  Very Disappointed - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By mad@gm - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Purchased vehicle new in Dec 03 from Conkle pontiac. Problems with interior features from day 1. Winshield leaked damaging the headliner. In the first month of ownership the van was in the shop 20 days. The dealership has never fixed the problems and are now refusing to work on it. My audio controls and all my interior lights are hanging down. Windows do not operate properly. it has a continuing popping noise that is very loud and now my engine has developed a knock. Would not recommend this vehice to anyone.

  junk van - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By DRat - February 13 - 2:00 am

  At 36,700 miles had to replace the manifold intake gasket. Had to fight with GM to get them to pay for the 1,000 dollar repair. At 37,400 had to replace a head gasket. GM automatically paid for this expensive repair. I was hoping to pay it off and drive it for many years but I think I might have to trade it in on a toyota or honda. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE. DO NOT BUY A MONTANA MINI-VAN.

  2000 Montana Ext - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By Danb - August 1 - 2:00 am

  Great running gear, but everything else is a mess. Has 35,200 miles and I have replaced the instrument cluster, stereo, cup holder, rear lock 3 times, auto sliding side door mech. 2 times, front seat cushions 4 times (side airbag box built in the seat kept cutting them), front seat cover once and a rear seat belt lock. The service at the dealer is the worst Ive ever seen. Some of these items took four visits and up to 5 months to repair, some have never been repaired. Warranty expires in 800 miles. Im trading in on a new Honda Pilot in this weekend, who know what will break by then?

  Intake Manifold Stinks - 2003 Pontiac Montana

  Im seeing a repeat of complaints having to do with the intake manifold. Guess what, mine is shot too. DONT BUY GM ANYTHING. We will eventually be buying a Honda Odyssey.

  Only if you must - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By Skip It - February 10 - 10:00 am

  I have owned 2 of these vehicles. I had a 1997 model that was nothing but trouble and decided to give GM a second try by purchasing a second van from them. Biggest mistake I have made in major purchases. Not even 10000 miles in and the intake valve needed replaced. The brakes are squeeling and the front end is making some weird rubbing noise that the dealer has had no luck locating. Oh, the glove box latch has been broken 3 times already. I wont be purchasing another GM vehicle for quite some time. Next van purchase will be a Honda or Toyota.

  bummer - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By rjk - September 19 - 4:56 am

  an example why GM is having trouble selling cars without steep discounts -- a real disappointment. Needed a new manifold gasket at 40,000 miles, trim is falling part, one window wont close, power window grinds, etc., etc.

  Small Problems from the Start - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By dcrambler - May 24 - 10:00 am

  Great deal when you factor in both the Montana Vision and regular factory rebates. Walked away with the MV FWD for less than $21K after GM card maximum credit allowance. Overall build is less than desirable - have had door handle, rattle and lug cap problems in the first month plus horrible warranty service from a local Pontiac dealership. Still couldnt pass up the overall low price when compared to the Odyssey.
