Hello on 3/31/09 my 2001 pontiac montana caught on fire while driving on I-88 highway with 60 miles per hour. The smoke filled the car and fire was shooting up at the back window while driving this vehicle. Apparently an electrical shortage at the windshield viper has started the fire.

Driver side wiper assembly began to move the end of the blade past the top outer part of the wind shield a month ago and did not return as far down out of sight as previously. During the rain last night it stopped. Blocked the passenger wiper from moving and the passenger blade snapped off and loosened the washer tip. Cannot drive in the rain now due to poor visibility/failure of the driver side wiper. Waiting for clear weather to have it repaired. I believe this has occurred in later year gm trucks by postings on the internet. Had to wait out the rain for hours last night to get home.

Several times now, both the passenger and driver side automatic window switch has malfunctioned. The passenger window will became stuck in the middle of severe rain storm here in florida. The window was down all the way and my three children in the back got very wet. The switch motor ( electrical panel on the door) had been replaced and there after, still didn't work correctly.

Wipers have failed 4 times the first time I never even left the dealership the day I bought it and they were broke. Took van to dealer and was told this isn't a recall problem but it should be they stick in the up position when off and work erratically. Called gm customer service and was told since van is a 2001 it is out of coverage. $474 to repair. This is ridiculous.

Gas leaking under the driver seat and under the hood. Also, gas was pouring out from the motor. *la the window failed to open, the consumer is currently waiting on a new motor. The rear brakes were leaking, the tie rods had to be replaced because they were loose, the left rear stuck became stuck, when the gear was taken out of park and placed into drive and the consumer proceeded to accelerate the vehicle jerked, the engine light illuminated, the dealer determined the emission system was dragging, the driver side mirror vibrated, the bumper cover was loose. When the consumer attempted to turn the key in the ignition, the vehicle did not start, the dealer was unable to duplicate the consumer's concern. The fuel pressure regulator was leaking and the fuel filter was replaced. The vehicle would not go over 10 MPH, the vehicle shifted and then returned to normal speed. The plastic on the drivers seat was loose.

I was driving, at about 35mph, when the driver side, rear sliding door window exploded! Just exploded, all over my 13 yr. Old daughter! She was covered in glass, and thank heaven, she turned her head away, just as it blew! When the responding officer came, he said that, just 2 weeks earlier, the exact same thing happened, with another minivan! How can this happen? If, my daughter had not turned her head, the glass would have gone right into her eyes! I am furious! Luckily, she only had pinhole punctures, from the glass splinters! It could have been a whole lot more serious! My children do not want to ride in this, or any other minivan!! What can I do?? Thank you!! Ellie. Ak

The wiper blades were going and they pushed the falling snow into the compartment, packing it in. There is not enough heat in the compartment to melt all the snow, so it freeze. The wiper blades could not return down therefore stopping in the middle of the windshield obstructing the view. Possible design flaw.
