Pontiac Solstice Power Train Driveline Differential Unit Safety Report | June 01, 2007
Reported on June 01, 2007
| I PURCHASED MY PONTIAC SOLSTICE IN NOVEMBER, 2005. SINCE THEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS GONE OUT TWICE (THE FIRST TIME APPROX. 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE) AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED ONCE FOR A LEAKING DIFF SEAL (SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT). IT WAS REPLACED TWICE SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED ONCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED I WILL BE LEFT HOLDING THE BAG FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM ON MY THIRD DIFF FOR THIS CAR AND HAVE MET OTHER SOLSTICE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IN FACT, I HAVE NOT MET A SOLSTICE OWNER WHO HASN'T HAD A DIFF PROBLEM. I THINK PONTIAC NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DIFF AND PROVIDE A RELIABLE ONE! (INCIDENT DATE PROVIDED IS A GUESS OF THE LAST REPLACEMENT.) *JB | |
