2002 Pontiac Montana review from North America

This Montana was a lemon and easily the worst vehicle I have ever owned. After having it in my possession for 3 days I returned the vehicle back to the dealership for a full refund. The dealer was very good and was embarrassed and actually admitted a big fat lemon should be placed on the window. He is sending it to an auction. He tried to up me to a 2004, but I said no thanks, due to General Motors downspiraling repuation. I bought a 2003 KIA Import. After 25 years my GMC (and Ford) days are over. Phil Edmonstons "Lemon Aid Guide" is a must read.

My 2002 Montana problems;

* Corrosion on hidden areas was immense. The struts had excessive rust. Very dangerous!

* side door lock failed.

* windshield wipers did not work properly.

* rad had slow leak.

* tranny cooler had slow leak.

* drivers side power window started to bind when in my short posession.

* Interior lights only worked when they felt like it.

* drivers side seat started to vibrate on drive home, pulled over and proceeded on and the vibration ceased.??

* Some Instrument bulbs were not working.

* I think AC freon may have need charging.

I believe Corrosion was the root to many of the problems, but based on the Lemon aid Guide...dont buy the Montana or any North American made van.
