  Do not buy this vehicle - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By Mike - June 9 - 3:40 am

  This is the worst vehicle I have ever own and I have been driving for 28 years. The front end has been repaired twice, the interior stains with WATER, yes water. There is no leg room between the driver and middle row of seats. The middle row is so close that the seats cannot fold forward as the head rest hits the front seats. Sometimes it doesnt turn over for no reason. The only good thing is that Im trading it this week for a Ford Fusion. I hate this car so much that Im even taking a payout loss of $7000.00. DO NOT BUY THIS VAN.

  So glad to be rid of it!!!! - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By stlbluesfan - April 28 - 7:13 am

  What a piece of crap. Bought it used in 2007 with 34000 miles on it. Nothing but problems. Replaced the steering column after 1 year ($570), went through 2 sets of rotors (could not be turned, had to be replaced), front sway bars bad, wheel bearings bad, wouldnt start most of the time on first try, check engine light on intermittently, transmission starting to hard shift, sliding door stuck open more than once, rear windshield wiper motor burnt out, much much more...too much to keep listing here. All with only 86250 miles on it and regular service and maintenace. Traded it in on a 2007 Honda CR-V and could not be happier. Will never buy another GM product!!!

  Disappointed - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By clatimri - January 27 - 4:30 am

  I really thought this would be a great family vehicle. I bought it used with only 9000 miles on it.The front end needed many things replaced. The ride....very rough in the driver seat. Rode in the back with children, it was the most uncomfortable seat I ever sat in. The bucket seats..cheap..material leaves terrible ring stains from even water....those seats were uncomfortable too. The rode noise was horrible. We always had to turn radio up or dvd player up louder to hear it. I have always been a dedicated gm buyer..........no more pontiac vehicles for me.

  Never Again - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By Never Again - September 21 - 6:26 am

  Waterstained seats. rust-stained exterior paint. crappy tires, shocks replaced, brakes replace, load sensor blown, transmission shot all under 55K miles. I have brought this back to the dealer so many times it is ridiculous! I bought a new car/van so I wouldnt have mechanic bills - and, the bills keep mounting. There is no excuse for the lousy fabric they use for interiors; they know its an issue and no one cares. ALL DONE BUYING GM PRODUCTS. NEVER AGAIN!!

  Never Again - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By Not Happy - October 26 - 11:03 am

  Bought this van with excitement and now cant wait to dump it. Fuel economy is horrible (Average 17 highway) and keep getting message that the All-wheel drive is disabled. Had it in the shop five times and they say nothing is the matter with it. Had to buy new tires for it because the ball joint in the passenger front went bad and tore up the tires. A joint in the steering column had to be replaced and when you apply the brakes, the whole van shutters. To top it all off, the interior stains horribly with just water. Not impressed.

  Never again GM - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By Ger - July 18 - 7:40 am

  Bought this car NEW and found out it had over 500 miles on it. Major problems with front end, alternator, brakes, rear wiper. Then had a total engine failure 750 KM from home. Two days after paying for $1900 to service it) GM paid for a rebuilt( at 50,000 KM) engine but is refusing to pay for a rental car as we stayed a few nights with relatives while waiting for the local dealership open over a long weekend.

  Junk heap only - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By Judy - April 4 - 9:16 am

  I purchased a 2006 Pontiac S6 as a repo from a bank in June 2008. It had 43,000 miles on it. Within a week of purchasing, it had "service stability soon". Front hub was bad - $525. I was also told there were 13,000 these parts on back-order. No recall tho. Back brake pads had to be replaced & rotors turned. Front needs it too. Seats stain from water. Tonight I drove to my sisters and I swear Im riding a broncing buck. Have no idea whats wrong. Im sure its big bucks whatever it is. This is why I drove Toyotas for 20 years and will probably never drive another American product and the big 3 wonder why theyre in trouble.

  Lemon - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By mom of 3 - July 14 - 12:06 pm

  We have had this car in the dealership service 15 times in 1 year with no resolve. It drives horrible with transmission or fuel pump like problems. Nobody seems to have any clue as to what is wrong with it or how to fix it.

  A big worry on wheels - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By think twice - September 12 - 3:00 am

  I bought this vehicle as a certified used product. Only one thing was for certain and that was problem after problem.The front end was basically replaced because of the severe shuttering. This included replacement of both front hubs and tie rods. Since replacement the problem has returned over about 5000 miles.The brakes also shuttered when applied.I had the brakes reworked with the same results.All work was done at dealership under warranty.Now my warranty has expired and Im left with a Very unreliable vehicle.I bought this van to travel with my family.Now I worry taking it out of my neighborhood. The ignition sticks, the drivers side slider door has to be slammed to close properly, the engine...

  Ripped off - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By ANGRY - February 1 - 9:36 am

  I am very disappointed in this minivan. I bought only 4 months ago, have had it in the service dept 8 times with sliding door problems, overhead console breakage, bounce in front end, starter is messing up, and got a message "service due soon". I have 1800 miles on vehicle. I got ripped off royally, being a woman they took advantage and dumped a bad car on me. I was talked into buying it before I knew it was a 2006, 2 year old van being sold as new. I was given a phony story by the salesman. I think they saw me coming with "Sucker" written on my forehead! I am thoroughly disappointed in it and the dealership attitude about it. Service dept helpful & nice, but I wish I had my Dodge van back!
