Where do I start? We have had a constant shaking/vibration between 38mph-44mph. The dealership and district manager say there is no problem; a clunk in the transmission from reverse to drive; many repairs on the hatch door; constant rattling in the plastic on the driver side sliding door; now there's a problem when putting your foot on the break; front end pops when taking off; The older the van gets, the more noise it makes. Need I say more!!!!!
GM won't take responsibility

It's very comfortable for traveling with adults and kids. Plenty of leg room for adults and storage for kids. Lots of sturdy cup holders. But this engine is NOT reliable. Head gaskets replaced 12 months ago. Been repaired by GM Certified Mechanic for overheating 5 times since and cracked another head. We shut it off immediately and towed it every time. GM will do nothing to help with this reoccuring and common problem in GM's with DexCool. Do you homework first. In the two years we've owned it, it's required $5000 in repairs!!!

we bought this 8 passenger van used, we have found out it was a lease vehicle. Before our first months payment was due the vehicle was in the garage because the abs and trac cont service lights were on this was taken care of because we purchased the extended warranty-good thing. Then our next month it was back in because we could get no heat. I really love this van because of the space it provides but am curious as to the potential for further repairs when our service contract runs out. We now have a loud vibrating howl by the windshield.
Happy with van

I've been quite happy overall with my Montana. It is comfortable and surprisingly fun to drive. I get 18- 20 MPG around town and 24-26 on the highway. After 125,000 miles I have replaced the intake gaskets, rear wheel cylinders and all the wheel bearings under my extended warranty. It seems hard on tires and front rotors. I've had to replace the heater elements in the front seats. The gas gauge quit working. I sometimes tow a 3000 pound trailer. The drivetrain still seems rock solid the engine doesn't use any oil and the transmission works well. I would buy another now that the intake gasket problems are sorted out.
Boo hoo

Seem's like everything that could go wrong has, trouble with wipers, front and back, air conditioning, brake valve, air cond, again., plastic bearing, and they now say I need to replace head gasket still I am paying on the bank loan for another year and a half, not sure if I want to risk not fixing the van because I do not have the money, or chancing I might be able to hold out until it, s paid for
