: the contact stated while driving various speeds, all of the instrument cluster panel warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer, who determined the ignition switch needed to be replaced. After the replacement, the problem persisted. The vehicle was again inspected by the dealer who performed a diagnostic test, which did not produce any failure codes. The manufacturer was alerted.

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.

  • miles
We were driving our brand new Montana van at about 25 miles per hour when the engine just stopped. We had all other electrical working (doors, windows, tv) but the motor would not turn over. It was difficult to steer to the side of the road. This was at 731 miles on the odometer. We had it towed to a dealership and after 3 days they claimed it was a blown fuse. We picked up the van and tried to drive it home. We made it 40 miles and it died again. Appears to be the same problem. Had it towed to the dealership in our home town and they have had it for 4 days and still can not find out what has caused it to stop. In the meantime, they are racking up the miles on our new vehicle and even if they give us the van back, we are not sure we will ever feel safe in it again. Because of the lack of steering and braking control when this happens, we are afraid that there may be an accident, or that we could get stranded anywhere. This is a major concern. The minor problem was that the passenger side windshield wiper flipped over the side of the vehicle and scratched and dented the passenger door frame. A little loss of control. Please inform us if there is a problem with the Montanas and the engine quitting. Thank you.
