Consumer Description

WHEN I GO TO SLOW DOWN EITHER BY COASTING OR LIGHT BRAKING WHEN MY CAR GETS TO ABOUT 20MPH IT FEELS LIKE IT SUDDENLY BRAKES OR DOWN SHIFTS BUT IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE SEAT BELT IT WOULD SEND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS INTO THE WINDSHIELD!! IT IS TERRIFYING!! I AM A MASTER MECHANIC AND I VERIFIED THAT IT WASN'T THE BRAKES GRABBING BY SHIFTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL BEFORE IT SLOWED TO 20 MPH AND WHEN YOU DO THAT THE CAR WILL NOT SUDDENLY JERK STOPPED. IT SETS MANY CODES TCM ETC. I HAD THE TCM REPLACED AND SYNCED AT DEALERSHIP BUT THE CAR IS STILL DOING IT. THE CODE NOW READS THAT "COMMUNICATION TO THE TCM IS LOST" I WAS TOLD BY GM WHEN SPEAKING TO THEM ABOUT THE LATEST RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT THEY SAID IT COULD BE RELATED BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AFFECTS THE CAR SHUTTING OFF, ROLLING AWAY AND THE AIRBAG INOPERATIVE LIGHT. MANY OTHER PONTIAC SOLSTICE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS GOING TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF NOT FIXED. PLEASE HELP. *TR
