Looking at buying one. Will be getting one still under warranty, and
will probably get a service contract, but are there any known issues
that should make me rethink my choice?

Thanks..

Spend some time here:

Do a vehicle search (I'd look at a couple years of a model at least)

I agree with you. Finding common problems require more than newsgroups
research. Rely on facts and not a few posts about a specific problem.

It is a shame that these idiots on the web read a few posts of problems
and relate them to the whole car production. Only people who have problems
report in newsgroups and one or two continuously posting can make it look
like there are major problems. Most who post have very little knowledge of
cars and have no idea what they are posting about.

I don't know for 03-04 specifically but Venture/Montana/Silhouette have
a very bad tracking record IMOO. Common problems I have seen are lower
intake manifold leak, Transmission pressure control solenoid, piston
slap, rust, leaking windshield seal and over time, the vehicle develop a
lot of cabin rattles.

My Montana is my last GM.

I'm driving a 2002, no complaint so far. Would buy another one tomorrow.
There is no perfect car, all dealership repair facility are busy...
