Pontiac Transport Problems
General Motors, the manufacturer of the Pontiac Transport, has issued multiple safety recalls due to problems that could cause accident or injury to drivers and passengers. Registered vehicle owners may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to determine if their minivans were recalled.
Steering Problems
General Motors recalled certain 1998 Pontiac Transports due to a manufacturing error that could cause steering difficulty. Drivers could have trouble steering left due to the pinion shaft shifting upward. Authorized dealers will replace lower pinion bearings in the power rack and pinion assembly to remedy this problem.
Door Problems
General Motors recalled certain 1998 and 1999 Pontiac Transports for a sliding door problem that could cause injury. These doors close, but sometimes dont latch. A follow-up recall addressed a problem with the interior handle used to open power sliding doors. These handles could injure a passengers arm if the door is manually opened while the door is also opened by the motor. Dealers will replace the affected latches and handles.
Air Bag Problems
General Motors recalled certain 1999 Pontiac Transports because the drivers side airbag inflation module could produce excess pressure and explode during a crash. Occupants of the vehicle could be injured by flying metal and plastic debris. Authorized dealers will replace the air bag module.
