| I have owned both a '92 and a '97 transport and both had the same problems. the power window controls pop loose of the driver's door and the windows fail to operate. the rear door lock fails. the blinker and cruise control lever snapped off the steering column so the blinker doesn't work. the window wiper control module failed. the transaxle hoses sprung a leak at the metal connections causing the transaxle to loose fluid and the vehicle to be stranded. *tr | |||

| My transmission has been replaced once and i am already having problems with it again, it's only been a year since it was replaced. both of my front windows are power windows and i have had to replace the little motor for them to go up and down twice and the passenger is not working again. my left front signal light never works, it gets replaced and a day later is not working again. i have problems with my steering wheel, it is very hard to turn right, this was already fixed and i'm having problems again. i need to know if there are or there where any recalls related to my problems. i have read about other people having transmission problems. thank you. *jb | |||

| I took my 97 pontiac transport into the christensen dealership at 2125 n. university parkway. p.o box 1487 , provo utah 84604 for a recall on my windshield wiper parking assembly. the dealership charged me $40.00 to look at the windshield wipers and told me that they could not honor the recall because another person had taken the car in before me and had already fixed the recall. if a recall is placed on a item and the dealership fixes the item with another faulty item shouldn't they be responsible to fix the problem until they get it right? should the owner of the vehicle continue to pay to fix the problem over and over with a faulty item that could enable him to drive his vehicle in a safe manner? i hope this is not the case. thank you for your time. james baldwin. *nlm | |||

| Problem #1 - seat belts. four out of the seven seat belts in the car have failed. specifically the retraction system. four out of seven going bad to me, means this is not an isolated failure. i'm concern about the other 3 working if in an accident. dealers contacted want to charge me $800 - $1000 to fix four seat belts. need to get it fixed, but nothing to believe i won't be asking that same dealer to fix the other 3 seat belts when they go bad too. dealers say high cost of repair is directly attributed to the cost of parts. unlike an alternator, or other engine component, the seat belt assembly is sole sourced from one manufacturer. locked in to a non-competitive price (and obviously over inflated). problem #2 - rack and pinon steering. i noticed on your web site what i believe to be the same problem under pontiac transports. basically told by dealer the rack and pinon steering system is bad. out of warranty, so big bucks. have had to pay quite a bit in dealer repair bills already on vehical. for example, problems with automatic sliding door, windshield wipers, back hatch, side window, push buttons on door arm rest, air conditioning.....also poor design with plastic parts in high stressed point areas.*ak | |||
