2003 Pontiac Montana Body and structure Problems

“I opened the passenger side door with my remote and began placing groceries in the van. While performing this action, my daughter thought she would help me by turning on the light on the overheard panel. She pushed the wrong button. The automatic door began closing while I was leaning into the van. It continued closing, squeezing me into the door frame itself. I was not able to free myself until the door began retracting on its own. Both hips are bruised and sore and it is painful to walk.”

“1) water in headlight 2) hard to start 3) turns itself off while driving it! 4) squeaky brakes 5) 1/2 gallon of water dumps out of dash onto passenger floor board”

Vehicle was taken to the dealership 3 times for work but problem has still not been resolved. Dealer claims that there is no problem. After van was picked up on friday night door had been scratched up with sandpaper. This was undocumented on the paper work. All that was included on the paper work was oil change. The van was taken to dealer for oil change, and to have the door fixed. …”

“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? …”

“Drivers window sticks and is falling out. This same thing is happening on company van and co-worker with the same style vehicle. Window in company van has had new mechanism and window trim replaced and is doing it again.”
