THE HEAD LIGHT COVER FELL OFF DURING A RAIN STORM. THE NEXT MORNING SECOND HEADLIGHT COVER FELL OFF IN CONSUMER'S HAND. THIS IS A POSSIBLE PROBLEM FOR CHEVROLET, VENTURE/PONTIAC, TRANSPORT; AND OLDSMOBILE, SILHOUETTE. IT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. *AK

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE RACK AND PINION AS STATED IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB

HEADLAMP COVERS FLY OFF BECAUSE OF POOR GLUING, WATER HITS BULB AND IT BLOWS OUT. *JB

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET HAS BEGUN LEAKING. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILURE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE.

AT 71,000 MILES, THE POWER WINDOW CONTROL MODULE ON MY 1998 PONTIAC TRANSPORT WAS FAILED. INITIALLY, THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW MOVED VERY SLOWLY, AND THEN WOULDN'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY. FINALLY, IT OPERATED WITH THE WINDOW ASKEW, AND NOT CLOSING AT ALL.

THE POWER SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT WORK. THE DRIVER HAS TO TURN THE POWER OFF THAT GOES TO THE DOOR IN ORDER TO KEEP IT SHUT. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHUT THE DOOR IT WILL ONLY CLOSE A LITTLE, THEN RE-OPEN. THE VAN WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT. *AK *SCC

THE GAS GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY INCORRECT AND NEVER REGISTERS THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE FUEL PUMP AND HAS REPLACED PUMP 3X. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

WHILE DRIVING AT 57MPH AND INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK
