1998 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"A piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's more like what hasn't gone wrong. Replaced brakes six times, bumper repainted after one year, exhaust manifold gasket replaced, water pump gasket replaced, radio led has gone out, radio volume goes up when turned down, engine replaced at 60,000 miles, battery replaced at 60,600 miles, cheap interior plastic parts, interior lights constantly fail, twice replaced tires, faulty ABS, faulty air bags, and many other things. Thank God I purchased the extended warranty. This minivan is crap.
General comments?
I would never recommend this vehicle to anyone.
How could GM even roll this vehicle off the assembly line and sell it?
