1999 Pontiac Montana Electrical system Problems

“Dealer sold me a Pontiac Montana minivan and I only had it for 2 weeks, and it won't start, it had a carfax report that said it was in a car accident, this was not told or revealed to me by the dealer. Now I am stranded without a car to get around and no warranty was given. I ask for a warranty the salesman said it only comes with financing.”

“The engine caught fire and all we can say is that 3 weeks prior to that, the car was worked on by the dealer to fix a colant leak between the intake maniful and the cylinder head. We drove the car up on a steep hill, the car was parked and 2 or 3 minutes later we were informed that our car's engine was on fire. Abd the car wsa totalled.”

“First the driver's side window stopped working, then the tail lights just went out on the 99 Pontiac Montana. They were just working and then on my way home they just stopped working. I replaced all bulbs and they still aren't working. Went to see a technician and he says it is an electrical problem. After that the radio display flickers in and out when the brake is pushed on. I've searched to see if I could find an answer as to why this happened and there are many websites with the same complaints as I have stated here with the same problems.”

“We have only had our van a year. We have had problems since we got it. One thing after another. First coolant leaking, electrial problems, intake gasket leaking. Replaced 11/05. Motor failed 1/05. Door mailfunction.”

“I had three transmissions, a cracked head because of over heating, water pump and heat sensor, oil in one cylinder, a short in the rear lights with dealer saying I (should replace the lighting structure on both sides) $200.00. Abs system sensor front right side wire burned through $500.00. The $200.00 and $500.00 I have not done yet, should I wait until it's an even $1000.00 more to spend more money? There are more problems.”
