  Good buy but dealer is less than helpful - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Maria M - May 10 - 10:00 am

  The van is great! Were having problems with the dealer not wanting to correct a brake problem we found when we bought it. Otherwise we like the van :)

  Fantastic Van. Really smooth, quiet and fuel efficient. Much nicer than the Toyota.

  The best family minivan weve owned - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By Laverne Marble - April 11 - 10:00 am

  The Montana was only a passing thought until we drove it. We were looking for an SUV but drove the Montana and we were hooked right away! It drives like a dream. Smooth and the undercoat kills road noise. The kids love the "Montanavision" I call it A Moms savior. We took our first trip as a family two days after we bought it and the kids were "seen and not heard". If you buy this vehicle, you will not be dissapointed!

  Beware of sliding door falling off!! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By NJ Montana owner - March 24 - 2:00 am

  Ive had this van for 3 1/2 yrs, 36k. No major problems until the drivers side sliding door fell right off as I went to close it. It was night time and 20 degress and I had a door in my hand. The dealership states the problem was due to excessive rust on the rollers causing rollers and hinge to break . GM states it was our fault because we didnt maintain our doors by having them lubricated every 15k. I have never heard of doors falling off because of lack of lubrication and I dont think a 3 1/2 yr old van should have excessive rust. This was a regular slider (non- powered) If anyone else has encountered this problem, please post it.

  A nice car - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By boblaca - March 22 - 10:00 am

  My ex worked for Toyota, so I drove new Toyotas for years. I was leary of a GM product, but it has been great. I had one problem with the fuel pump - it was towed for free and I was supplied with a free loaner under the warranty - I am somewhat baffled by the complaints I see. The cup holders arent great, but that isnt how I evaluate a car. The tires are about shot after 27K - maybe I should have rotated them once or twice. Duh.

  Repairs plus Repairs - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Kevin M. - February 17 - 12:10 am

  Just lost the tranny the other day with only 62,000 miles and most of the miles on the vehicle are highway miles. The heating system has been a disappointment from day one. Power Window and Door Locks have been more problems that what they are worth. Over $800 were spent on trying to diagnose why the service engine light was on, only to have it come on again and have the dealer say a valve is going out in the transmission, but it wont hurt to drive it - right? The van was religiously serviced but apparently the American quality just isnt there. I have a problem when you pay over $25,000 for a new vehichle and it has major system failures only after 62,000 miles.

  family van - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By druck4 - January 15 - 3:46 am

  We love our 2002 Montana, Never had a problem since we purchased it. The fuel mileage is great, 28 miles per on a trip 19 around town. Traction control works great , seating is comfortable and roomy. The DVD and sound system makes you feel like you are in a theatre. AC works great and all controls are easy to access. The engine could use a few more H.P. but is still very strong for the size. Motor never skips a beat and the oil is always nice and clean. The van handles like a sports car with the upgraded suspension, haulin heavy loads with the air supported suspension is awsome the vans rear never sags at all. Back up sensors are great for people who dont know when to stop. Super minivan!!!

  Great Van - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By freebiefan - January 7 - 11:03 pm

  I bought this van with over 200K miles on it. Ran extremely well when I bought it and lasted for almost 2 years w/o any problems. The 3.4 is the best anyone can ask for. I sold this at 260,000 miles. Still ran like a top. Fastest car Ive owned surprised everyone when I would step on it! Wow what a mini van!
