2000 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"Longevity after 100k is suspect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel gauge stopped reading at 120000 km.
50 % of the gauges did not work in the winter time at 120000 km.
Back seats springs broke at 130000km.
Intake head gasket blew at 150000km.
General comments?
Between the time I purchased the van at 42000 km and 100000 km, there were no problems, but after 100 k the problems started mounting up.
This van and apparently numerous other GM products with earlier model 3.4 l engines are not reliable after 100k.
