2001 Pontiac Montana LX review from North America
"Maintenance nightmare and GM leaves you hanging"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake blown at 85,000
Windshield wiper motor jams
Headlights fill with water
AC not working
Gas Gauge broke
The list goes on and on.
General comments?
The van in nice looking and has a lot of bells and whistles, but don't be fooled! The van is a nightmare with electrical and mechanical problems. Called GM and they said sorry for your problems out of warranty. I even offered to share the cost--they were not interested and didn't care. Filed complaint with BB and they called back, but still didn't care. I want to support American auto-maker, but I'll stick with my Nissan with 172,000 miles no problems.
