1999 Pontiac Montana LX review from North America
"I'm disappointed in an otherwise great vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 70,000 miles the van began to have many problems. In the last 2 months I have had the transmission rebuilt, the water pump replaced and there was a crack in the intake manifold. These repairs took a lot of time and money. If I had not purchased an extended warranty I would not be able to afford this car. My suggestion is get an extended warranty on this one. I am hoping that my problems are now over as my warranty will be soon.
General comments?
This has been a great van for the family. I was very surprised by the sudden onslaught of problems. I love the way that it drives, its gas mileage, configuration of seats and the ease of getting multiple people in and out. I do not want to replace it, but will if the problems continue after the warranty expires. I have hopes that my problems are over because it truly is a really nice van.
