Pontiac Trans Sport Latches/locks/linkages Doors Latch Safety Report | Sept 10, 2005
Reported on Sept 10, 2005
| I BROUGHT MY 1998 PONTIAC TRANSPORT MINIVAN IN FOR RECALL REPAIR ARRIVING AT 7:30 AM. MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME AROUND 9 AM AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE WORK WAS COMPLETED. I PRESSED THE AUTOMATIC DOOR AND IT DIDN'T RELEASE, SO I LET SOMEONE KNOW. MY VEHICLE WAS SWOSHED AWAY AND I STOOD THERE NOT REALLY KNOWING WHAT THE PERSON SAID QUICKLY BEFORE JUMPING IN AND TAKING OFF. I SIMPLY STEPPED BACK OUT OF HIS WAY. FINALLY, I WENT BACK IN THE WAITING ROOM AND ABOUT AN HOUR LATER HE CAME IN. HE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO BRING IT BACK DURING A WEEK DAY WHERE HE WOULD HAVE MORE TIME TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE DOOR HANDLE/LOCK. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME $95.00. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT EXCEPT CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE RECALL LETTER. I TRULY FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD NOT BE A CHARGE, BECAUSE THE RECALL LETTER CLEARLY STATES TO REPLACE THE EXISITING HANDLE, LOCK, ETC. SO THE DOOR CAN OPEN AND CLOSE AS IT SHOULD. I ASKED TWICE IF HE NEEDED TO SEE THE LETTER AND HE SAID NO BOTH TIMES. *JB | |
