It is what it is
Has been a decent vehicle for our family. My Grandmother owned one that was plowed into a tree at about 30+ mph and I liked how the vehicle withstood the crash so we bought one. My wife loves it and I have had to make quite a few repairs lately because she doesn't want to let it go. If your Montana is overheating, without getting oil in your antifreeze, and antifeeze is being pushed out of your holding tank it's the head gasket. I learned that the hard/expensive way. Currently has 151,000 miles hope it gives me plenty more.
Loved It
This was the best minivan I have ever owned. I never had any problems with it and it was very reliable transportation. I had two children that were in car seats when this van was purchased, so the dual sliding doors came in very handy.
A nice car
My ex worked for Toyota, so I drove new Toyotas for years. I was leary of a GM product, but it has been great. I had one problem with the fuel pump - it was towed for free and I was supplied with a free loaner under the warranty - I am somewhat baffled by the complaints I see. The cup holders aren't great, but that isn't how I evaluate a car. The tires are about shot after 27K - maybe I should have rotated them once or twice. Duh.
Could be better
We have had six warranty repairs. This entailed being without a car or waiting at the dealer to have it repaired. 1. Starter 2. Battery 3. Right front CV joint 4. Altenator repair 5. Pull down Strap replacement on rear hatch 6. Intake manifold gasket for oil leak. In addition to the warranty repairs we replaced the Dunlap tires, lasting only 22,000 miles due to one having a defect. Replaced brakes at 34,500 miles. Speakers vibrate.
Wish I would've reviewed before buying lemon
Bought in May 05. June it left us stranded 6 hours from home on a Sunday! Back to dealership, couldn't diagnose till they drove it around for a week and got stranded themselves only to find a loose wiring harness in the fuel line. By December had a $700 tranny rebuilt, 3 sets of rotors, brakes every couple months, but only on one side? Front bearings. Oh yea then the gasket went for a price tag of $1000 (and still smells of antifreeze when warm). Rear door leaks through the interior light while raining! Cruise control just stopped working. Power windows are a joke! I know 5 different familys with these and I have the fewest probems with 152,000 miles and still shimmyin down the road!!
