2002 pontiac montana. While the vehicle was parked in the garage, I smelled a strong odor of fuel outside the vehicle. I noticed a small amount of fuel spilling from the lower portion of the fuel tank. There were no warnings prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for a diagnostic. The failure was related to a crack in the fuel tank inlet check valve. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign ID number 07v349000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage), although the failures were identical. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 93,426. also since this happening the gas tank does not read the gas amount correctly,its either full or low on fuel and light comes on. *tr

The driver and passenger side brake lights constantly go out. I have spoken to a mechanic and he told me that it IS very common for gm vehicles in this model year range to have to replace the lighting bank in the rear of the vehicles on both sides. the bank which contains the brake lights, the back-up lights, and the running lights fails and the brake lights seem to be most affected. I have had to replace my brake lights approximately once a month for multiple years. there have been many near-collisions due to brake lights not operating. the third brake light at the top of the vehicle appears to not be affected by this. *tr

Early saturday morning on september 8, 2012, I smelled strong gas fumes in my kitchen which IS by my carport. I went outside to check and see where the overwhelming smell was coming from. Time I stepped out the door to my carport where my van IS parked, I went to my 2002 pontiac montana minivan and began looking and sniffing around and under it. To my shock and surprise there was a puddle of gas on the ground from gas leaking out of the fuel tank where the inlet connects to the fuel tank. I began to panic and cry because I was afraid of anything that could ignite or start a fire and the exposure to the fumes that would endanger my family. I immediately called my mechanic for help and he can over to look at the problem. He informed me that the valve connection between the inlet and tank was leaking. He then went online to check on a possible part for the fuel tank and came across a recall check. We both read the information and I called pontiac on monday september 10,2012 and explained to them my deepest concern about the leak from my fuel tank. They contacted a dealer and he talked with a area representative, she said my special warranty expired july 27, 2012 for 10 years or 150,000 miles claiming they sent it out in january 30, 2008 in which I never received at all. At the dealer I got a estimated replacement fuel tank price at $800.00 including labor cost. The area representative offered at first $1500.00 toward a new car, then offered to pay half the cost of a fuel tank and labor. I now need advice to move forward with this matter as soon as possible. *tr

I own a 2002 pontiac montana extended version. I noticed a strong smell of gas coming from the rear of the vehicle and upon further investigation, I found that the fuel tank was wet from gasoline under fuel tank inlet tube. I searched the internet for recalls and found nhtsa campaign # 07v349000 which had the description of the problem I had. I brought the vehicle to the dealership and was initially told that the problem was covered under this recall and the tank was removed and a new gas tank was ordered. I was called by the service manager the next day and I was told that my vehicle was not covered under this recall because it was the extended model and I was told that it could be repaired for $1,100.00. I asked the service manager if this was the same problem that was covered under the recall and he replied that it appeared to be, but that the extended length montana was not covered under the recall. I had the dealership install the old tank and called the manufacturer and received the same answer. *tr

When it does not it IS because it shows empty and the warning bell IS ringing. Turning off the car and restarting it stops the bell ringing and the gauge shows full again. I am searching the web to find a fix for this and I find many mentions of the problem by owners who have not fled a complaint with your office. this van also IS in need of a heater core replacement, a problem that started last year in early 2008. *Tr

I bought 2002 pontiac montana used in dec. 2008. first the radio display went completely out. Then as I was pulling into a parking lot the car shut off by itself... It started back up again but I was in traffic and almost caused three cars to crash. Then I noticed that my driver's side brake light went out, and a week later the passenger side brake light went out. I have bought replacement bulbs and it still does not work (the bar on top IS working). the radio/ clock display IS just an inconvenience but brake lights... They are important! I am bringing to the dealer today to inspect. I see there are many many complaints for this and should not be overlooked!!! I have my family to protect! *Tr

Subject vehicles are available with an optional power sliding door.the interior handle IS oriented in the vertical position in the door panel and lines up at the elbow level when the occupant IS seated in the 2nd-row outboard position.if the occupant holds the interior handle in the thumb up position during power-assisted opening, the arm/wrist can be push back with force against the 2nd-row bucket seat or captain's chair seat back creating a risk of injury (other seating configurations have ample seat to door clearance to avoid entrapment of the lower arm).among the 103 total reports, there were 102 alleged injuries including arm/wrist, thumb and shoulder injuries.a count of injuries reveals that 76 injuries were a fractured or a broken arm/wrist requiring an immobilizing cast for four-to-six weeks.all injuries involve the right side power sliding door.the left side power sliding door IS on far fewer vehicles, but more importantly, it produces less force.gm notified the agency by letter dated december 21, 2004, that it will recall model year 1997 though early 2005 gm u-van vehicles equipped with a right side power sliding door and with 2nd-row bucket seats or captain chairs (nhtsa recall #04v597).as part of the recall remedy, gm will replace the door handle with a flush mounted handle that will prevent an occupant from grasping the handle with the palm between the handle and door panel (thumb up orientation) and thus eliminate the potential for arm/wrist entrapment.this investigation IS closed.
