  • Minivan Madness - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    I have owned this vehicle for 2 years and had the head gasket go at 39,000 miles. Heat always feels like its on when its not. Backlit sometimes stays off. Headlights dim slightly on and off when driving at times. Would not recommend this van to anyone, I would not buy one again. Beware before you buy. Rattles a lot when driving and bad over bumps.

  • One of the worst cars Ive owned - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    Where do I start. It leaks: windshield, side windows, headlights are full of water. Tail-lights keep blowing, Im told its the electrical system. Windshield wipers stop in the up position. Air-conditioning stopped working. exterior trim has fallen off. Auto-side mirrors dont work. Im the only owner of this car and my kids say I drive like an old lady and I do a mix of highway and suburban driving - so I dont think its me. Ive kept up with regular maintenance but the cost of fixing this stuff again and again is becoming quite a burden

  • Will never buy it again - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    We drive a lot and buy a new vehicle every three years. Own this van for more than two years. Went through three major repairs: engine head gasket, cooliing system(Condensor) and now ABS module. Each repair costs more than thousand dollar. So what ever GM rebate is, dont be lured to think to buy it, because eventually you will use the saving from rebate to pay for the repair.

  • Good van when its not in the shop - 2002 Pontiac Montana

    Bought used in jan 2005. Replaced rdm the first month. Steering rack alternator head gaskets a/c compressor evaporator coil wheel bearings x 3, 2 instances of broken wires to speed sensors replaced fluid in rdm replaced actuator for awd function. Good thing I was able to purchase the extra warranty. 2 bad I didnt get the 4 year plan.

  • Gasket Problems - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    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.

  • rattles noises and squeeks - 2002 Pontiac Montana
    By -

    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.
