2007 Pontiac Solstice Owner Comments

problem #1

Solstice 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 11,500 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac Solstice. While driving 40 mph on wet pavement, one wheel lost traction at 10 to 15 degrees uphill. When the other wheel regained traction, it pulled the A-frame apart. The contact stated that the A-frame is attached with two bolts. The attachment of the A-frame has a two inch slot with a 5/8 inch bolt, no locks, washers, or anything holding the A-frame section together. With a two inch slot and a 5/8 inch bolt, the steering capability will be nonexistent if the nut comes off of the bolt. If there is any torque involved, the energy that is introduced to the slot will rip out the A-frame section. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact has pictures and a police report was filed. The purchase date was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 11,500.
