2000 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"A disappointing compromise"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water collects in the overhead electronics console (only when it rains).
Rear shock absorbers do not work properly. Dealer agrees, but not covered by warranty.
Airbag/seatbelt light illuminates intermittently.
Rear windshield wiper does not do a very good job of wiping the windshield.
Drivers seat not aligned correctly with the steering column. (Could be an illusion, but still annoying.)
General comments?
This car does everything it was advertised to do.
It does so slowly and at the expense of quality.
This car handles very poorly. I am willing to call it unsafe at highway speeds.
Fuel economy is average.
