1999 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"Poor Choice -- Avoid at all costs!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at around 70,000 miles.
It is also leaking oil.
It has a power steering column leak.
It shifts very rough, and I believe the transmission is going.
General comments?
I drove my Buick into the ground, very hard, but I still over $9000 on this Pontiac Montana, and I worry that the car will not make it to the duration of my loan. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have bought just about anything else, especially if it was Japanese.
