2002 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"Looks aren't everything, rust buckets have been found to be more reliable than the Montana"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 52,000 miles we had to have the condenser replaced (rusted and leaking).
At 70,000 we had to have the lower head gasket, plugs/wires (burnt on) replaced.
We had vehicle in shop 3 times in three weeks due to battery kept dying. Mechanics explanation " I don't know".
Now brake lights won't work, bulbs are fine fuses are fine.
At the current mileage of 89,000 we are on our 3rd set of tires.
We also owned a Grand Am a few years back which we had to replace less than 3 years after purchase due to it's maintanance problems. Both my grand father and father were employees of GM for 30 years each and I will never purchase another GM product. I can no longer afford the repair cost associated with owning a GM product.
