  This is a list of the things that went wrong with the vehicle since 2-05: Alternator replaced (going to be recalled) 11-05 Left crankcase seal (dealer said its due to faulty build at plant) 11-05 All lettering fell off rear hatch (finally replaced 12-05) Rear hatch handle faulty (never fixed by dealer properly) Transmission slipping (dealer had found no evidence of this) Tracking system engaged during dry Texas weather, locking up the wheels and making van undrivable unless you turned off the tracking system. Happened 1-1-06 when nobody could help us. Stability tracking system service message on (dealer on 2nd try found a short in the computer which made wheels lock up.

  It will do - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By bdp - March 12 - 9:23 am

  I read the other reviews about the wind noise, yes that was bothersome, but by using a little silicone down the drivers side rubber weather strip, problem solved. I do though have a leakage of some kind on the drivers side on the inside, my floor mate is soaked and I cannot figure where the dampness is coming from, unless the A/C line to the rear is under the flooring? I have worn a hole in the flooring from the foot action while driving. I do drive alot and it has helped on gas expense. Last I have some sort of electrical problem with the temp gauge. At times after drive for a bit and then shutting down, the gauge will max out. I have to turn the ignition switch back and forth rapidly.

  I would buy it again - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Trisa - December 25 - 11:53 pm

  I use it like a work horse and it performs amicably. I works well for the family and all the stress children can place on a vehicle. The Montana Vision has made long trips tolerable with the kids.

  Its comfortable and affordable!!! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By snjmilly@aol.com - November 25 - 10:00 am

  This is my first mini van and I absolutely love it. We have taken it on several long distance road trips and the comfort and accessibility to the second and third rows is wonderful. I dont know who enjoys driving it more, me or my husband! It is very comfortable.

  What ive looked for In a Van - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By ZipperZ - July 16 - 7:53 am

  I purchased this minivan in Feb of 2005 I already owned a Montana minivan but I saw this and just fell in love with it. Its every thing I had been looking for. The SUV look with the room of the van. If one word could describe how I feel about my Montana would be WOW!

  this vehicle has plenty to offer. It has surpassed my expectations. Roomy interior and practical environment. Stands out in the "mini- van" category.

  Rattle trap - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Marky61 - February 5 - 4:06 pm

  This is the last of the old-style Montanas, sold in Canada as a 2005 model. I was attracted to the low price (used) - half the cost of an Odyssey or Sienna. I had also heard the bad head gasket had been solved. Ours had about 42,000 miles on it when we bought it. It has performed well over the past year, though we had to replace a bad front wheel bearing, the rubber door gaskets came loose and the wind stretched the drivers door hinges (fixed at our local college). Recently replaced the crap General tires with Michelins and vastly improved the ride and noise; gas mileage is better too. The one thing we cant address are the rattles in the sliding doors. Overall, great value in a used van.

  I Came Back, Glad I Did!!! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Roger - January 15 - 9:10 pm

  I had a 99 Montana. Loved it. But when the lease was up, I traded it for a Rendezvous. Big mistake. It was a long 3 years! Ive had my 2005 SV6 since March 1st. Its wonderful. It rides better, handles better, has fewer blind spots, than the Buick. Im so glad I came back to Pontiac.

  GM Again - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By rsv6 - November 1 - 10:10 am

  I traded in my 99 Suburban, against my wifes wishes(!) because it was costing too much to operate. The SV6 was the perfect replacment. We took the 1SA package, because I could not pass up the deal. The dealer had loaded units available, but I really didnt all the extra items. I only wish that every option didnt come in a package. It would be nice to have rear window defroster without having to spend $2200 for everything else that come with it!

  Rolling Movie House - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Pierre S. - August 30 - 7:40 pm

  The front driver/passenger have a fairly good ride Transmission is smooth with plenty of motor power. Misleading ads when it comes to available storage space, compared to the previous models. This model is drifting away from its true mission of what a mini van should stand for. It was poorly conceived to carry baggage with the seats folded. There is a need to increase the size door pockets to storage. This model has too much for for movie goers, with 4 oversized hardplastic headset holders poorly located for passagers own comfort, 2 pop-corn table with plenty of pop holders. The passagers second row of seat has a lot to be desired with restricted leg room. They did away with fog lights
