My daughter drives this van. She had just put the baby in the car seat , walked around to get in the driver's side and the door fell off. Luckily no one was standing in front of the door and she was parked. The part inside missed the baby. If she had been traveling the baby could of been hurt . The ponticac dealer said contact a local dealer. The local dealer stated we would have to pay for this ourselves. To me this is a defect. I mean how many doors fall off? We are very lucky that no one was hurt or killed. Please help! What if this happens to someone else?
Suspension system could not support 7 passengers + luggage + fuel, without excessive bouncing, causing a reduction of speed (10-15mph) below posted speed limits. Rear brakes were not fully engaging, causing unsafe stopping, especially on hills. Rear brakes were adjusted manually to improve braking, but peddle is still soft. The gsvwr is not great enough for vehical capaity. I was told that this is a dry-weight rating. Mud flaps both front & rear were worn off excessivily, due to boncing. Sometimes it felt like I was loosing control. All suspension components were checked by dealer after return from vacation, but van still exhibits excessive bouncing and bottoming out, even with only two passengers and no luggage. At a highway speed of 70mph, the van would down-shift at every overpass, and slight headwind, during trip across the desert on I-70 to s.l.c., ut. There is no hd suspension parts for this vehicle, which should be available, if one wants to tow a boat. By the way, a reduction in passengers is required, if a boat is towed (300 lbs draw-bar wt) and 3500 lbs tow wt. This is a very under-rated. Nlm

On april 17, 1999, my husband tried to engage his seatbelt properly, and it pulled all the way out, and wouldn't go back in. On april 29, 1999, I pulled into my driveway, let my kids out with the power door, my son tried to close it with the power switch, it wouldn't close, so he tried to close it manually, and it wouldn't budge. I tried to close it manually, and couldn't. The tow truck driver was able to get it closed, but the power still didn't work.
The rear power door opens on command,closes on command than opens by its self. It will close on command again , sometimes it will stay closed, other times it will open again. On several occasions the door tried to open as I was backing out of the drive way, being the doors lock automatically,the door becomes ajar. You then have to stop....put the vehicle in park....open the door ...close the door..hoping the door will stay closed.
Auto sliding passenger door failed. Yh
Electrical malfunction. Passenger side power sliding door does not close properly, when closing with power switch the door makes 2-3 attempts before it closes. Door has to be manually closed.
