Happy Montana Owner
Bought this van nearly 8 years ago after driving most other domestic vans. This one by far the best! Have over 196,000 miles on it and still love it! Have been looking around at something to replace it, but can't find anything that is as roomy or has the big comfy seats. This has been such a great vehicle, we're spoiled and can't find anything that is worth replacing it with.
like it...but
The general tires suck...34,000 miles and I already need new set. Rack & pinion is being replaced due to a leak also. Like the styling overall, but the uneven floor creates loading problems; everything slides or and tips forward.
Never again
From day one we had little bits of interior pieces break and/or fall off. Powertrain warranty only 36 months. Transmission destroyed itself at 42,000 miles. Very poor customer service and support. Even though Pontiac admitted the failure was "unusual" and NOT related to abuse or maintenance, it still took over six months to receive any compensation from Pontiac in the form of 60% of the cost of the repair.
Don't Waste Your Money!
This is the worst car I've ever owned (have owned about 8). Transmission rebuilt at 45000 miles and still having same problems with it. Brakes are always going out on it, am having to have rotors turned or replaced around every 8 mos, and pads last about 5-6 mos. Problems with intake manifold. Car does not retain it's value. Many other websites have complaints from owners too. Many other engine probs, including power steering problems, but running out of room...
not that bad
Yes, this van and the other two from GM have had problems, but how many folks have heard of PREVENTATIVE maintenance? Our van has been very reliable, except for the intake gaskets that I had to replace. Otherwise, at 100k it still runs and rides pretty good. Love the room, and we use this as our truck at times as well. I do wish they had better resale. Mine is 100% mechanically, and still worth peanuts. Power sliding door needs to be reset from time to time, but other than normal care, it has been a good van
