problem #2

Nov 132005

Montana 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 600 miles
Whistle noise from front of vehicle around 60 mph. Dealer has replaced the front windshield seal, door seal, and a gasket under the hood but this has not helped. The dealer told me that they didn't hear the whistle unless they drove it 90 mph!!! I was told that this is a problem with Pontiac's design and it can not be fixed. Passenger side sliding door doesn't stay shut and doesn't open when outside handle is pulled and motor running too long and grinding after door has closed. The door motor has been replaced yet there is still a grinding noise when the door shuts. Headlights surging causing me to constantly be bright lighted by oncoming traffic. The dealer told me that this is normal!

: the contact stated the headlights and dashboard lights pulsate, brighter to darker. The dealership determined this was how the vehicle was manufactured.
