2001 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"Steer away from the Montana!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioner has broken down twice.
The transmission gave out on me today.
We've had lots of tire problems and have been stranded on the highway a couple of times which resulted in us being forced to drive 200 km on a donut (not fun).
The car also seems to steer itself to the left all the time.
The CD player/radio volume is very sensitive. It is either really quiet or really loud. Also, the sound gets louder and louder as you speed up.
The heat/air conditioner controls in the back seat are useless. We think they are fake, they have never worked.
The ride is not at all smooth.
The dealership would not cover half of the things that went wrong with our Monty. What a piece of junk.
General comments?
Steer away from the Montana! We hate it! What a hoax!
Seriously, don't buy it. You will regret it.
I don't get why so many people have Montanas.
They are ugly and they have so many problems.
We've had to have ours towed so many times and we are quite frankly tired of it.
