problem #3

Montana 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,082 miles
Several times now, both the passenger and driver side automatic window switch has malfunctioned. The passenger window will became stuck in the middle of severe rain storm here in Florida. The window was down all the way and my three children in the back got very wet. The switch motor ( electrical panel on the door) had been replaced and there after, still didn't work correctly.

Montana

  • 3,060 miles
Gas leaking under the driver seat and under the hood. Also, gas was pouring out from the motor. The window failed to open, the consumer is currently waiting on a new motor. The rear brakes were leaking, the tie rods had to be replaced because they were loose, the left rear stuck became stuck, when the gear was taken out of park and placed into drive and the consumer proceeded to accelerate the vehicle jerked, the engine light illuminated, the dealer determined the emission system was dragging, the driver side mirror vibrated, the bumper cover was loose. When the consumer attempted to turn the key in the ignition, the vehicle did not start, the dealer was unable to duplicate the consumer's concern. The fuel pressure regulator was leaking and the fuel filter was replaced. The vehicle would not go over 10 mph, the vehicle shifted and then returned to normal speed. The plastic on the drivers seat was loose.
