2001 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"A real electrical nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My ignition would not work due to communication problems between key and sensor.
Transmission would not shift out of second gear due to faulty sensor in transmission.
Rear windows will not work.
General comments?
This vehicle is very well appointed and performance is good. When it is working properly that is. I have had problems with electrical and electronic issues since day one. Transmission problems have plagued me since approximately 85000 km. This problems is back as I type this and sensor was replaced less than three months ago.
