1993 PONTIAC TRANS SPORT Complaints

MOST TRANS SPORTS I SEE OF THIS AGE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CLEAR COAT FAILING ON THE PORTION OF THE ROOF PAINTED BLACK. COST TO FULLY REPAIR IS $800. SINCE IT IS A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM ON THE VAN, I SUGGEST THAT IT IS A FAILURE BY THE MANUFACTURE TO PROPERLY PAINT THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE. THE NON-BLACK PART OF THE VAN'S PAINT IS JUST FINE.

THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS DUE TO FAULTY SPEED SENSOR ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. MJS

VEHICLE SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF ALMOST CAUSING INJURY, HANDLE FAILED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. *YC

REAR SHOULDER BELT DOESN'T WORK DUE A BROKEN RETRACTOR. MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER, THE MANUFACTUROR, AND YOUR DEPARTMENT, ALL SAY THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY "VIN" ISNT ONE OF THEM. I HAVE ALL THE THINGS MATCHING FROM YOUR SITE RECALL DATA AS MATCHING. I FEEL THAT I AM BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND BY PONTIAC. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. *AK

VEHICLE FIRE STARTED ON FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH, ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMED BY FIRE WITHIN SIX MINUTES AFTER DRIVER OBSERVED SMOKE.

DRIVER'S SIDE SHOULDER BELT DOES NOT RETRACT INTO THE RETRACTING MECHANISM WHICH HAS CAUSED THE SEAT BELT TO BECOME INOPERABLE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WENT TO STOP VEHICLE & NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM WHEEL WELL. STOPPED VEHICLE & CHECKED. NOTICED AUTO. TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED ON WHEEL & BRAKE PADS ON DRIVER'S SIDE. TOOK TO A GARAGE & INFORMED IT WAS COOLING LINES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER & INFORMED VIN NOT INCLUDED. SAME INFO. FROM MFG. (96V015000 & 96V0115001).

EITHER DIES AT STOP AND WON'T START OR STALLS AT SPEEDS OF 60-70 MPH & WON'T START UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. MECHANIC CAN'T FIND PROBLEM.

THIS PROBLEM STARTED ON LONG TRIPS, THE VEHICLE WOULD QUIT WHILE DRIVING AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND IT WOULD RESTART, THIS HAPPENED ATLEAST ON 4 TRIPS AND 3-5 TIMES ON THOSE TRIPS. WE HAD AN ENTENDED WARRENTY AND TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THE FOLLOWING TIMES, THE DEALER, KRENZENS CONTINUED TO SAY THAT IT DIDN'T SHOW UP ON THEIR COMPUTERS, THEY SAID UNTIL IT HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED THE VAN WOULD NOT RESTART, HAD TO BE TOWED TO KRENZENS AND THEY FANALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM, WHICH WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I KNOW OF 2 OTHER VEHICLES THIS HAPPENED TO BOTH CHEVY LUMINAS.
