problem #1

Sep 012006

Montana 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,000 miles
: the contact stated the vehicle's headlights had an electrical issue that caused the lights to flicker and not remain illuminated. Previously, the brake lights and dash lights had also experienced this issue. The vehicle had been to the service dealer twelve times, but were unable to correct the issue. Updated 10/14/2006 - the dealer had replaced the alternator to try to alleviate electrical problems. The rear power windows sometime would not open or shut, the rear washer and wiper failed intermittently. The dealer replaced the wires, motors regulators, etc. Bu the problems recurred. The consuemr was given a 100,000 mile warranty on the electrical system. The tires started cupping and caused serious road noise. The vehicle began to leak oil. The dealr replaced the main seal.
