM. HELP PLEASE.”

“THE BLOWER FAN DID NOT COME ON WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING. I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL, AND TURNED THE FAN TO THE OFF POSITION. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME OF ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE FAN. UPON HAVING IT INSPECTED AND REMOVED, IT HAD AN OBVIOUS BURNED AREA. WHEN I INVESTIGATED THE PART NUMBER, IT WAS APPARENT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME PART FOR HUMMERS AND CHEVY CANYON AND COLORADOS. THERE WAS NO RECALL OR INFORMATION REGARDING THE SAME PART FOR THE SOLSTICE. THE PART NUMBER IS OBSOLETE NOW BECAUSE OF THE REDESIGN OF THE PART FROM KNOWN FIRE DANGER OF THE PART. I FIND THIS HIGHLY NEGLIGENT OF GM TO NOT MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL/OR FREE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT. THE LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNS ME GREATLY, SINCE A FIRE WITH THIS PART HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. MY LIFE AND THOSE OF MY FAMILY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PUT IN DANGER BY GM'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. IF THERE WAS A FIRE WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE, THAT ENGULFED MY HOME AND FAMILY WHILE GM WAS AWARE OF THE DANGER,THE DAMAGES WOULD BE ASTRONOMICAL IN GRIEF AND FINANCIALLY. THE EVIDENCE OF THE MELTED PARTS CLEARLY IS PROOF OF THE FIRE PROBLEM…”
