  Junker - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By michigan - October 6 - 10:00 am

  Purchased new in 10/98 and traded 5/2002. It was loaded and we used it for travel. Had 65,000 primarily highway miles when traded. Had to have a new transmission at 48,000 miles and continual power door problems for 2 years. I had intended to keep but got tired of electical problems eg drivers power window and power door, shaking, bouncy ride. Glad to get rid of it. Always had it serviced at the dealership and they were good.

  12 years and still running - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By cpa0217 - October 3 - 6:46 am

  I bought my Montana new 12 years ago. It currently has 172,000 miles on it. Overall, I have been very happy with it, but I have had a couple of moments. Ive had to replace the intake gasket twice - clearly an issue with this vehicle! Everything else was a result of age & normal wear & tear.

  Auto door is great to have for those kids that are faster than you to the van. Alot of power, cruise control will keep speed up any hill. Being able to move seats around to fit the family is wonderful. ONSTAR is the best when you have locked your keys in at the local Wal-Mart.

  2000 Montana Extended Van - 2000 Pontiac Montana

  Should have bought Japanese! Good, comfy vehicle (kind of like riding a sofa!) When I had to replace intake manifold gasket it cost about $1000 because of labor! Any more repairs and I am trading! Look at Siennas, Oddyseys or MPVs and save yourself the trouble!

  Worst Vehicle Ever - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By KD Coughlan - September 5 - 7:16 pm

  Traded 02 Montana, first day knew I had made big mistake. Alternator, air conditioning, CD player, OnStar, side doors, first year 14 times in for service. Will never purchase another GM product. This vehicle is unsafe. Unfortunately, it is worth nothing. Anyone that does not agree with this does not realize the poor quality of this vehicle. On my third set of tires, cannot keep an alignment on it. Also just replaced brakes for the third time. I am not a reckless driver. Car dealers will not even accept these vehicles on trade in, will have to give it away. Buy a Toyota, I know I will be from now on.

  I drive a lot... - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Rolling Rock - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Seems to be buggy. The dealer cant figure out whats wrong. Horn honks periodicaly on its own, Car battery is dead, once jumped its fine. The interior is poor quality. Didnt offer leather in 8 seating option. Pontiac exterior is black, interior is gray and is too light in color to keep clean. They should offer charcoal interior.

  Flickering Lights - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By gadget - August 19 - 2:00 am

  Occasionally when we drive at night, the headlights, tailights and interior instrument panel lights will quickly flicker (blink). Weve brought it back to the dealership a couple of times, but they dont know whats causing the flickering. They refuse to check or change the alternator and /or voltage regulator. Very frustrating............

  George review - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Geo - August 18 - 12:23 pm

  Cold --- even in a mild climate, you freeze if the temp gets below 10. Windows frost over at any temp below 40, defrost doesnt help. Why RED dash display?? Weve known since 1970 when watches with red led displays came out... YOU CANT SEE RED LED DISPLAYS IN SUNLIGHT!.... RED DISPLAY IS USELESS IN SUN LIGHT. Seats do not fold out of the way. Front windshield needs to be made thicker, first hit with a peace of flying gravel, good buy window. Headgasket leaks, wheel bearing out at 80000 miles. I would expect this from a CHRYSLER product. And not last or least.... what it the engine thermostat doing imbeeded so far down in the engine it takes 3 hours repair time and a $250.00 bill to replace it?

  Fun ride for kids=Relaxing drive for us! - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By KGeysbeek - August 12 - 10:00 am

  We got the Thunder package along with all the bells an whistles. I didnt intend to spend quite as much as we did but 0% interest allowed us to get everything we wanted. The seats are comfortable except the arm rest could be wider. The kids love the DVD player and they no longer feel "stuck" in their car seats for the trip to grandmas. The ride is very smooth but we were driving a Blazer so the change is more noticable. Almost bought a MPV but the seats were not as comfortable and we thought the extra space in the Montana could come in handy in certain situations. I think we will keep this van for a long time.
