General Comments:

This thing is a money pit. We have had it for maybe a year, and if it is not one thing, it's another. Never again will I buy a van from GM. I just found out last night after yet another over heating spell, that the head gasket is blown. Luckily I have a friend who's a mechanic, but it's still money I don't have right now :(

Faults:

AC compressor defective at less than 100,000 kms (no warranty).

Drivers window binds while raising (service waxed the window for repair). It still binds.

No radio/clock display at about 2 years old (not a bulb replacement).

Constant brake lights and tail lights failure (melting base).

Oil pan gasket leaking (remove A frame to repair).

Intake gasket at 120,000 kms.

Transmission failure at 150,000 kms.

Head gasket at 160,000 kms.

Fuel gauge quit working at 4 years old.

On my 3rd starter.

Several small non-stop problems.

Motor now makes a very noisy clicking sound (going to the scrap yard).

General Comments:

If you have lots of money it is a nice van to drive when it's working.

Faults:

Front windshield wiper blades come loose & misalign. The heater & air conditioner don't work very well.

Rear window motor won't open & close all the time.

General Comments:

Very happy with the comfortable ride it provides.

Great camping vehicle!

Faults:

What has not gone wrong with this car? Let's see..

Intake gasket blew, upper engine noise causing me to drop a "new" engine w/60,000 miles in to replace it.

Three of the 4 wheel bearings were shot.

Brakes all around.

Tailpipe fell off and needed fixed.

Trans lost OD and needed overhauled.

Rear end howels loudly when you turn sharp.

Driver's window gets stuck in the track sometimes.

Windshield wipers needed gear assy. replaced because they started "parking" up instead of down.

And last but far from least, the AC that worked fine when I bought it 6 months and all of 500 miles ago just quit blowing cold... nice!!!

WORST CAR I EVER BOUGHT!!! RUN, DON'T WALK AWAY FROM THE MONTANA IF YOU THINKING OF BUYING ONE!!!

I've owned many a cars, most with more than 200K miles, and this is by far the worst. I should have looked up the reviews before I bought it.

We were pretty set on a AWD minivan since we are moving to Alaska, so our options were kind of limited. I should have bought the Caravan, at least then I would only have to worry about possibly replacing the trans. instead of the whole car piece by piece.

The worst part is every time I take it in it's the same story... Intake gasket?? Don't worry they all go out due to the corrosive antifreeze GM uses. No over drive??? Don't feel bad, it happens to all these cars sometimes as early as 60K miles... I just fixed 3 this week.

GM engineers were too ignorant to harden the spline on the 4th gear clutch hub assy, so they just wear out. They should have been recalled...

Oh, the wipers won't go down?? Happens to them all, $200-$1000 to repair the WIPERS alone!!!
