Pontiac Montana Latches/locks/linkages Doors Latch Safety Report | Nov 12, 2005
Reported on Nov 12, 2005
| GETTING READY TO LEAVE FROM A SHOPPING CENTER DURING THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM, MY WIFE AND I LOADED BOTH KIDS IN THE BACK OF THE VAN (1 AND 3 YEARS) AND TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOORS. THE AUTOMATIC DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE. WE TRIED THE KEY FOB, THE UPPER ROOF CONSOLE BUTTONS AND THE BUTTONS ON THE B-POSTS. NOTHING WORKED. WE THEN TRIED MANUALLY TO CLOSE THE DOORS BUT THEY WOULD NOT LATCH. WE TURNED THE IGNITION KEY ON AND OFF THE 3 TIMES AND TRIED TO USE BUTTONS AFTER EACH RESTART. FINALLY AFTER TEN MINUTES OF TRYING WE GOT THEM TO CLOSE AND LATCH BY USING THE KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE REPAIR SHEET INDICATES THEY REPLACED THE MODULE AND THE FOBS. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE SINCE THEN, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THE REPAIR THAT WAS DONE IS ADEQUATE SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN SINCE THE REPAIR. *NM | |
