problem #3

Montana 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

The door comes unlatched from the Pontiac Montana mini vans w/O power slider also. Subsequently my van door passanger side came open slamming off half on the road and then remained attached to the top but the track wheel snapped off, making it inpossible to put on with out tools and the muscles to even lift it.

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?

Vehicle stalls while driving, and will intermittently start. Also, sliding doors lock up. Dealer inspected vehicle & moved the spark plug over thinking it was causing the disruption.
