2004 Pontiac Montana Base review from North America
"Poor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shaking on front end dealer balanced front tires said it was a manufactures mistake. It's a bit better, but still small vibration. Front windshield making buzzing noise dealer found a service bulletin and repaired it, but a week later still making noise after about 90km/hr. Heater motor 5th speed not working they forgot to fix it on my last visit, said for me to make a new appointment to repair it. Side panels and windows rattling and leaking air noise dealer says it normal. Adjusted and replaced all weather stripping on all doors as per service bulletin. When filling gas tank the gas pump stops filling when it suppose to be full and I really have only half a tank of gas dealer tells me not to put the nozzle fully in to install it about half. vibration from frount speakers dealer says to turn down the base is set to high.
General comments?
Nice looking van rides fairly well good fuel millage. I made a big mistake I should of tryed other models before I bought it. Maybe KIA! If I have this many problems at 6000km what about 60,000km I will trade before I think I wasted $30,000 what a scam.
