1998 Pontiac Montana review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1st month the rear axle broke off.
@60,000 miles transmission died.
Intake head manifold replace, leaking coolant.
GM knows about the defective transmission they put in all 1999 to 2002 GM and CHEVY products. They sent all dealers the notification, but did not let their customers know. The service bulletin # 00-07-30-002A.
My local dealership will not offer any help. I do not recommend any GM product.
General comments?
The Montana sucks - it should be called the money pit.
