Alot of trouble w/ few answers
Terrible vibration in front end that could not be explained or fixed. Loud jack hammer noise during braking that no one seemed concerned about(except me). Took 4 trips to dealership(not a rental car offered) before finding a thermal auxillary exhaust valve was the culprit. Hard shifting and unreliable performance from the transmission. Vehicle always felt like it was dragging. Went over the mountains and had a hard time maintaining 55 mphs. Despite all my major mechanical defects I have recieved poor customer service, lack of sympathy, even when I felt my vehicle was unsafe to drive they failed to be concerned.about situation.
Montana, Big MO
The Montana overall has been a pretty good van. WE have realy enjoyed the great looks & stylish body design. The Koons dealership has been very helpful to me. I would give them an A raiting.
Flickering Lights
Occasionally when we drive at night, the headlights, tailights and interior instrument panel lights will quickly flicker (blink). We've brought it back to the dealership a couple of times, but they don't know what's causing the flickering. They refuse to check or change the alternator and /or voltage regulator. Very frustrating............
Handling a Montana
We bought our formerly leased, loaded Montana 6 years ago from a dealer. We got an excellent deal on it and soon discovered it was from a bad odor. After cleaning it several times, we still haven't enjoyed the new car smell, but we have gotten a sweet deal! It has been paid for for 2 years now and until this week, I have only needed regular oil changes, new tires and windshield wipers. Yesterday I spent $600 to replace the rear brake cylinders and the front bushings. The boys are grown and I could sell and get a convertible I have dreamed of for years, but I will drive this Beauty until she can't go anymore.
Bought Ours New in 2000
We purchased this van new in November 2000 right before the 2001 hit the market. This Van has been an awesome mode of transportation. We still have it and our Teenage Daughter loves driving it to hall her friends. We had some minor AC issues at 75,00 K and had to have the head gaskets and heads redone at 120,00 Wife drove it and it got hot. That cost around 2,000. But other than that this has been a vehicle well worth the drive. We still have it so that says all. around in.
