2006 Chevrolet Uplander Passenger

Worst vehicle I have ever owned!

By ladybird (TN) on Tuesday, April 23, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 130,000

Pros: "Fully loaded with all the bells and whistles"

Cons: "Nice interior features are just lipstick on a pig!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"Mechanical issues - right rear passenger door never works properly, even after having the motor replaced (at an expense of $1500). Right front turn lamp goes out about every 3 months. Back hatch locked and would not unlock. Had to have it drilled out and replaced ($1000). Right two wheel bearings make odd grinding/whining noise and have been replaced twice. If you are thinking of an uplander - big mistake!"

By moms taxi (FL) on Monday, April 22, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 192,000

Pros: "Room for 7 (great for long trips)"

Cons: "Its a mommy van, not hip"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Our van had over 192,000 miles. Only thing we've done is tires, oil change, brakes. (Just replaced Transmission) This van saved my life on 4/20/2013. Hit in the rear at 55mph. Walked away bruised but not broken. Would have kept the van for another 100K."

Great vehicle. No major problems

By DebbyJay (MO) on Wednesday, April 17, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 55,500

Pros: "Dependable, fun to drive, good value"

Cons: "Just wish it rode quieter."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have owned the vehicle for 18 months and it has 55,500 miles on it. I bought it used. It drives through snow with no problems. Kids love the DVD player. Ample cup holders. It is easy to get to the 3rd row seats. Roomy. Dashboard is designed well. Back up sensors are great as I hate backing up. I love the automatic doors. Only complaint is that I just wish it rode quieter."

GM failure

By KRKing (NC) on Saturday, April 06, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 89,000

Pros: "Space"

Cons: "Front end, transmission, and electrical failures."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"Major front end and transmission trouble at 87,000 miles, coupled with power sliding door breaking, then working only intermittently. Fuel pump has now gone at 89,000 miles, and will require another $1000 for parts and labor. Thought GM's weren't prone to these failures so early in mileage."
