  • ? on transfer case & transmission - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    New Car-heard a faint hum in engine when accelerating after having the van for 7 months,dealership found no reason for it. Within 1 year of owning the van, something broke in the transfer case which affected the transmission (could have been the hum we were hearing) Dealership replaced both. 7 months later, the same thing happened while driving, a popin engine area, then noise when leaving off the accelerator of some-thing broken in the transfer case. We currently are waiting for GM to replace the transfer case and transmission a second time.

  • Will never buy it again - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    We drive a lot and buy a new vehicle every three years. Own this van for more than two years. Went through three major repairs: engine head gasket, cooliing system(Condensor) and now ABS module. Each repair costs more than thousand dollar. So what ever GM rebate is, dont be lured to think to buy it, because eventually you will use the saving from rebate to pay for the repair.

  • Its a FamVan, what can you expect... - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    I have been driving the 2002 Pontiac Montana for 4.5 years. I made the purchase after renting a Montana for a road trip from Colorado to Florida in 2001. It has been functional for my family and the kids have really enjoyed the MontanaVision.

  • Great For a Minivan - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    I purchased this van with 22k on it, the dealership used it as there courtesy vehicle. No problems with anything. For a minivan its sporty, handles well, easy with kids. The seating is a nice touch. The middle row buckets are great. The power is good for a mini-van. With a price 1000s less then a Toyota or Honda, it was an easy choice.

  • Ive owned 4 TransSports & Montanas! - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    Drives well, good milage. My 2001 gets 21mpg, yet my 1996 TransSport gets 25mpg in urban driving. Very comfortable, but devalues quickly, especially if your Montana gets totaled. MY STRONGEST ADVICE is to get what is called "gap insurance" which will cover any delta there is between what you get from the insurance company and what you still owe!

  • Satisfied but could be better - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    Pleased with the features,space,seating&comfort. Engine is just NOT powerful enough for the size of this van. Sluggish on accleration& VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE. Rear a/c roars like a beast. Exterior paint job has flaws from factory(not a quality paint job) & front wiper system is just awful, because snow & ice accumulate but have nowhere to go, causing the wipers to freeze up in inclement weather. But overall despite the flaws, we are pleased that it offers enough space for our family, friends and gear, and has a comfortable ride.

  • Good van when its not in the shop - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    Bought used in jan 2005. Replaced rdm the first month. Steering rack alternator head gaskets a/c compressor evaporator coil wheel bearings x 3, 2 instances of broken wires to speed sensors replaced fluid in rdm replaced actuator for awd function. Good thing I was able to purchase the extra warranty. 2 bad I didnt get the 4 year plan.

  • Great for the Family - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    We made a trip to DC in December and it was a wonderful experience. Our kids were content the entire drive. I loved the amount of options that this vehicle has. The ride and feel of the vehicle was confortable and crisp. The gas mileage was as good as the mileage we got in our 99 Bravada and this is a bigger vehicle. I drove this vehicle all winter and NEVER felt it slip or mishandle. I swapped the tires that came on the vehicle for Goodyear tires. They are fantastic! Ricardo Leamon of Cleveland Heights Motorcars did an outstanding job of finding just the vehicle we wanted. I could not be happier with my Montana.

  • Montana Vans are worth the money - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    This has been a reliable van. We have not had any trouble with it mechanically or with things breaking off such as knobs, etc. We are in our van almost as much as our house. We are a family of six involved in soccer, baseball, school activities, etc. We have put a lot of miles on this vehicle and it is in great shape.

  • love our "new"/used 2002 Thunder - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    We recently purchased a 2002 Montana Thunder and its such a treat to drive, with the dvd, dual sliding doors, heated/power leather seats, rear ac/radio controls, etc., etc. The ONLY concern weve had is that the power sliding doors dont stop closing if a body is in the way..could see that as very dangerous for a smaller child. Also love the rear park aid warning signal!!!! This was a lease return with fairly low mileage and is in pristine condition. I find myself finding reasons to drive it! Anyone else have the Thunder edition package?
