Stalls when gets warm. Abs braking light comes on every now and then. I was rolling up window it has electric and window shattered in side door. I have put a new module in and a newrotor cap and the new coil. The old coil caught on fire when the van stalled on me. Now it has no spark. I had it in sadlers motors and they told me the module was bad. I put it in. It studders going down the road when it gets warm gas quit coming out of injectors then when I put module on injectors work now I was wondering if there was recalls on any of that stuff I baught the van used. Warranty doesn't cover any of this. They said the warranty was in with the price of the van but to find out they charged us for the warranty. Somtimes when we hit a bump it has a rattling noise from rear; it sounds like from front somtimes.

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
