The contact owns a 2006 Pontiac Montana. The contact stated that the transmission failed. As a result, the vehicle decelerated and jerked violently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. In addition, the contact stated that the fuel cap failure light and engine warning light illuminated. The independent mechanic replaced the fuel cap several times; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,000.

Transmission locks up in park when parked and can not be released until the vehicle is pushed while someone is pulling down on the shift lever. Results in being stranded unless someone is available to push.

We've been having an issue with the van decelerating on its own and having to lay down on the gas to get it going again. Still havn't found out what it is. Now our "AWD disabled" light came on. This worries me because we live in mn and have terrible roads in the winter. That is one reason we bought this van is for the AWD.
