1999 Pontiac Trans Sport Montana Package review from North America

I am putting $2000.00 - 3000.00/ yr in repairs into the vehicle. The transmissions in these gm products are crappy. It starts with hard shifting which they claim is the control selenoid sensor. You can only access this by taking out the whole transmission. This was replaced for over $700.00. This did not fix my problem. I took it to a transmission shop and they rebuilt the whole transmission for $3075.00 (and they gave me a deal) Gm has, but out several bulletens on this transmission, but will not take responsibility in admitting that it is a weak transmission and lets the consumer pay for it. Be aware its not only in the Montanas. The transmission is in quite a few Gm product. My air flow sensor has had to be replaced and head gasket on the engine. Other repairs have been done as well, parts that should were better than they have.

Other than mechanical and transmission problems has great space. 8 passenger vehicle with removable seats is nice. Built in child seat, self levelling hydraulic on the back axel for towing loads, nice dark tinted windows. gas mileage is pretty good for a minivan. coffee holders sucks, but the dashboard and driving area is nice.
