2000 Pontiac Montana Owner Comments

problem #1

Oct 032003

Montana 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 66,684 miles

My 2000 Pontiac Montana started to shake and vibrate in the front end between 50-65 mph. With 66K miles and driven mainly interstate, something was happening with the front suspension. Found both outer tie rod ends worn out with extreme play. Only the tie rods were worn nothing else in the front suspension. Pontiac and my dealer seem to think that tie rod wear at 66K is normal wear! its hard to believe when I still have the original brakes. I am just glad that the tie rods did not separate since this would have been disastrous. Other GM mini van owners should be aware of this obvious premature tie rod wear.
