Pontiac Montana Power Train Axle Hubs Safety Report | Mar 19, 2008
Reported on Mar 19, 2008
| OUR 2005 PONTIAC MONTANA SV6 MINIVAN, LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD WITH 44,888 MILES ON IT, RECENTLY FAILED THE NORTH CAROLINA VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUBS HAD DEVELOPED UNACCEPTABLE PLAY. PONTIAC REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE 36000 MILE LIMIT (BUT UNDER THE 3 YEAR TIME LIMIT). BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL SAFETY CONSEQUENCES OF A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE FRONT WHEEL HUBS, AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE LICENSED IN NORTH CAROLINA WITHOUT PASSING THE NORTH CAROLINA SAFETY INSPECTION, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT OUR EXPENSE BE REPLACING BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUBS. I CURRENTLY HAVE POSSESSION OF THE OLD REPLACED PARTS IF A CLOSER INSPECTION IS DESIRED. *TR | |
