Pontiac Trans Sport Visibility Power Window Devices And Controls Safety Report | Feb 21, 2001
Reported on Feb 21, 2001
| THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. IN 1995, WE BOUGHT A PONTIAC TRANSPORT MINIVAN. IT HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE ENDURED THREE POWER WINDOW MOTOR FAILURES. THIS STRIKES US AS A CLEAR MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WITH POSSIBLE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. IN THAT MY WIFE DRIVES 4 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL NEARLY EVERY DAY, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ABILITY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. IN EFFECT, WE NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE TRIED TO GET PONTIAC'S LOCAL ZONE PERSONNEL TO RESPOND TO NO AVAIL. PERHAPS YOU CAN HELP. MY QUESTIONS ARE: 1) HAS PONTIAC (OR A GM SISTER DIVISION SUCH AS CHEVROLET OR OLDSMOBILE) HAD BROADER PROBLEMS WITH THIS COMPONENT, 2) IS IT A SAFETY CONCERN WHERE WE NEED TO GET A NEW VEHICLE TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AND THE CHILDREN THEY CAR POOL WITH? 3) DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTION REGARDING WAYS TO GET GM TO PAY ANY ATTENTION TO OUR CONCERNS?*AK | |
