| Peg and insert connection of convertible roof and trunk are rusting on interior. appears to be caused by alloys in contact without provocation of moisture. i took the vehicle into the dealer (car is 2 months and garaged) and repair service could only clean rust off and lube. the following day the rust returned. the solution would have been to use a stainless steel snapping pin in the trunks receptacles where the peg comes down into contact. gm currently has no recall and the dealer is putting the responsibility on gm and nor honoring my warranty. this is the first year for this model so bugs are to be expected, however no one is taking care of my car while they shrug their shoulders. ultimately, when these pins which are part of the trunk rust through (they are no thicker than a 3 penny nail) the rook will become detached from the trunk leading to possible injury. *tr | |||

| Tl*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. | |||
