1997 Pontiac Montana review from Netherlands
"Nightmare on wheels.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox broke down and after repair the car did not feel the same. High costs involved!!!
Starter engine failed. Had to be towed for the second time in 3 weeks!!! What an embarrasment.
Electric door gave constant problems.
General comments?
For the people at Chevrolet: shame on you. This has cost me enormous and my faith in Chevrolet is gone. Will never buy one again.
