Pontiac Montana Structure Body Door Safety Report | Dec 01, 2005
Reported on Dec 01, 2005
| THE PASSENGER AUTO DOOR CONTINUES CLOSING WHEN OBJECTS OR PERSONS ARE IN ITS PATH. I AM A PETITE WOMAN AND IT TAKES ALL I HAVE IN ME TO PUSH THE DOOR BACK OPEN. MY HUSBAND IS A LARGE, MUSCULAR MAN AND HE STRUGGLES TO STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING ON HIM. IT HAS COME TOO CLOSE TO CATCHING MY CHILD ONE TIME TOO MANY. NOTICED THE PROBLEM SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE IN NOV 2003 AND MENTIONED TO DEALER. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL ON ALL MONTANAS AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. WILL IT TAKE MAJOR INJURIES BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS CORRECTED? ALSO THE NON-AUTO DRIVER SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT STAY OPEN WHEN PUSHED ALL THE WAY OPEN ON FLAT PARKING SURFACES AND ESPECIALLY ON HILLSIDE PARKING. *NM | |
