2001 Pontiac Montana EX review from North America
"Average van"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission had to be replaced at 34,000 miles. The replacement was covered under warranty, but was in the dealer shop for 14 days before it was fixed.
The air conditioning has a faulty line and had to be replaced and recharged at 38,000 miles.
The passenger side automatic window motor went out at 46,000 miles.
Molding around bottom of van started discoloring around 35,000 miles.
General comments?
A reasonably comfortable ride, but several problems with the car since it is not being driven hard at all.
