Paint is peeling on the top of van. Other transports I have seen have the same problem. Is there a recall on the paint? The paint on the rest of the vehicle is good with no apparent defects.

All these problems occured with less than 4 years of use on this van. We have regular service records for it as well. It was a very well taken care of van. We just had to replace the whole transmission with 90,000 miles! We'd like to be re-imbursed if possible by pontiac.we'vecalled pontiac but have received no help as of yet. We'd like to get some help,we have all the receipts of all the exausting work done to this van. Its no wonder they took it out of production 3 years later

When trying to enter passenger door I lifted up handle and the inner part of the lock broke off.I called dealer ,they sayit not under warranty. I have heard numerous complaints about this prob and was wondering if an investigtion could be possible before the drivers door brakes and then entering the vehicle would be impossible?

Transmission system doesn't work, dealer said the module has failed but they see as gm problem. The controls between the steering wheel and the dash are shorting out changing everything when you drive. Seat belts have been replaced. The driver and passenger door handles have both been replaced as they broke right off. Just spent $560.00 to dealer and all I got was the seat belt fixed.

While driving on the freeway at 35mph the entire frame fell off the vehicle. This caused the engine/transmission & steering to be ineffective. Had no steering control. Finally had vehicle towed to dealer to checke it out. Manufacturer had no engineer to check it.

Both door handles have broken, know of others with same style of handle mechanism that have failed same way, looks like defect of design, no recalls or tsb's found, broke within three weeks of one another; seatbelts are slow to retract if at all, resulted in slack getting caught in door jam, so consequently when pulled it broke and now will no longer retract; it is very frustrating and we paid good money for a good vehicle so we didn't expect this stuff to be happening.
