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

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 E
