2003 pontiac montana minivan have had both front headlight units fill up with condensation effectively ruining the headlights. General motors replaced the drivers side unit in 2006 as a "goodwill' gesture but now refuses to replace the passenger's side. This is a major safety issue which I understand has happened to a lot of other pontiac minivans. These failures are not due to any external damage to the units but some defect is causing these units to fill with condensation and this creates a major safety issue by ruining the effectiveness of the headlights..
2003 Pontiac Montana lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brake light bulbs continually burn out. The bottom of the bulbs are melted when removed. All other tail lights work fine. This is the same problem experienced by owners of 2002 model montanas that have logged several complaints. Mine is a 2003 model having the same issue.
Dt: consumer has a back sliding passenger door on the driver's side that opens at random. Speed is not a factor. When putting vehicle in gear and sometimes in park the door opens by itself. Vehicle was taken to the dealership 3 times for work but problem has still not been resolved. Dealer claims that there is no problem. After van was picked up on friday night door had been scratched up with sandpaper. This was undocumented on the paper work. All that was included on the paper work was oil change. The van was taken to dealer for oil change, and to have the door fixed. The receipt only mentioned oil change. Also, ignition started by itself. When the key was turned in the upright position the van cranked ,and driver's hand was not on the key. In addition, there is water in front headlight cover which was replaced 3 times . Rear hatchback malfunctioned and was taken back to dealer for service. Hatchback was recalled, and had already been fixed once.
1) water in headlight 2) hard to start 3) turns itself off while driving it! 4) squeaky brakes 5) 1/2 gallon of water dumps out of dash onto passenger floor board
