The dash keeps telling me that the traction control and stability system need to be checked. I have wiring issues for the passenger side front lights, they come on and off. Fuel gauge does not read properly all the time and now most recently the passenger seat belt alarm does not register that the seat belt is connected. The vehicle experiences these issues moving and stationary.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 pontiac montana. The contact stated that the fuel gauge on the vehicle does not reflect the actual amount of fuel in the tank. In addition, the fuel warning light flashed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 151,763.

I did not realize every owner of a pontiac montana all had same problems. Every owner. Here is one of the websites. Http://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/comment/3340529. The dealer sold me a pontiac montana. The second day I drove it, I ran out the gas because the gas gauge read full, but actually it was empty. I did not realize the gas gauge stops working until every owner had the same problem. Every owner had a condenser problem. Every owner. Which in turn makes the head gasket go. I am a single parent and did not understand that numerous calls to gmc were made and no recalls has been done. It is shameless, how people like me are struggling and these car dealers made billions with faulty equipment. If you google pontiac complaints. Every owner had the same problem. Every owner. I cant afford to replace a motor because of the head gasket. I am still making payments on this car loan. Isn't their a law that can help victims like us. It should be shameful how gmc has sold pontiac vehicles with so many faulty equipment. I need help. If every single owner had the same condenser, same, heating problem, same gas gauge, same blown head gasket as a result. Pontiac gmc should be forced to pay.

This is a addon from the previous one I submitted just now. I want to point out. I was almost killed when I ran out of gas on the highway, because the gas gauge read incorrectly. When the engine become hot, it almost started a fire. I am a single parent with a ten year old. Dealers are still selling these pontiac montana's. We do not know how many deaths it may have already caused. Or how many women and children were stranded, because the gas gauge reads incorrectly, it will say its full but it is actually empty. The condensers go, which cause a blown head gasket. I cannot afford to replace the motor, and I already put out close to a thousand dollars already. The first month I bought it from a dealer. Every owner has had the same exact problem. Every owner. Here is one of the websites I did not realize every owner of a pontiac montana all had same problems. Every owner. Here is one of the websites. Http://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/comment/3340529. You can google pontiac montana complaints and their are hundreds of website complaints on the same exact problem. But gmc refused to recall since the complaints first started.

I own a 2002 pontiac montana and the fuel gauge is no longer working properly. It now gives me a reading of either having a full tank of gas or an empty tank of gas. There was no previous warning to the fuel gauge going bad. The incorrect fuel reading occurs at every start up, and the consequences of having an incorrect gauge is the possibility of running out of gas. I have not made a repair as of this time. Please look into this issue, as many other owners are having this same issue, and it is apparent that the fuel gauge is faulty. Failure occurred in february, 2011.

The speedometer, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge all became erratic. After a little research I found that the problem is the defective stepper motors that run the gauges. You can replace them for $30.00 all you need is a soldering iron and about a half hour and you will have a working dash. Here is a little info on the stepper motors.
