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.

Thank you in advance for your help. In 1995, we bought a Pontiac Transport minivan. It has 55,000 miles on it. Since then, we have endured three power window motor failures. This strikes us as a clear manufacturer's defect with possible safety implications. In that my wife drives 4 children to school nearly every day, we are concerned about the ability to exit the vehicle in the event of an emergency. In effect, we no longer have confidence in the vehicle. We have tried to get Pontiac's local zone personnel to respond to no avail. Perhaps you can help. My questions are: 1) has Pontiac (or a GM sister division such as Chevrolet or Oldsmobile) had broader problems with this component, 2) is it a safety concern where we need to get a new vehicle to protect our children and the children they car pool with? 3) do you have any suggestion regarding ways to get GM to pay any attention to our concerns?
