We have 1999 montana with appox. 57,000 miles and the intake gasket has failed. i have been a di-hard pontiac/gmc buyer all my life, but after my last two vans we decided to purchase a ford. i had nothing but trouble with my 1996 transport and traded it for our 1999 montana. i love my montana, but the carbon knocking in embarrassing and now we are being charged over $600.00 for a problem that gm knows exists. i was about to purchase another vehicle in the gm family until this week. they are offering $1500 in "loyalty cash" we have been loyal! where is gm's loyalty!!! my next car will most like be a non-gm model thanks to gm's loyalty!!!!!  view

I heard noises coming from and grinding associated with the rolling down of front driver's side window on my 1995 bmw 318i. it finally failed to properly up and i had to take it to the dealership. the dealer told me it was the window regulator and replaced it at a cost of $500. after checking message boards on-line i discovered that this is a very common problem. many people stated that the regulators had gone out on all of the windows on various bmw models.  view

I purchased my 1999 ford explorer in may of 2004 and within a month, i began experiencing problems with my transmission. more specifically, the vehicle would loose power while driving, the transmission could be heard shifting and also shifting movement was felt while driving. i took the vehicle back to rio valley in espanola, new mexico where i paid cash ($8700.00) and was told that i did not purchase the warranty and my vehicle needed a new transmission and it would cost me $3200.00 to have it repaired. i complained and was told that my gasket was sealed with a sealant that went in to my gaskets and damaged my solenoid. i has just taken it for a transmission oil change and thought well that could be, however, after talking to the owner of hindi's oil stop, i felt certain that this was not the cause. rio valley ford did clean out the transmission a couple of times and charged me $340.00 and i was told that this was basically going to have a band-aid effect and i would ultimately need to get my transmission fixed. it was getting me around for awhile but lately the same shifting noises and feelings i had heard and felt are recurring. my overdrive light also goes of and on continuously sometimes while i am driving the vehicle.  view
