Head gaskets gone 3 times. Window regulator replaced 2 times, kept taking it to dealer. And it only has 83K miles on it. Now I'm going to trade this in and get an import.

My experience is more with the incredibly poor service I recieved from GM Canada. Basically I was accused of trying to claim on my extended warrenty for the cracking in the plastic between the useless storage container and the rear seat!

Major cooling system problems

As soon as this vehicle passed 60k miles it was all downhill. It is a sqeeky, noisy ride. Our fuel gauge went out and we are just waiting for the fuel pump to die, too. We have had problems with the cooling system and have twice replaced the water pump, the thermostat, the intake valve and are about to shell out more money for what remains to be determined. I won't be buying or recommending a GM product to anyone in the ever near future. For all of the people that ranked their vehicle so favorably when it was only 2 to 3 years old, I'd be curious to see how their "later years" have panned out.

This van was ok until 30,000 miles when the general self sealing tires were bald.Yes I rotated them every 6000 miles. The intake gasket had to be replaced at 31,000. The brakes were sticking on one side at 37,000. Airbag light came on at 40,000 and has been back twice for that. The battery had to be replaced at 47,000. Now the abs,traction control lights are coming on. GM needs to recall the intake gaskets everyone I know with a montana has had it replaced. I love gm trucks but this the last van GM will sell me.

Awesome Family Vehicle

We bought our Montana because we has small children and wanted the convenience of the back seat access for car seats. It has been a wonderful van for us. Love the easy cleanability of the leather seats, the access to rear seats, the ease of lowering the back seat for more cargo space. We have had no major repairs. We have taken good care of our van and had regular maintenance, which makes a world of difference. All mechanical systems still working great. It's a comfortable van, easy to drive and great for families.
