This is a addon from the previous one I submitted just now. I want to point out. I was almost killed when I ran out of gas on the highway, because the gas gauge read incorrectly. When the engine become hot, it almost started a fire. I am a single parent with a ten year old. Dealers are still selling these Pontiac Montana's. we do not know how many deaths it may have already caused. Or how many women and children were stranded, because the gas gauge reads incorrectly, it will say its full but it is actually empty. The condensers go, which cause a blown head gasket. I cannot afford to replace the motor, and I already put out close to a thousand dollars already. The first month I bought it from a dealer. Every owner has had the same exact problem. Every owner. Here is one of the websites I did not realize every owner of a Pontiac Montana all had same problems. Every owner. Here is one of the websites. forums.edmunds.com/discussion/comment/3340529. you can google Pontiac Montana complaints and their are hundreds of website complaints on the same exact problem. But GMC refused to recall since the complaints first started.

I did not realize every owner of a Pontiac Montana all had same problems. Every owner. Here is one of the websites. forums.edmunds.com/discussion/comment/3340529. the dealer sold me a Pontiac Montana. The second day I drove it, I ran out the gas because the gas gauge read full, but actually it was empty. I did not realize the gas gauge stops working until every owner had the same problem. Every owner had a condenser problem. Every owner. Which in turn makes the head gasket go. I am a single parent and did not understand that numerous calls to GMC were made and no recalls has been done. It is shameless, how people like me are struggling and these car dealers made billions with faulty equipment. If you google Pontiac complaints. Every owner had the same problem. Every owner. I cant afford to replace a motor because of the head gasket. I am still making payments on this car loan. Isn't their a law that can help victims like us. It should be shameful how GMC has sold Pontiac vehicles with so many faulty equipment. I need help. If every single owner had the same condenser, same, heating problem, same gas gauge, same blown head gasket as a result. Pontiac GMC should be forced to pay.

The car would start missing, like there was a short in the electrical and then the car would shut off the and I would have to sit there for 1 to 2 hrs and then it would start and run for a while and shut off again, the last 2 times this happen I had to have a tow truck pick it up and take it to my home where it has sat ever seance 2008.
