Pontiac Montana Latches/locks/linkages Doors Latch Safety Report | Oct 01, 2002
Reported on Oct 01, 2002
| SINCE PURCHASE, HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH BOTH PASSENGER SLIDING DOORS. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR WOULD CONSTANTLY OPEN AND CLOSE AT WILL. HAVE HAD REPAIRS DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP ON A NUMBER OCCASIONS. IT WORKS FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN STARTS OVER AGAIN. NOW, I'VE SHUT OFF THE AUTOMATIC FEATURE BUT THE DOOR IS VERY HARD TO OPEN AND CLOSE. THE PASSENGER SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR GOT STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. AFTER FINALLY FORCING IT CLOSED AND SHUTTING OFF THE AUTOMATIC FEATURE, THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. IN LIGHT OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THESE DOORS, GMC SHOULD BE FORCED TO HAVE A RECALL AND REPLACE THE DOOR MOTORS SO THEY WORK PROPERLY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED WITH THESE DOORS WHICH OPEN AND CLOSE WITHOUT WARNING.*AK | |
