| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 pontiac montana sv6. when the vehicle is stopped and idling, the battery voltage begins to decrease. the vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealer several times; however, the failure continues. also, when the contact places the vehicle into drive, the rpm's increase, but the vehicle does not accelerate. the vehicle was diagnosed for the failure, but it still persists when the contact attempts to drive. in addition, the driver side door on the vehicle does not properly shut and leaves a one inch gap between the door and the body of the vehicle. the engine will also attempt to turn for 30 seconds, but will not turn over completely. all of the failures occur intermittently and were serviced by the dealer while the vehicle was still under warranty. the current mileage was 38,000 and failure mileage was 20,000. | |||
