Purchased vehicle new in Dec 03 from Conkle pontiac. Problems with interior features from day 1. Winshield leaked damaging the headliner. In the first month of ownership the van was in the shop 20 days. The dealership has never fixed the problems and are now refusing to work on it. My audio controls and all my interior lights are hanging down. Windows do not operate properly. it has a continuing popping noise that is very loud and now my engine has developed a knock. Would not recommend this vehice to anyone.
AVOID!

Bought the AWD because we were moving out to the country. It was a company lease return, impeccably maintained. As soon as the warranty expired, we IMMEDIATELY suffered the infamous GMC intake manifold gasket debaucle. Since then, nothing but problems, mostly with the wheel hubs, bearings, and ABS/AWD sensors. Turns out a vehicle named "MONTANA" with AWD can't handle a bumpy gravel road. Worst vehicle we've ever owned... period.

Dont buy a Montana.Big Mistake.In the 3 years since I've purchased mine I've had to replace the entertainment system, the side door didnt close properly, and now the transmission is failing at 45,000 miles (all on a car which was bought new that has met all maintenance schedules).GM cares nothing about quality or reliability of their vehicles and their dealer service departments are incompetent at best and criminal at worst. My last vehicle before this was a new "94 GMC Jimmy who's engine seized at 60k under warranty and the dealers service department never fixed properly. Spend a few dollars more on a Honda and leave gm (garbage motors) alone

Great running gear, but everything else is a mess. Has 35,200 miles and I have replaced the instrument cluster, stereo, cup holder, rear lock 3 times, auto sliding side door mech. 2 times, front seat cushions 4 times (side airbag box built in the seat kept cutting them), front seat cover once and a rear seat belt lock. The service at the dealer is the worst I've ever seen. Some of these items took four visits and up to 5 months to repair, some have never been repaired. Warranty expires in 800 miles. I'm trading in on a new Honda Pilot in this weekend, who know what will break by then?

Our second leased Montana. The last, a '99, had some problems with the power sliding door but was otherwise well- designed and very convenient. Our new '03 keeps the convenience and builds on it with new features and very impressive fit & finish. This van seems tighter and very responsive. (My 16-year old son drove it and pronounced it "Cool!" -- not the usual teenage response to a minivan.) The remote lock/power door is a great feature if your hands are full of stuff to put into the car or if you're ferrying kids or grandparents who might otherwise fumble with a sliding door.
