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............

I drive our 2001 Montana and I enjoy it for the most part for smooth ride and roomy interior. Has been reliable and smooth running up until replacing intake manifold gasket at 60,000 miles due to dry rot. A $790+ repair cost that I contacted Pontiac about and was reimbursed 50% of the cost. Recently, my glove box door fell off due to plastic "hinge" breaking. The fold-down rear seat plastic hinge looks like it will be next to go. When gasket was being replaced at local dealer, mechanic broke air box and it will have to be replaced. Also, having problem with an engine sensor that indicates a problem with 1 of 3 possibilities. Sorry that OnStar will no longer work after 12/07.

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!!!

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.

The interior seats seem cheap. They are small and poorly made. It appears to be material over cardboard. I have less than 30k miles on an 01 and it seems to be a rattlebox. I should have bought a custom van for big comfort and good ride. Long trips create arm and leg pain???? Something is not placed correctly. I am 5'11" my wife 5'2" same for both.
