  8 years ... $0 in repairs - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By pjk - February 1 - 8:56 pm

  Knock on wood. So far our "99" Pontiac Montana has been just about flawless and has not cost us one red cent in repairs so far. We bought it new and are very pleased with this Van. We had some minor problems that were fixed when taking it in for inspections at not cost to us. We had a minor leak in the rear hatch.. one of the seat switches was replaced which we really didnt know was bad and the sliding door was recalled to have it recalibrated the door has never failed. The van still looks like new and still has its original exhaust. We get a easy 25 mpg on the road. We will be buying a new vehicle next year... we will most likely buy another GM v

  Hoping they will make it right...... - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Not happy in NC - January 31 - 2:00 am

  Van has been in shop 3 times in two weeks. My ABS light came on and the AWD disengaged was told not to drive it. Hauled in on a flat bed. Dealer tried turning off lights I drove it less than a mile and the lights came back on. I and drove it back in, they cleaned the sensor head, I drove it 40 miles the brakes locked up and lights came back on. Hauled it in again. They tell me now it is ready and they were told by GM to replace the hub on the left front wheel and something else was replaced but Im not sure what. Told it was fixed. Well see.

  why buy a lemon? - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By montanajoke - January 22 - 3:00 pm

  I would not give anyone a plug nickle for one of these albatros of a "truck" Funny, they clasify this as a truck, and nothing is farther from the truth.GM should be ashamed for offering such a poor excuse for a minivan, and I am not surprised there is a lawsuit regarding the lower intake gasket. If they had any sack they would pony up and refund everyone $1000, which would be about 8 out of 10 owners, and they knew of the problem for years. The resale value is laughable. I have had 3 intake gaskets done and is leaking again. I would not advise my worst enemy to buy this boat anchor. Not too mention the small but numerous problems that have plauged our van from day one.

  Should Come With 10 Year Warranty - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Dave - January 2 - 7:40 am

  Roomy interior, comfortable seating and reasonably economic to operate (17 mpg city/24 mpg hwy). Now for the rest of the story. Have had to replace the intake gaskets twice (once under warranty and once out of my pocket) in less than 50K miles. Handles like a Hippo on roller skates. Worst headlights of any car Ive ever driven. A/C is week. GM must have bought the interior materials on closeout from Big Lots. Will likely NEVER buy another GM product. Should have paid the extra $ and bought the Toyota Sienna. Wife no longer trusts it enough to take it out of town.

  Wheres the quality control - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By seabeav - December 29 - 11:20 pm

  Bought the new SV6 due to the expanding family. Looked at others but none except ford/mercury included the expanded features for a reasonable price. While I like the apperance and the creature comforts of the SV6, and the drive is typical of a minivan thats all there is to be happy or content with. My vehicle has been in the shop 4 times over the first 3 months for various reasons including a faulty aligned door, replacement of a rear sliding door motor, replacement of a door handle, replacement of body molding, steering well casing replacement, windshield stripping replacement, and a dead battery. Highway noise (wind) on this vehicle is terrible. Recommend pay extra $ for better quality

  not happy - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By nothappy - December 27 - 8:16 am

  Loved the van when we first bought it, but several things have happened since then. The transmission has slipped either going from park to drive or taking off from a stoplight/stopsign. Almost all of the decals have fallen off on the rear hatch. The battery also quit on us. Now I feel we are stuck until we get caught up payment wise to merit selling or trading in on another vehicle.

  Excellent Value - Great Used Car! - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Jim - December 14 - 10:53 pm

  I purchased my loaded Montana that was gently used by a retired couple. The car was showroom clean with about 27,000 miles. It currently just broke 80,000 miles (an average of 12k/year). The van has done everything Ive asked it to do. It had industry/segment leading cargo capacity and volume at the time. Its driving dynamics are excellent for a van. It was much better than the previous generation Toyota Sienna we compared it to. I think it will bring me many years of reliable service. I plan to keep it until about 220,000 miles. Buy one of these severly depreciated vehicles at a fire sale price and you wont be disappointed. Ive had minor problems not worth mentioning.
