Burning smell + electrical issues = possible fire

Looks like you got it into service before any really bad things happened.

There have been a few people on the solstice forum that have had their cars go up in flames in similar situations.

Good Luck

well the Z needs to be inspected and heater core needs to be flushed for the heater to work, that crosses that car off the list......I am not riding the bike in 30 degree weather, go ahead and mark that one off as well......and Holly will have the truck .... but good news, went to drop it off today and the guy told me the lady didnt know what she was talking about. They are gonna get the parts in in the morning, gonna drop it off then and its possible I could have it back by Friday afternoon

SO i got my car back today.. UPDATE

Electrical problem didn't show up or mess up when they tried to do a diagnostic test.. BLAH this always happens, when u have a issue and u take it in, its like being sick and feeling okay when you get to the doctors..

Smell.. i ran over something that was burnin on my downpipe off engine.. they cleaned it off a little bit, the rest should burn off n a day or two..

Brakes.. new brake pads and cleaned rotors with some anti squeek stuff or something..

Rear Hatch.. adujsted it and something else.. but its not popping now or making noises

Passenger Seat.. the seam all the way across the butt pad came undone.. so they have me a new passenger seat on special order parts.. ill get it installed next week.

Recall Fix.. they found a recall on the hhr's top dash compartment.. they fixed that without even telling me. lol.

that about wraps it all up. glad to have my baby back
