  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.

  Seems like everything that could go wrong has, trouble with wipers, front and back, air conditioning, brake valve, air cond, again., plastic bearing, and they now say I need to replace head gasket still I am paying on the bank loan for another year and a half, not sure if I want to risk not fixing the van because I do not have the money, or chancing I might be able to hold out until it, s paid for

  Alot of trouble w/ few answers - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By kelbels - November 1 - 10:00 am

  Terrible vibration in front end that could not be explained or fixed. Loud jack hammer noise during braking that no one seemed concerned about(except me). Took 4 trips to dealership(not a rental car offered) before finding a thermal auxillary exhaust valve was the culprit. Hard shifting and unreliable performance from the transmission. Vehicle always felt like it was dragging. Went over the mountains and had a hard time maintaining 55 mphs. Despite all my major mechanical defects I have recieved poor customer service, lack of sympathy, even when I felt my vehicle was unsafe to drive they failed to be concerned.about situation.

  Never buy a Montana! - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By DOHN NAGY - September 3 - 3:13 pm

  Last week my Transmission went and this was the last straw! Ive had trouble with the windshield leaking water into the light on the centre roof, handles come off the right sliding door(Twice) right door wont open easily or at all. Hood corroded and had to be repainted. As to the transmission replacement, it was $3672.79 and this for a vehical with just 144.0 kms on it and less than four years old. The original cost was going to be $4300.00 but was reduced at the dealer(Popham on the Queensway in Toronto) I have no quarrel with the dealership but General Motors in my mind is not a reliable vehicle to own any more and we have four GM vehicals in my family...I just dont trust GM anymore...
