Vin #943 finally got the pinion seal leak. It is the only problem that I have ever had with the car.
Had it replaced last week, just under 2200 miles for me. I do recognize that the interior quality could be better, but it is not impossible to keep like new.
As someone who is truly obsessive about their car, I can attest that it is possible to keep it in perfect condition as long as you don't do things like put sharp metal signs in the passenger seat!
My car is 1 year old this week, and is factory perfect in every way. (Well, except for the small ding in the back where I was rear ended, but there was very little I could do about that one... )
1. It's really not meaningful if you don't standardize for mileage. Someone with 1500 miles on the car could vote "no problems" and walk out tomorrow and find a puddle under the rear end.
2. There's no "other" category. I haven't had any of the problems listed (yet) but I can point to some very specific quality problems I've found, like the dented exhaust pipe and the missing screw on the heat shield and the foam rubber cubes coming unglued and the wear marks on the top caused by the "feet" on the trunk lid that hold the top down and the foam rubber pads on these feet which had to be reglued and which are now wearing out.... You can argue about whether the car should have more power or the transmission should be quieter--these are just "is that all you get for your money" issues--but missing and damaged parts and parts that consistently fall off are real quality issues. So I can't truthfully choose ANY of the available statements!
Has anyone else out there had problems with their cruise control not working? Ours has been in the shop once already, not working again the next day. Intermittent use, one day works, next no cruise engagement.
Nearly one year old [Oct. 22] - 6000+ miles. Pinion seal at 3000 miles. No other complaints. Added ECM tune, CAI, Magnaflow duals and am generally pleased with the performance. Sure, I'd like 300+ H.P., but at this price I'm satisfied for the time being. Absolutely LOVE the looks [both the styling and the attention it gets]. What really makes my day,though, is the exclusivity; in eleven months, other than planned meets, I've encountered only two other solstices on the road.
Sorry to say that I originally answered no problems, but recently on my thorough detailing this weekend I found a paint discoloration on the hood. Took it to the dealer today and sure enough a factory paint problem, so it goes in next Wednesday to have the hood repainted.

WHERE DID YOU FINED THE PERFORMANCE PARTS TO ADD TO THE SOLSTICE? THANKS TNUGGET97
We Have Had Our Solstice For 4 Months Now, We Have 5000 Miles On It And No Real Problems, How Ever The Air Conditioner Is Really Noisy, Other Then That It Has Been Really Fun And Is A Eye Catcher.vin#6y120063
You didn't have a category for this one.
I had a fuel injector sensor that was shorting to the engine.
The check engine light kept coming on.
Took 3 visits to the dealership to find, but we got it.
14,000 miles on the aggressive with steel/sand interior and it is still turning heads.
Is it possible to divide these pole results up by year of car? I would be interested in seeing if the '07 model does better than the '06, indicating that GM is on the ball with ironing out first-year bugs.

That would require another thread and poll. Just copy and paste the questions above and set up the poll to allow for multiple selections, and for respondant names to be shown on the poll. Go for it! It might prove to be an interesting comparison.

1-I am all thumbs on a computer. Can somebody who will take less than a week to set this up do it?
2-To do it right, if possible, there would have to be a way to keep track of both polls in one place so one could see if the same problems are occuring at the same rate.
