| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have a 1999 pontiac montana that we purchased new from a local dealer in south bend in. i noticed oil and antifreeze going down and took the van to a garage. he said that pontiac should make the repairs because the leak was caused by a manifold gasket problem i took it to the local dealer and talk to him about repairs. at first he said the repairs would be around $1500.00. i told him that it would be cheaper to buy another vehicle. he said probably. a real smart aleck. i told him that there was, at that time, 30,0000 miles on the vehicle. he talked to the manager and they came up with a price around $600.00. i told them to do it. the final price was just under $400.00. now i find that it is leaking a little again and the water pump is leaking, too. i had a private garage change the water pump and probably won't get the manifold gasket replaced at this time. i also had the brakes checked and found that the rear wheel cylinders were leaking. that is another cost on this 1999 pontiac montana van. the drivers door needs a repair to some of the mechanism in the window and it will cost around $500. i have heard that this window problem is common with these vehicles. i have reached the point of getting rid of the van and going to something besides a gm product. the van has 32,000 miles on it now and i shouldn't be seeing all of this high dollar repairs on it. *ak |
