Hi ya'll...................... lol
I've been down in Florida for ten days. While watching the news heard of a recall, my Husband mention it to me!? Is it the leaking rear diff? Mine was fixed, but is it a different problem?

Thanks,

The recall is for the Pinion Seal leaks

Lots of information on the Solstice forum here:http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/s...64&postcount=1

I see that is is scheduled for Febraury 2008. Maybe that's why my service manager doesn't know anything about it yet ???????

He should! IIRC all dealerships were sent information about the upcoming recall.
edit:: Post #1 in the thread posted below has the info sent to ALL Pontiac and Saturn dealers http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/s...62&postcount=1

Here is another very informative thread that Small Dealer has started over on Solstice Forum. http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=41527

As a reminder - if your car develops a leak PRIOR to February .... DO NOT hesitate to take it in and have the dealer take a look at it. If it IS the pinion seal ... make sure that they order the KIT (seal, yoke and nut) and not just the seal (which has been discontinued).

Just got back from Florida yesterday ourselves, and Why is it so darn cold here in Oklahoma, AGH!
We made a decision while driving home, we are retiring and moving to Florida when we retire 4+ years from now! Now to agree on what part of the great state. I like Northern he likes way down South, I need to go in the heat of summer and see just how hot and humid it is South of Sarasota. Guess I need to make sure we move fairly close to a Saturn dealer,

a fast easy way to judge how hot it is in July - August ....

turn your oven on to 100* and stick your head in ... yea I know it sounds like I am trying to kill you ... but be smart enough to take your head out quickly after enjoining a hot summer day in Florida without air conditioning.

Now go get an ice tea and understand why air conditioning helped to make Florida and other hot climates liveable during very hot summer days.

Oven is dry heat don't I need some humidity to make it more real,
The whole time we were in Florida I never had to use hand cream or lotion but once back home my hands or about to crack and bleed, can my skin be more worn leather, AGH! My home was SO dry the cats spark when you pet them, kind of neat in the dark to watch the static glow!

I live in Southwest Florida and Ohio....in the summer there really isn't much difference between temperature and humidity...the last several years it has been warmer in Ohio than Florida....Cincinnati had like 59 days over 95 and about 7-8 over 100 degrees...South Florida has been usually about 90-92 in the day and 65-70 at night...great time and in the afternoon about 4 PM you leave the beach or pool because a small shower will fall for 20 minutes, and this is a great time to make a gin and tonic and watch the drizzle from the lanaii...BUT the winters are really nice in southwest Florida (except the last two days we had some cold weather pass through) The sun shines almost EVERY day and I really have to see the sun to make me feel great....PLUS a car like the Sky spends weeks at a time going topless....the weather is perfect.....My $.02

Well Tulsa,
eventually we will be making our home just west of Bradenton (Anna Maria, Holmes Beach area).........The weather on the Gulf is just what the Doctor ordered!!
