  Another customer GM Has lost!!!! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Wallman - May 22 - 2:00 am

  I Have owned over 40 cars, & have always had a least one GM product for the last 27 years(mostly pontaics). The build quality & responce from GM on this vechile has led me to never buy another GM product!!!Intake manifold leaks, Poor transmission, Brake problems, power door problems, etc. & very lousy service and responce. I Contacted Pontaic and they do not know how to treat customers. They will continue to lose market share until they make better cars.

  Ready to trade - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By rooster - May 14 - 10:00 am

  We have had it in the shop five times since we bought it. Twice for the van not starting (both times had to have it towed), twice for power sliding door problems (recall opener, then a short in wiring), once for shorted coolent sensor. If not for the reliability problems, we like the van.

  Pontiac Montana has a few discomforts - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By pontiac montana - May 6 - 3:43 pm

  Our experience was good until at 11,000 miles an awful harmonic sound began occuring at highway speeds of 65-75 mph. Dealer could not locate it and we all directed it to the replacement of the passenger side headlamp but to no avail. After 3 visits to dealer,and 3000 miles, it was discovered that noise "probably" taking place in drivers side door as we placed a handkerchief on the weatherstrip by the mirror and it ceased completely for 1500 miles. But the sound is attempting to return but not as painful as before. Plastic door trim on each side appears loose and causes concerns of faulty installation.We miss the lights that stay on on our dodge caravan as well as the door locked sound

  Love the room...watch out for manifold - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Cold Weather Guy - April 28 - 8:26 pm

  Bought this van when we started having a family...its a perfect family vehicle. The EXT offers seating for 8 AND room for cargo. Have used it like a truck (with seats out) and of course as the family vanster on extended trips... have really been pleased with everything - except chronic problems with the intake manifold gasket. Original plastic part couldnt be torqued properly... extreme temp changes in northern climates led to expansion/contraction which caused leaks. Replaced manifold gasket at 47,000 and again at 66,000 mi (thankfully before antifreeze could gum up engine). GM has re-engineered the part (and assure this chronic problem has been fixed)... the second repair GM paid 80%.)

  It just wont die - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By L Kampf - March 18 - 7:46 pm

  My Montana has 430000 K on it and and its still driving with out any problems, and its not like we took very good care of it. The mechanic bet us that if we dident take it for an oil change every 10000k it would die before 100000k, suffice to say he owes use 4 dinners now. All the interior instrumints are broken/ falling appart. The screne for the radio/ clock wont work. knobs on the rear fan speed fell off at 120000k but in the end people who buy vans really are not looking for anything that can get them and their cargo/ passengers from point A to point B, and this van is fantastic on it.

  Still Liking It - 2004 Pontiac Montana
  By Evie - February 20 - 9:43 am

  Never had any mechanical issues at all. Good on mileage as driven on long trips frequently. Longest trip I drove in this van was over 7000 km and never had issues with weight of luggage and tenting supplies packed in the back. Am very satisfied with my vehicle so far. Wished it didnt have such a limited load weight for pulling a camper trailer. Leaves little choice as to what type of camper trailer to pull as max towing without the optional towing package for 2 adults and gear is 2000 lbs.

  Good Van - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By ISU FAN - February 8 - 10:00 am

  So far it has been a good, solid van. Love the sporty design and gas mileage. Much better van than a Caravan at a similar price. Windshield wipers are poor, but otherwise everything else is good. Also like the parking aid and stereo.
