PLEASE READ WHOLE PARAGRAPH BEFORE YOU BID..This auction is for a white 1999 Pontiac Montana Van with a clear title on hand that seats 7. It has one manual sliding door and one automatic sliding door. I believe the transmission went out on it over a year ago so I went to a junk yard and paid for another transmission...that transmission is STILL sitting in the trunk of the van...I havent had the time or money to pay for someone to take out the old transmission and put in the one I bought to replace it....the battery is dead from sitting so long (but it is a fairly new battery) but with a good charge it will crank up( We tried it this morning) but it will need a good full charge ...( I can put it on a charger overnight the day before pickup) its been several months since I last attempted to drive it...and last I tried to... it does still drive but it wont let you get too far before the transmission tries to act up again. Last time I drove it was to the DMV to get plates for it, I got all the way there with no problem, but on my way back it started acting up and then would only work in reverse .I had someone pick me up and when we came back prepared to tow it we found that it decided that it wanted to work again so I was able to drive it home...very confusing symptoms this van has to say the least...so I would like to sell the van including the extra transmission thats in the trunk to someone who not only needs a bigger vehicle but who can either fix it themselves or can afford to pay someone to put the other transmission in it if needed..if I had the time or money to fix a vehicle...I would fix the van for myself. For all I know the transmission in it may be just fine and I just dont know enough about cars to know what to do to repair it. The van has 152,024 miles on it currently..in addition to the transmission these are the only other things that I know are wrong with the van (there could be other things that I am unaware of): 1) sometimes the sliding door doesnt want to stay shut, it will close and then open right back up and I have to keep pushing the button to get it to finally stay closed. (I bought a few switches to replace it with from the junk yard as well). 2) There is a scratch/dent along the side of the van where my dumb behind thought I could squeeze between the van and the privacy fence with a riding lawn mower and the grass catcher on the back of the mower rubbed against the van, 3)passenger front power window will not roll down (bought switch for that as well at junk yard, all switches are in the van and included in this auction) 4) A/C needs to be recharged from sitting. 5) Cooling fan has been rigged to work by a mechanic friend of mine, he did it to save me from having to spend money I didnt have at the time to fix the fan. 6) There are some stains on some of the seats. Van being sold AS IS with NO RETURNS. I have listed all the things that I am aware is wrong with it and have purchased all items to repair or replace them with USED from a junkyard so there is no warranty on those either. The motor was overhauled/rebuilt about a year and a half before the transmission went out on me. Has decent tires.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
