2000 PONTIAC MONTANA Complaints

THE CRANK ARM ON THE WIPER MOTOR FAILED CAUSING THE WIPER ARM TO NOT RETURN TO THEIR HOME POSITION WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED OFF AFTER USE. NLM

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH, A CAR LOST CONTROL AND RAN INTO CENTER DIVIDER AND I COLLIDED WITH THAT CAR. THE PASSENGER SIDE BELT DID NOT HOLD MY WIFE BACK INTO HER SEAT. AIR BAGS DID GO OFF. HER FACE WAS BADLY HURT TWICE, ONCE BUY THE DASH FROM STOPPING VERY SHARPLY AND THE SEATBELT NOT HOLDING HER BACK AND THE OTHER BY THE AIR BAG SMACKING HER FACE WHEN WE COLLIDED. *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED STALLING, DEALER REPAIRED THE HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE, THERE WAS A SPACE THAT WAS TOO LARGE FOR THE CONNECTOR THAT WOULD CAUSE IT TO ARK AND STALL THE VEHICLE. *SLC

ORIGNAL FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION AT 5700 MILES DEALER INSTALLED A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION, SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 8600 MILES. DEALER HAS INSTALLED A SECOND REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INTERLOCKED AND MANGLED. DEALER SAID THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A FACTORY DEFECT. *AK THE PROBLEM REOCCURED AFTER THE DEALER HAD REPLACED THE WIPER BLADES. *YH

VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER ON SIX DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. DEALER HAD REPLACED CABLES AND REINSTALLED TRANSMISSION, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER HAS RECOGNIZED THE DEFECT, BUT HAS NOT FOUND AN ACTUAL REMEDY. WITH DEFECT CONSUMER DID NOT HAVE FULL CONTROL OF VEHICLE, WHICH COULD RESULT INTO AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 65 ON FREEWAY THE LEFT REAR SLIDING DOOR WINDOW EXPLODED INTO THE CAR. MY DAUGHTER WAS SEATED THERE AND RECEIVED LACERATIONS ON HER LEFT HAND AND ARM. THE GLASS SHOWERED THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH GLASS. THE NOISE AS THE WINDOW

WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON AT NIGHT, LIGHTS INSIDE DASHBOARD ARE SO BRIGHT THAT THEY CAUSE DISTRACTION TO CONSUMER WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER ATTEMPTS TO DIM THE LIGHTS, BUT LIGHTS INSIDE THE DASHBOARD WOULD BE VERY DIM, AND DIFFICULT FOR CONSUMER TO SEE DASHBOARD INFORMATION. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE NOT RECOGNIZED THE LIGHTING AS A DEFECT, AND WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY REMEDY.*AK

ONCE THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR IS ACTIVATED IT CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY A BUTTON, NO AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WILL STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING. THE MANUAL STATES THAT THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WILL HAVE TO INCREASE AS IT GETS CLOSER TO THE CLOSING POINT, BUT WE (SERVICE GUY) AND MYSELF COULD NOT STOP AFTER AN INCH OF MOVEMENT. HAVE TRIED THIS ON OTHER MONTANA'S WITH THE SAME RESULT. SINCE NO FORCE CAN STOP THIS DOOR, PEOPLE OR THINGS COULD GET CAUGHT. LOOKING FOR IT TO OPERATE LIKE AN ELEVATOR DOOR ESENTIALLY. WHEN ENOUGH FORCE IS APPLIED THE DOOR STOPS OR REVERSES. THERE IS AN OVERRIDE IN THE CAR TO DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR, BUT THEN IT IS SO DIFICULT TO OPEN MANUALLY THAT IT IS NOT A DESIREABLE SITUATION. *AK

THE BRACKET AND FRAYED CABLE THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE FAILED CAUSING THE TIRE TO FALL TO THE GROUND WHILE DRIVING. NLM
