All four signal lights burnt out and indicator is flashing really fast.
I changed all four bulbs and the indicator in the dash is still flashing really fast

2005 Pontiac Montana Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Is the Pontiac Montana the Lindsay Lohan of minivans? Genuinely versatile, it has suburban family appeal, yet is dressed up in a fun and sporty performance package. Ultimately, the Montana is saddled with more problems than you probably want to deal with. Sound familiar? You be the judge.
In 2006, the Montana will be replaced with the even more SUV-like Montana SV6, so the 2005 Montana prepares by drastically reducing its trim offerings. Gone is the regular wheelbase model. Now only an extended 120-inch-wheelbase minivan is offered. All-wheel drive is history. Sports packages remain, adding a stiffer suspension, rear spoiler, hood bulges, badging, and performance tires. The 3.4-liter, 185-hp V6 remains, along with the 4-speed automatic transmission. ABS is no longer standard. Bucket seats and/or captain's chairs can be moved or folded for flexibility, though some report that removal is difficult and cumbersome despite the seats being lightweight.
Convenient dual sliding doors help with passenger and cargo loading, and a power option is available for both sides. Some owners have complained the power doors have a mind of their own, however, so step lively. Rear wipers, automatic climate control, cruise control, OnStar, power features, and a roof rack are all standard. MontanaVision DVD entertainment and rear audio controls keep kids happy and sated. A parking assist is another nice option.
2005 Montana drivers were always pleased with its engine performance and power, the sporty non-minivan look, and decent gas mileage for a minivan. Acceleration was responsive. The power door option was a big hit. On the downside, plastic parts look cheap and break easily. Seats do not fold completely into the floor. Mechanical (head gasket) and electrical (power door) problems persist. There are reports of excessive wind noise.

Liked everything about this van except 2nd row windows do not roll down. However in these years not many did! Real milage on trips fully loaded down with people and Stuff was still 25 MPG +. Dash set up was great. Seats are very comfortable compared to Dodge!Feb 28, 2014

I bought a van with 38,000 on it shortly after i had to replace rotors and pads, after that a wheel bearing now a misfunctioning sensor in the front hub (which by the way the other front wheel bearing is starting to go, but by gm standards is not bad enough to replace on warranty.)
There appears to be an electrical problem (at times the lights seem to dim and come back to normal quite fast.)Also the brakes seem to be a little spongy when the vehicle starts up from a cold start.Apr 29, 2008

If you don't mind spending on gas it is convenient for trips, not a vehicle to own if you want to travel for low cost or city driving to work. Feb 07, 2008

What users have asked
gages on dash wont move
I own a 2005 Pontiac Montana minivan. what would cause the speedometer needle and the temperature needles to not drop to zero when the motor is not running? when the motor is running the needles will either stay in one position or be way above where they should be running normally. Other than the needles not functioning properly there is no other issues with the vehicle.
