  Can not keep it out of the shop - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By ryant - November 11 - 8:46 pm

  I like this car very comfortable and convenient. It fits all the kids and dogs without a problem. I have found out however lots of mechanical problems with the Engine after lots of $$$$ and many days in the shop just after the warranty expiration I have decided to dump it and go back to gas guzzling SUVs.

  Previous Car was a Bonneville - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By RonBliss - November 3 - 10:00 am

  Having recently expanded the family, we wanted something that could handle an extended ride with two kids and two dogs. The Montana had the best styling on the market and having owned a Bonneville with 200,000 miles on it I knew the Pontiac would hold up! The leather interior and DVD system make the vehicle fund to drive. The big surprise was the 3.4L V6 has more than enough performance!

  in need of more info - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By would like more info - October 3 - 2:00 am

  we bought this 8 passenger van used, we have found out it was a lease vehicle. Before our first months payment was due the vehicle was in the garage because the abs and trac cont service lights were on this was taken care of because we purchased the extended warranty-good thing. Then our next month it was back in because we could get no heat. I really love this van because of the space it provides but am curious as to the potential for further repairs when our service contract runs out. We now have a loud vibrating howl by the windshield.

  Dont Waste Your Money! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By NancyV1 - September 21 - 10:00 am

  This is the worst car Ive ever owned (have owned about 8). Transmission rebuilt at 45000 miles and still having same problems with it. Brakes are always going out on it, am having to have rotors turned or replaced around every 8 mos, and pads last about 5-6 mos. Problems with intake manifold. Car does not retain its value. Many other websites have complaints from owners too. Many other engine probs, including power steering problems, but running out of room...

  Rust, Rust, Rust!!!! - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By PC - September 6 - 1:40 am

  This vehicle has turned into a rust bucket. It started with the rocker panels on both sided from wheel to wheel where rust was eating away. I spent $1,000 to have them replaced at a nearby body shop. Next, the windshield cracked. The folks replacing my windshield said it cracked due to the frame rusting and bubbling, creating pressure on the windshield and cracking it. When I steam cleaned the carpet, rust comes up through the floor of the van. Im all for buying American made products, but after spending over $33,000 on this vehicle, I just can not afford to go out and buy another Pontiac. Ill look elsewhere.

  Great Van - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Montana Fan - September 4 - 10:00 am

  With over 100,000 miles, I have had remarkably few problems with the van, about the same as my Toyota van. Engine and transmission have been very reliable. I average 24 mpg! I dislike the cupholder arrangement (not practical), but love the variety of seating arrangements and the ease of reconfiguring. It ez to drive and park (the Honda Accord is longer) and very comfortable on long trips.

  2001 Pontiac Montana - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By Nick-Cassie - August 29 - 10:00 am

  Well, where do I start. Everything has gone wrong with the van. At first it was little things, the washer pump, the sliding door, the batterys positive cable corroded off. Then we had power steering problems, the front air went out, the rear air went out, the transmission was slipping so I took it to the dealership and they fixed certain parts in the transmission. By this time it was out of warranty so I had to pay to replace it. Then 2 months later the transmission went completely out. Needless to say, enough was enough and I just traded it for something else.

  Montana M2K - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By ams - July 28 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Montana new in 2000. It is feature rich, and definitely the best looking van on the market. Not bad power for a van. Interior quality is fair, lots of plastic. Cupholders are useless, rear hatch handle broke off at 20,000 miles, Power side door sensors are intermittant (door ajar message is displayed frequently), electronic overhead display problems, fuel gauge becomes erratic at 1/4 full, and now I need intake manifold gaskets ($750). Too many negatives for me to buy another one of these vehicles.
