2002 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"My dream van was a lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within the first 4 months:
Radio/CD had to be replaced.
Seat warmers failed.
Starter failed.
Back seats began to rattle and no one has been able to fix.
Interior cover on hatch door fell off.
AC condenser had to be replaced.
I can't remember what was wrong the other two times I was towed.
Now something in the front is howling when I turn the corners. Had checked, not the power steering.
Now there is a grinding in the rear end on occasion like you're going over a rub board and it causes a slight tug. The radiator is loose.
General comments?
This is a van with so many problems (since new) I can hardly remember all that has gone wrong. Rough riding and the rattles are pathetic.
