2000 Pontiac Montana extended 3.4L from North America
Summary:
A Family hauling machine
Faults:
The service engine light goes on and off intermittently with no solution to the problem.
Rear latch handle replaced under warranty.
Electronics and lights pulse on a fairly consistent basis. Not a major problem just annoying.
Rust starting under rear hatch.
Seat belts are easily twisted and do not always retract back in their holders. A real pain especially when you are putting three kids in the vehicle.
General Comments:
Overall a very comfortable van for long drives. Fuel economy is good. Lots of room to throw all of your stuff.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The problems with the check engine lights can be solved quite easily. The reason they come on is due to the gas cap not being tight and it takes 3 more fills for the computer to reset itself. Thus, make sure the cap is on tight each time you fill up and the light will not come on anymore.

As far as changing the plugs, I couldn't get the back plugs changed myself, so I went to a local reputable shop. They only charged me $62.00 (I supplied the plugs).
