| I made a turn and as i was proceeding i had to slow down due to approaching a traffic signal . when i applied the brakes the car came to an aprupt , jolting stop and a big truck behind slammed on his brakes and narrowly stopped before hitting me in the rear. i will never drive this dangerous car until it is fixed. | |||

| I was driving my solstice on the high way at 55mph in the left lane. all of the sudden it seemed like the motor died i started to slow down at a rapid speed, down to 25mph in a blink of an eye. i stepped on the gas peddle again and the car started to shake and rattle it also was jolting forward. as i was pulling off the side of the high way the car again jumped forward causing me to clip the curb with the passenger side and scratch the door. it was only after i shut the car off and restarted it that any of the warning lights came on. i later found out that gm knew about a catastrophic catalytic converter failure back in 2009 and would fix it at no charge. why did they not make a recall and fix this at that time? after contacting them by telephone they say they will not repair the scratch on my car. how are they not at fault? if someone would have been behind me and crashed into me and killed me, would they have the same attitude? it was their part that fail, and yet i am stuck bailing them out once again. | |||

| After taking the vehicle in several times with an unusual noise at the rear of the vehicle, i was informed this vehicle had a faulty rear end and would need to be replaced. pontiac did issue a recall and installed a new rear end. the vehicle is now doing the same thing and appears to be getting worse but i have been informed by a gm dealership that it will not be replaced again. if it is faultly i do not understand why the recall would not apply to the second defective part. | |||
