Pontiac Montana Equipment Safety Report | June 15, 2007
Reported on June 15, 2007
| THE COMPRESSOR FOR MY 2001 MONTANA, HAVING ONLY 68K MILES WAS DIAGNOSED AS DEFECTIVE BY JONES PONTIAC SERVICE IN LANCASTER. THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE COMPRESSOR, WHICH WASN'T CAUSED BY WEAR & TEAR. THE MANUFACTURER, PONTIAC REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS AT A DISCOUNTED COST. THE REPLACEMENT COST WAS $1,200. THE COMPRESSOR DOESN'T WORK, AND WOULD LEAK FREON INTO THE ATMOSPHERE IF USED. I HAVEN'T HAD THIS FIXED OR PERMITTED FREON TO BE FILLED INTO THE COMPRESSOR, SO I HAVEN'T USED THE COMPRESSOR. THE COMPRESSOR IS NEEDED TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS IN THE WINTER, WHICH COULD CAUSE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. I BELIEVE PONTIAC SHOULD HOLD THE MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ABNORMAL DEFECT, AND OFFER A 75% DISCOUNT ON THE PART. *TR | |
