1999 Pontiac Montana Trans Sport review from North America
"Nice riding vehicle for a family of 6"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior lights flicker off and on whenever the keys are in the ignition.
Airbag lights comes on and stays on.
Door chimes chime intermittently when the keys are in the ignition and the door is open.
Front cup holder broken.
Display on radio works erratically.
General comments?
With regards to the flickering lights and door chimes, the dealership has never been able to find the problem. Even though the van is out of warranty now, they recently replaced the module that controls the chimes and lights.
The airbag light has been coming on since we purchased the vehicle. The dealership has clean the connectors and replaced both front seatbelt latches.
The radio has now been replaced twice.
I just got my van back today so I'll have to drive it awhile and see if the problems reoccur. I have taken it in over a dozen times to repair the lights and airbag problems. Each time, the problem is resolved for a few weeks.
The dealership was not eager to take care of the repairs this time due to the vehicle being out of warranty, however, they have agreed to fix all the problems until they are resolved to my satisfaction.
