Help! Steering Wheel Stuck! [and other complaints..]

Oh no! I think my Solsice may have some factory defects. The steering wheel on my shiny new Deep Sol won't move at all! Take a look at this pic if you don't believe me...



...it's almost as if the wheel is glued in place! You can also see some of the other problems I'm having in the above pic. The shifter appears stuck as well, and I have A/C knobs, but no vents! (very bad down here in FL).

I'm also having some problems finding where the top is stowed... I've opened every compartment I can on this thing, the trunk won't come open though...



My last complaint is ground clearance. I knew it was low, but not this low!



I can't even make the transition between tile and carpet!

Well, there is one thing I love about my Sol: We both have great taste in forums!



Ok, you caught me. I don't actually have a Solstice yet. As you can see, I'm going a little crazy waiting, I just ordered last week, so watch out... I might get worse!

Where did you get the Mysterious with sand and steel? That would look cool on my desk at work while the real thing is in the parking lot.

Feel free to PM me as I would not want someone editing about a non supporting vendor

That's not Mysterious, it's DEEP. I believe it's available on the Pontiac "Solstice Stuff" website.

I've got THREE Agressives and two of my steering wheels are also stuck!!!
But they go like hell when we hit the RC lever. And the wheels do turn w/o touching the steering wheel.

Yeah, I originally had ordered a Mysterious (real Sol), so when I found the Deep (mini Sol) in a gift shop (and no other color choices), it was as close as I was going to get(like the real thing, it does look very dark unless it is under bright light).

I was going to tell you,that you could open the glovebox and hit the button to open the trunk,but I guess it doesn,t open either.Oh well guess you,ll have to just wait for the real thing.
