  Montana - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By tricanis - April 15 - 12:20 am

  A shame that GM cannot make a more reliable vehicle! This would have been a great vehicle had we not had to take it to the service department once every other month. On average for 7 years of ownership I spent $650 per year out of pocket in repair costs. I had over $ 4500 in receipts that I turned in when I got ride of the montana. Yes....We purchased a Odyssey.

  Save your Money - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By unhappy buyer - February 15 - 7:13 pm

  I have had to alternators installed, both front stabilizer bars installed, power rear window bracket installed, does not have a lot of power to get onto the freeways. The air conditioning does not work all the time, it cuts in and out ( more out than in ) in traffic, better to open the windows. I have been a GM buyer for a long time but after this one I think I will change.

  This is crap from a lemon! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Mike - December 16 - 1:36 am

  We bought it with 50,000 km on it and in the first month the brakes had to be done and the heater fan went. Very uncomfortable if your over 6. Cloth seats stain badly, nice whistle sound at freeway speed, 20,000 km later brakes are gone again, tranny hesitates, slider doors dont close properly, center fold up consul was thrown out the first day, ext. trim falling off, electronics malfunctioning on a regular basis.

  Gasket Problems - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Bourgo - October 18 - 2:00 am

  Have had many troubles with this vehicle. It only has 41k and we have replaced intake gasket and now the head gasket needs replacing at $822 plus $48 for the diagnostic. The inside is very noise and lots of interior plastic cracking nosies. The headlight range is very poor and the exterior plastic for two-tone effect is coming apart. However, this is a good highway vehicle for long trips, but engine problems at 41k is rather upsetting.

  Do Not buy GM - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By NetNut - July 13 - 5:46 pm

  I brought this van in Sep05. The ENGINE has been replaced 2 times. The Low Oil Presure Message and the ABS light are still coming on once a while. The gas gauge is fluctuating. The dealer still does not know how to fix it. DO NOT BUY GM.

  rattles noises and squeeks - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By boots - May 17 - 2:00 am

  The slider doors squeek. The tailgate squeeks and rattles!!! Brake lines, etc. rattle underneath. Annoying squeek in the front end. Every day there is a new noise.

  AVOID! - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By Awfabee - March 12 - 12:03 pm

  Bought the AWD because we were moving out to the country. It was a company lease return, impeccably maintained. As soon as the warranty expired, we IMMEDIATELY suffered the infamous GMC intake manifold gasket debaucle. Since then, nothing but problems, mostly with the wheel hubs, bearings, and ABS/AWD sensors. Turns out a vehicle named "MONTANA" with AWD cant handle a bumpy gravel road. Worst vehicle weve ever owned... period.

  Depressing - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By MontanaBlues - February 26 - 2:00 am

  Ours is a 2001, has 22000 miles on it. What has gone wrong? Where do I begin. The oil pan leaked and needed repair after 4500 miles; the power slider was recalled - "repaired" and then had to be repaired again at 6000 miles; the engine leaked antifreeze around 9000, needing new hoses; the transmission overheated while towing an ALUMINUM fishing boat (oh yeah, we have the "towing" package), and the thing squeaks and rattles so bad we sometimes think some of the structural welds have failed. We will never return to a GM minivan. The Odyssey or new Quest look good for us.

  Bad Choice - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Unhappy owner - February 4 - 6:53 am

  I clearly made a bad choice by purchasing this vehicle (it happens). This has been in the shop more times than I care to count (tires, electrical, dvd player, both stabalizer bars, radio quit), the problems are endless and it only had 40,000 miles on it. Cant wait to see whats to come ! At least they dont make it anymore, and spare someone else the frustrations.
