  Montana, Big MO - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By jeep. - May 26 - 2:00 am

  The Montana overall has been a pretty good van. WE have realy enjoyed the great looks & stylish body design. The Koons dealership has been very helpful to me. I would give them an A raiting.

  Little flaws that drive me crazy! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Minivan Mom - May 24 - 10:00 am

  We take our Montana back to the dealership to fix something once every two months. Ive had old junkers that have needed less service! In the first year, it was recalled 5 times - twice for the automatic door, twice for the rear seatbelt and once for the GPS. The little things drive me crazy - broken drink holder,burnt out light in the radio, airbag light that keeps coming on, oil change indicator that wont turn off, module for headsets that comes completely out of the counsel when you remove the headset, broken strap for the rear hatch etc. Ive always owned Toyotas and I think Ill go back after this vehicle.

  Run Away! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By jtexas - May 21 - 10:00 am

  Run away from this vehicle as fast as you can. Bought new, loved the features, but then the problems started. Power sliding door opened while vehicle in motion! Fixed by recall, but then 2 months later same problem, dealer wanted us to pay for repair! Raised heck and GM covered it. Intermitent electrical faults. Consumed 2 quarts oil per 3,000 miles; GM says this is "normal" consumption. Then I found oil in the coolant; discovered this is a cronic problem with this engine which GM refused to acknowlege.

  2003 Pontiac Montana - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By kpersinger - April 26 - 11:40 am

  I have had my montana for almost 3 years and now have 70,000 miles on it. I have not had any trouble with my van.It handles and runs great. I just wish it had a built in DVD center. I have rear air and rear audio controls which has been a lifesaver for me and the kids on long trips. The kids love the van. I like it too just wish it had better gas mileage. From the sounds of some reviews I am lucky. Also it would be nice if there were more cupholders

  The van has been great. Drives nice in all weather. All have plenty of room, even bringing extra kids. Easy to park and load. Not a hint of trouble yet...

  By very mad - March 24 - 8:33 pm

  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.

  Satisfied Buyer - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Saundra Lockhart - February 28 - 1:53 am

  I bought my 99 Montana new as a demo. I bought the extended warranty bumper to bumper for 100,000 miles. I did have transmission problems at 95,000 miles but the repairs were covered under the warranty. That was the only major repair. Now it has 145,000 miles and I still drive it every day. Most of the miles are city driving, but I also make cross country trips every year. Now I am giving this Montana to my son who starts college this fall. I will buy a new car.
