What 1995 Pontiac Trans Sport owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
1995 pontiac trans sport caught fire under the vehicle. *kb the consumer stated the vehicle did have an oil leak. Ohio traffic crash report# 10-89-0648.
The frame is rusted out with one bolt holding up the engine. This is major safety hazard. It was only recently discovered by a mechanic doing some repairs on the engine. The frame on a 11 year old car should not rust out. A major accident could have occurred.
We have a 1995 pontiac transport. It leaks oil really bad. We go about fifteen miles, and then we have to add two more quarts of oil. We have a friend that had the same model of van. His van did the same thing. He repaired the manifold gasket three times. Each time costing $900. Finally on the fourth time this situation occurred again. He traded his van in on another vehicle. We however don't have the money to repair our van. We live on a social security income.
Front passenger seat belt retractor broke on a 1995 pontiac transport at 80,000 miles.
Consumer's vehicle had to slow down to make a turn and was rear ended by another vehicle. This caused the back of driver's seat to collapse, and driver ended up in the rear of the vehicle. Driver sustained back, shoulder, neck, and head injuries.
Have been experiencing problems when I start my van. All the idiot lights come on the dash, it has happened twice since I have had this vehicle. The speedometer and tach gauges don't work when this happens. The first time it happened the sliding door would not work when you pushed the button on the door or the one on the front window panel. I have had intermittent problems with the sliding door, I would try to close it and it would open again., since I have owned this vehicle which I bought in 1999. I have had both front door handles on the inside of the door snap on me. I feel that there might be a problem with the ignition switch because the first problem I was talking about doesn't happen all the time and it's when I have gotten in and started the vehicle. I thought it was repaired but it happened again the next day they did find a grounded out wire.
At any speed when consumer depressed the brakes vehicle hesitated. After several seconds, vehicle accelerated rapidly. Also, intermittently vehicle would be on the verge of stalling, but kept on running at a low rpms. Dealer is dismissed the problem.
Dealer had at previous times checked coolant system and said no trouble, had cleaned radiator and checked engine temperature. Said everything ok. Now out warranty and engine blown due to coolantleakage and best deal so far for repair is 3400.00 from chevy dealer. Vehicle is worthless as trade w/o fix and not sure how much its worth even when fixed with this history. 1-800-pmcares offers no offer of repair cost even w/ 2600+ complants on gmcnsmr/petition site
This vehicle is having multiple problems, gm never lets me know of any recalls. I understand that today they have recalled them again for a problem in the steering but I cannot find any information. Very upset that I have to pay to get this thing fixed! Really need a new car now. The gas gauge or tank is empty when the gauge shows 1/2 tank. Side door we unplugged because it would not close and the light still shows on my dash as open. Many times it simply would not open. In a crash we would not be able to open any doors if the vehicle was running. The transmission is leaking badly. We replaced it once only to have this happen again. We use a lot of fluid and oil. The engine is running very poorly, would not pass emissions. Interior lights will not work. Van looks new on outside except the hood which had no primer ed and now has chips on it. We don't know what to do, we cannot afford a new car nor fix this one.
