1999 Pontiac Montana from North America
Summary:
Poor Choice -- Avoid at all costs!
Faults:
My head gasket blew at around 70,000 miles.
It is also leaking oil.
It has a power steering column leak.
It shifts very rough, and I believe the transmission is going.
General Comments:
I drove my Buick into the ground, very hard, but I still over $9000 on this Pontiac Montana, and I worry that the car will not make it to the duration of my loan. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have bought just about anything else, especially if it was Japanese.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I wrote this review about a year ago, as it turns out the transmission didn't need replaced, but the gaskets in the transmission went bad, it cost about $700 to fix where a new transmission cost around $1500-2000 so I was pleased, the van has been running great since I got it fixed. I hope who ever is having this problem doesn't go and get a new transmission and they just get the gaskets replaced. It will save them money in the long run.
