New standard 3.9 liter engine has power!

The new standard engine has a lot more power to it, worth the small loss of mileage, which still is good for a minivan. A lot of space, 120 cu ft of cargo with seats down. Comfort is excellent, and safety looks to be very good a 5 stars (frontal) and 4 stars (Side) They don't sell well so you can get a great price,under 20,000 with 4 wheel antilock DISC brakes standard.

In spite of some less than glowing reviews by the experts I noted that consumers seemed to be quite impressed with this unit. I purchased it just before Xmas so made a 500 mile trip to Northern Sask to break it in. My wife and I were impressed with the ride, it felt more like a caddy. I set the cruise at 130 most of the time and it just purred along. I work summers in construction so require a more SUV type vehicle as well. I believe that I got this vehicle for much less cost than any Asian brand so highly rated. It has a 3.9 V6, ABS, remote start, tinted windows, 160,000 Powertrain warranty, OnStar, free road assistance, power windows and locks at a cost of $22,000.
Don't buy this car. Problems GM knows about.

The steering in vehicle has a weak knuckle joint that can cause link to break and loss of steering. The traction control and stability control on this vehicle are a problem that many have tried to repair. An internet search will show the number of owners with traction/stability control issues and symptoms. Front axle broke as result of traction control malfunction while on highway at 60 mph. Engine cooling system is inadequate causing heads to warp. Alternator fire due to faulty wiring. Engine is difficult to service. Even changing spark plugs requires putting engine in "service mode" essentially lifting engine out of the car a bit to access plugs. Same is true for alternator repair, engine has to go into service mode. GM is aware of the traction/stability issues but no recall has ever been issued. Car eventually had to be junked with 129k miles because cost of repairs exceeded value of car. Body and interior in great shape, engine drive train junk. Got $800 from a salvage company for a $14,000 vehicle that was maintained per GM recommendations in owners manual. I would suggest avoiding the other branding of this same vehicle as well. Through many hours of researching, they have the same issues as the Chevy version.

This van was actually a gift from my parents (to which I am thankful), but man it came with some baggage. On my van the automatic sliding door was the first to go. It would get stuck open or think it was open and run down my battery. Then the remote keyless entry went south and my alarm would go off anytime my keys were near the vehicle. The gas gauge would show empty right after I put 21 gallons of gas in the vehicle then would bounce between full and empty until my engine light would come on. It's a regular occurrence to see a "check stability control" to come on and for the anti-lock breaks to not be working. The glove compartment handle completely broke off - had it repaired, but today won't close sometimes. The DVD player will not play new DVDs (not talking bluerays - DVDs), but does play older ones made before 2010. Reading others' reviews I think I finally know what the rattling is at low speeds. Also the transmission (as many others have said) slips BADLY. I am so ready to be done with "Shirley" (as we named her on a road trip that I think was delayed because we wound up on the side of the highway with a blow-out from that low right tire). Even with brand new tires my front right tire always loses air - I have had this looked at over and over leaving the technician scratching his head. It ALWAYS happens.

Greatest Van I've Ever Driven

Greatest van I've ever driven. The comfort of the seats is awesome. The van handles just like a car. In fact, sometimes you really forget it's a van. It's a smooth ride whether in sunshine, or the rain. Traction is great. Great seats, supports the back, comfort for long legs, and it is just right. Great if one has kids, or just alone, and carry a lot of things. You don't even notice the things that you carry because of the roominess of the van. I love it, and will get another one when it is time to trade in if it is just as comfortable, and has the assets that this one has.
