NHTSA complaint #8002228, filed 2003-07, 95,000 miles

“I own a 1994 Pontiac transport, the windshield wipers stop and resume at will, sometimes they are inactive for as long as hours. Twice this almost LED to an accident. I understand that in canada there has been a recall and a fix for this problem, how come not in the us? If the same component is being used there will be the same outcome!”

“Stalls when gets warm. Abs braking light comes on every now and then. I was rolling up window it has electric and window shattered in side door. I have put a new module in and a newrotor cap and the new coil. The old coil caught on fire when the van stalled on me. Now it has no spark. I had it in sadlers motors and they told me the module was bad. I put it in. It studders going down the road when it gets warm gas quit coming out of injectors then when I put module on injectors work now I was wondering if there was recalls on any of that stuff I baught the van used. …”
