2000 Pontiac Montana extended review from North America
"A Family hauling machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The service engine light goes on and off intermittently with no solution to the problem.
Rear latch handle replaced under warranty.
Electronics and lights pulse on a fairly consistent basis. Not a major problem just annoying.
Rust starting under rear hatch.
Seat belts are easily twisted and do not always retract back in their holders. A real pain especially when you are putting three kids in the vehicle.
General comments?
Overall a very comfortable van for long drives. Fuel economy is good. Lots of room to throw all of your stuff.
