2001 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"Not worth spending your money on with so many repairs having to be done so soon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The van over heated after a couple thousand dollars of repair work on the engine.
The majority of the repair bills were due to gaskets, intake manifold, oil and coolant mixing, coolant in the engine, you name it.
The driver-side power window broke last year.
There is a weird clunking noise coming from underneath the vehicle.
The front cup holder broke off of the van last year. There has always been a problem with overheating every since the first big repair job to fix gaskets.
Rear wiper fluid motor not working at all.
A short in electrical wiring to the rear lights.
General comments?
I'm not sure if this van is worth fixing.
Repair bill will total around $3400 if I decide to get the engine fixed.
I liked the van until it started having so many problems around 60k miles.
A nice ride. Kids loved it.
Not much cargo space at all for groceries, soccer equipment, etc.
Not nearly enough cup holders.
