IGNITION SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING, SPEED SLOW OR FAST. USUALLY RESTARTS AFTER TURNING OFF IGNITION, NOT ALWAYS. INFO CENTER DISPLAYS "SECURITY" OR "SERVICE TRACTION SOON". IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED 2X. DT

WE WERE IN A COLLISION (NOT AT FAULT) IN WHICH WE HIT HEAD ON AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS INFLATED. THE VEHICLE HAD MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE AND WE ARE WAITING IF IT IS REPAIRABLE OR WILL BE TOTALED. SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, WE HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS CHECKED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE MAJOR INJURIES, BUT DO FEEL THE INJURIES WE DID RECEIVE WOULD HAVE NOT HAPPENED IF THE AIRBAGS HAD WORKED PROPERLY. MANY OF THE EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT WERE SHOCKED THAT IN SUCH A COLLISION THE AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE. WE FEEL THERE MUST BE SOME TYPE OF DEFECT WITH THE AIR BAGS. DT

VEHICLE WILL STALL AT ANY SPEED WITH CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALERSHIP HAS MADE CHANGES/REPAIRS WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY REOCCUR FROM WEEKS TO SIX MONTHS. STALLING STARTED AT 7,000 MILES. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *AK

VEHICLE WAS MOVING 5MPH WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING NOISE. VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHOOK, AND THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE COLLAPSED. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS REAR AXLE BRACKET SNAPPING DUE TO STRESS. *AK *JG

AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THIS INDICATES THAT AIR BAGS WILL BE INOPERATIVE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALER CONTACTED, CANNOT FIX PROBLEM.*AK THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR THE SAME REPAIR APPROXIMATELY EIGHT OR NINE TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE EVERYTHING PER GENERAL MOTORS. THIS VEHICLE WAS A PROGRAM VEHICLE. THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT 4000 MILES WITH THE GM OWNER BEFROE IT WAS SOLD TO THE CONSUMER. *JG

WE HAVE REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MFR. THAT WHEN OUR TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE, OUR VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARD EVEN IF ONLY ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. IT ALSO ROLLS FORWARD WHEN IN REVERSE. WHEN THE INCLINE IS STEEP, YOU ARE FIGHTING TO KEEP GOING IN THE DIRECTION THE TRANSMISSION IS IN GEAR. IT IS AS IF WE HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH A CLUTCH. IT IS DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE IS IN FRONT OF US WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO BACK UP OR VICE VERSA. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. I HAVE TEST DRIVEN OTHER MANUFACTURER'S VANS AND IT NEVER HAPPENS. I KEEP BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND IT IS HOW THE VEHICLE IS ENGINEERED TO CONSERVE FUEL. IT IS A HAZARD THAT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET FIXED.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT TOP LATCH CAN BE UNDONE IF TUGGED ON. DEALER NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*JB

CONSUMER STATES THE FUEL LINE IS LEAKING FLUID. CAUSE UNKNOWN DEALER NOTIFIED.*JB IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY. IT WAS REMOVED AND REINSTALLED. *JG

AT APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES ON MY LEASED 2000PONTIAC MONTANA THE FRONT BRAKES BEGAN TO EXHIBIT WHAT SEEMED TO BE A WAPARAGE CONDITION. MINIMAL USE, AND NO HIGH SPEED STOPS INDICATED A PROBLEM TO ME BEYOND NORMAL. BRAKE INSPECTION (ON SATURDAY - NOT AT DEALER LOCATION) INDICATED EXTREME PITTING AND WARPING OF FRONT ROTORS - WITH SUBSEQUENT DESTRUCTION OF THE BRAKE PADS. REPLACEMENT WAS ACCOMPLISHED ($294.30). DEALER ON FIRST BUSINESS DAY FOLLOWING REPAIR DENIED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT UNDER WARRANTY RULES - AND SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT HIS SHOP COULD HAVE TURNED AND RE-CONDITIONED THE ROTORS SO THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR DEFECTS. SUBSEQUENT DISCUSSIONS AND RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM INDICATED THAT G.M. KNOWS WELL OF THIS PROBLEM, AND THAT THEY ARE NOT DISCLOSING IT TO THE PUBLIC. FURTHER, THE ROTORS WERE INSPECTED BY TWO INDEPENDENT SHOPS WITH EXCELLENT REPUTATIONS, AND FOUND TO BE UN-REPAIRABLE BY THEIR STANDARDS AS WELL AS THE DISCARD STANDARD GIVEN TO ME BY REFUSING DEALER. ISSUE: IS IT ILLEGAL FOR DEALER SHOPS TO MAKE SUCH JUDGEMENTS, AND SEND PEOPLE OUT ON THE ROADS WITH DANGERIOUS BRAKES? MY PRESSURE HAS GOTTEN RE-IMBURSEMENT FOR MY COSTS ON THIS ISSUE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE IS TO NOTIFY G.M. AND/OR THE DEALER OF THEIR MIS-GIVINGS. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND HAD IT REPAIRED. BUT, CURRENTLY, DEALER CAN'T IDENTIFY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT KEEPS REOCCURRING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM.THEN, RETURN TO NORMAL STATUS. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED; HOWEVER SEEMED NOT TO BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

VAN STALLED OUT TWO TIMES WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD. AFTER STALLING I WOULD TRY TO START IT AND IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. BOTH TIMES I HAD IT TOWED TO MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP. BOTH TIMES I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEM AND THEY SAID WHILE THEY WERE PERFORMINGB A DIAGNOSTIC TEST IT WOULD START. THEY RETURNED IT TO ME AND I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER AGAIN.*AK

TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE (SPLITTING) AND WERE REPLACED FAILURE. *AK (TIRESIZE: 15)

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, VEHICLE RAN OVER A ROCK, AND ROCK CAME UP AND HIT THE FUEL TANK, CAUSING THE TANK TO LEAK, THERE ARE PUDDLES OF FUEL IN CONSUMER'S GARAGE. CONTACTED DEALER AND THE DEALER WAS GOING TP PICK UP THE VEHICLE.*AK CONSUMER STATES THE ROCK HIT THE FILLER NECK GOING INTO THE TANK WHICH IS UNPROTECTED JUST 13 INCHES FROM THE LEFT REAR TIRE, THE TANK LEAKED IN THE SEAM WHERE THE NECK IS PRESSED INTO THE PLASTIC TANK.*JB

THE SEAT THAT HOUSES THE INFANT SAFETY SEAT CAN BE LIFTED TO ALLOW PASSENGERS IN THE FAR BACK OF THE MINIVAN. I HAD LET MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT AND THOUGHT I HAD LOCKED THE SEAT BACK IN PLACE. I THEN BUCKLED MY 15 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER INTO THE 5 POINT RESTRAINT, BUILT-IN CAR SEAT. WHILE DRIVING, WE CAME TO A QUICK STOP AND THE ENTIRE SEAT FLEW FORWARD, HITTING MY DAUGHTER'S HEAD ON THE SEAT IN FRONT OF HER. SHE SUSTAINED AN ABRASION TO HER FOREHEAD AND VOMITTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE IMPACT. SHE HAS HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. I AM CONCERNED THERE IS NO WARNING ON THE SEAT THAT HOUSES THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT TO LET YOU KNOW WHETHER IT HAS BEEN LOCKED IN PLACE. THE SEAT IS HEAVY AND EVEN WITH PULLING FORWARD, IT MAY SEEM LOCKED. THERE SHOULD BE SOME WAY TO CONFIRM THIS SEAT IS LOCKED IN PLACE. *AKY

WHEN REAR DOOR OPENS YOU CAN'T STOP IT, IT BROKE MY WRIST WHEN MY BRACLET CAUGHT ON HANDLE. *AK

CONSUMER'S HAND GOT CAUGHT IN THE HANDLE OF THE SLIDING DOOR, CAUSING CONSUMER'S WRIST TO TWIST AND BREAK. ONCE THE DOOR HAS STARTED TO OPEN THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP IT FROM OPENING. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK PE04064.PCO

ELECTRONIC DOOR INSIDE OF VEHICLE OPENED AND CLOSED INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

VEHICLE WILL NOT START. SECOND OCCURRENCE. FEARFUL OF VEHICLE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. INFORMED ON PREVIOUS FAILURE THAT PROBLEM WAS FUEL PUMP. FELL VEHICLE HAS TOO FEW MILES TO BE HAVING THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS. *AK

WHILE PUTTING CHILD IN BACKSEAT SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR CLOSED ON CONSUMER, AND DID NOT OPEN AS IT SHOULD. INSTEAD IT PINNED HER BETWEEN DOOR AND FRAME OF VEHICLE. ON 20 OCT0BER 2001 WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH SAME SLIDING DOOR OPENED. BOTH RECALLS ON SLIDING DOOR HAD BEEN DONE PRIOR TO THIS. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER 3 TIMES AFTER RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE, UNABLE TO REMEDY PROBLEM. *AK

RPM NEEDLE GOES UP AND DOWN, AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT COMES ON BEFORE VEHICLE STALLS. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED SIX TIMES BY SAME DEALER, AND PROBLEM COULDN'T BE FOUND. VEHICLE IS AT ANOTHER DEALER TO SEE IF THERE'S A CHANGE.*AK

A MALFUNCTION IS PRESENT IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT CAUSES EXHAUST FUMES TO ESCAPE INTO PASSENGER'S COMPARTMENT THAT CAUSES PASSENGERS TO BECOME ILL. DEALER HAS YET TO BE CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

I STOPPED AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY AND GOT OUT TO GET THE MAIL AND NEWSPAPER. MY 2 YEAR OLD TODDLER GOT OUT OF HER CARSEAT AND JUMPED INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE. THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING ACROSS THE STREET. I COULD ONLY RUN ALONGSIDE IN HORROR AS THE CAR DROVE INTO A DITCH ACROSS THE STREET. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMNG AT THE TIME AND NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT. THAT IS WHE I LEARNED THAT OUR MINIVAN COULD HAVE THE GEAR SHIFTED ON OUR AUTOMATIC WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A MINIVAN THAT CARRIES CHILDREN ALL THE TIME.*AK

VEHICLE STALLS AT ANY SPEED, HAS STALLED 10 TIMES SO FAR. CONSUMER NOTICED IT NEVER STALLS IN SUNNY WEATHER, ALWAYS WHEN IT RAINS OR AFTER IT HAS RAINED. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES, CANNOT FIND A CAUSE FOR PROBLEM. *AK

SINCE 10/25/00 WHEN THE FIRST TIME THIS VAN PROCEEDED TO OVERHEAT AND THE THEROMSTAT WAS CHANGED IN OHIO ON VACATION. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER IN MO AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO TIGHTEN A CLAMP AND CHECK THE THEROMSTAT AND THEY SAID PROBLEM SOLVED. ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR VARIOUS OTHER PROBLEMS BUT ALWAYS SMELLING ANTIFREEZE AND THEN THE AIR CONDITONER WASNT COOLING THE WAY IT SHOULD AND THE RADIO WAS REPLACED DUE TO THE FACT THE LCD SCREEN WENT OUT. ON 9-13 - 01 WAS BACK IN THE DEALER ...DIFFERENT DEALER THAN IT WAS PURCHASED FROM ...FOR VARIOUS ITEMS AND ONE TO CHECK ON THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR WE WERE GOING ON A TRIP...WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WENT ON TRIP AND ON THE WAY HOME ..THE VAN STARTED TO OVERHEAT AGAIN...STOPPED PULLED OVER AND LET THE VAN REST AND SHUT OFF AC AND PROCEEDED TO HOTEL AND THEN DROVE HOME THE NEXT DAY AND IN THE DEALERSHIP IT WENT ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT WAS A DEFECTIVE RADITOR CAP AND DEBRI IN BETWEEN THE RADITOR AND CONDERSOR.*AK

THE CHILD INADVERNTLY HIT THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND WAS CLOSE TO THE DOOR WHEN IT CLOSED AND CAUGHT HER UPPER ARM

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT AND THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT FAILED, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT UNEXPECTEDLY BROKE CAUSING THE BELT NOT TO LATCH, THE SECOND ROW CAPTAIN'S CHAIR WAS PULLED TOO FAR AND NOW WILL NOT RETRACT, THE CONSUMER WAS ASKING THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY. YH THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT UNEXPECTEDLY BROKE CAUSING THE BELT NOT TO LATCH, THE SECOND ROW CAPTAIN'S CHAIR WAS PULLED TOO FAR AND NOW WILL NOT RETRACT . YH

WAS TRAVELING 40-45MPH WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN AROUND, U-TURN, AND CUT OFF PONTIAC. VEHICLE WAS HIT ON DRIVER'S REAR SIDE. UPON IMPACT WITH OTHER VEHICLE, AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. NO INJURIES.*AK

WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON JULY 5, 2001 IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION WHICH KILLED MY HUSBAND IMMEDIATELY AND MY SON DIED TWO DAYS LATER DUE TO HEAD INJURIES. I WAS INJURED WITH RIB FRACTURES/ LOW BACK SPINAL FRACTURES AND MY LEFT LEG REQUIRED SURGERY. I AM UNABLE TO BEAR WEIGHT ON MY LEFT LEG FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS. A CAR WAS GOING EAST ON I-40 AND I WAS GOING WEST. IT CROSSED THE MEDIAN TRYING TO MISS A LADDER THAT HAD FALLEN OUT OF ANOTHER VECHICLE AND IT HIT US HEAD-ON. AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE UPON IMPACT. FRONT PASSENGER DID INFLATE AFTER WE WERE REMOVED, AND VAN CAUGHT ON FIRE. MY SON MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED IF THE AIRBAGS HAD INFLATED SINCE THE CAR WENT DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VAN. WE ALL HAD OUR SEATBELTS ON. MY SON WAS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD. *AK

RECALL 01V067000 REPAIRS WERE DONE. SOON AFTER SLIDING DOOR WOULD OPEN UP ON ITS OWN. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES, COULD NOT REMEDY. CONSUMER CURRENTLY HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH SLIDING DOOR THAN PRIOR TO RECALL BEING PREFORMED.*AK CONSUMER STATES SLIDING DOOR CONTINUES TO OPEN WHILE IN MOTION, VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALER FOR CONSIDERATION IN A VEHICLE BUY BACK. *SLC

THE VAN HAS HAD MULTIPLE AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILURES AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. GM REFUSES TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A HISTORY OF ABS AND AIR BAG FAILURES. THE GM DISTRICT MANAGER ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CENTRAL COMPUTER SYSTEM ON THE 2000 MONTANA. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER SYSTEM AND THE REPLACEMENT ALSO FAILED. WE ARE PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAG FAILURES. WE WILL NEVER KNOW IF THEY WORK UNTIL WE NEED THEM. AT THAT POINT IT'S A LITTLE LATE TO DISCOVER THAT THEY DON'T WORK. DO MONTANAS HAVE A HIGH RATE OF AIR BAG FAILURES DURING ACCIDENTS?

MY THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS STARTING TO ENTER OUR MINIVAN AS THE POWER SLIDING DOOR WAS CLOSING. SHE REACHED IN TO STOP THE DOOR AND REVERSE IT (BY PRESSING THE INTERIOR BUTTON)AND THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER HAND AND SHUT. AN ADULT HAD TO COME AND OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE HER HAND COULD BE FREED. THE DOOR IS SUPPOSED TO REVERSE WHEN RESISTANCE IS ENCOUNTERED. I HAVE TRIED TO STOP THE DOOR AND THE AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE IT TAKES TO STOP THIS DOOR WOULD BRUISE MY ARM AND DEFINATELY CRUSH HER HAND OR ANY OTHER BODY PART INCLUDING HER HEAD. LUCKILY ONLY ONE SIDE OF HER HAND WAS STUCK AND SEVERELY BRUISED AND NOW SWOLEN AND BRUISED ACROSS HER KNUCKLES AND DOWN HER HAND. THE POWER OF THIS DOOR EXCEEDS ANY POWER BROUGHT ABOUT BY A GARAGE DOOR AND THEY SEEM TO HAVE HIGHER SAFETLY STANDARDS THAN A MINIVAN WHICH IS GEARED TOWARD FAMILES WITH CHILDREN. I BROUGHT THIS TO PONTIAC'S ATTENTION AND RECEIVED NO EXPLANATION OR ANSWERS. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A BEAM, AS IN GARAGE DOORS, OR AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE RESISTANCE NEEDED TO REVERSE THE DOOR BEFORE MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OCCUR.*AK

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK IN GARAGE WITHOUT KEYS IN IGNITION, VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. POLICE REPORT STATED THAT FIRE BEGAN IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FIRE SPREAD FROM VEHICLE TO THE GARAGE AND ALSO MELTED THE NEIGHBORS VINYL SIDING. *AK

WHEN CONSUMER PURCHASED VEHICLE HE WAS TOLD THAT REAR SLIDING POWER DOOR WOULD STOP CLOSING QUICKLY IF HE WERE TO HOLD IT. HIS WIFE WAS IN DOOR WAY WHEN CONSUMER ACCIDENTLY CLOSED IT, AND WIFE WAS PINNED BY DOOR. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP DOOR.*AK CONSUMER'S WIFE WAS BRUISED VERY BADLY. *SLC

CONSUMER COMPLAINT IS AGAINST DESIGN OF THE POWER SLIDING DOOR. A CHILD WOULD NOT BE CAPABLE OF STOPPING DOOR FROM CLOSING BECAUSE CHILD COULD NOT USE ENOUGH PRESSURE TO STOP DOOR. *CONSUMER DID RECEIVE NOTIFICATION FOR A RECALL, STATING THAT DOOR CAN AUTOMATICALLY OPEN WHILE IN OPERATION. CONSUMER IS TAKING VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS. HOWEVER ,THIS IS A SEPARATE ISSUE.*AK THE SLIDING DOOR CLOSES VERY FORCEFULLY AND THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED ABLOUT THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF THE DOOR. *YH
