Traded my Monte Carlo for this van used not even a year ago. Has been in the shop 6 times. Has cost over $1500 in repairs and has to go back into day because "starting is disabled" Have replaced a wheel hub. The brakes shake you out of your seat whenever you depress them. The steering grinds when you turn right. The electronic doors will close and crush a gallon of milk. When you hit a bump the door alarms go off. The reverse warning system tells you, you are going to hit something when there is nothing there and then lets you back into parked cars. The DVD player stopped working just after my baby discovered it was there. Interior noise it horrible! Don't just walk away for this buy, RUN!!!
Love My Uplander!!!

We recently upgraded to an Uplander from our Chevy Venture, due to high mileage. We love everything about it and are proud to own a Chevy! One thing that impressed me was how much leg room there was in all three rows even with the captain's chairs in the middle. Plus the seats are nice and solid, so you don't sink in to them when you sit in them. The DVD is great for long trips and the fuel economy is GREAT! We love our Uplander!

WARNING: DO NOT SLEEP IN THIS VAN OVERNIGHT!!! As a twice wildfire evacuee in one year, I learned last year ( trying to sleep in van when I ran out of hotel funds and places to couch surf) that these seats cut off lymph drainage in back of thighs. Think that’s minor? I did. Except my legs and feet were swelling by night and not going down enough by day. Lymphadema became cellulitis. In hospital 3x fighting this on Lasix IVs and every antibiotic they had. These seats are NOT safe for sleeping sitting up or for long drives without breaks!!!! Also if you are thinking “I can sleep in the back lying down” The seats don’t fold flat and there are gaps. And you can’t lock the doors from the back. My work around sort of was to call Onstar and have Onstar lock all my doors and unlock them later. But if my cellphone battery died in the middle of the night, I would not have a way to call Onstar. Can’t reach button to call from back area. Van is poorly designed for emergencies. Mechanical- At 110,00 mi Transmission and power steering both need work. Value is around 1500, and repairing about 3,000. Sadly, if I don’t fix it in order to avoid vehicle loan payments, Van is heading to landfill or parts graveyard. —— At 105,000 mi - Everything starting to fail or have problems. In past year, I’ve had over $1000 in repairs and facing another $1000 in repairs. This is a gently driven van. If you are buying a used Uplander, thoroughly check —- 1. Rack and pinion 2. Power Steering for leaks 3. Electrical affecting signals and dash lights 4. Operation of power door (That people want to grab and open manually - flip that power switch off to avoid an expensive fix!) 5. Seats may cut into back of your legs if sitting a long time. You could cause lymphadema to start in your legs ... this can be very serious! 6. You can’t lock front doors from back seat unless using remote key fob. My key fobs failed and new batteries didn’t work.

Was the first new car we bought always bought used. Had problems with this van from day one. Seems Chevy has a problem with the electrical system with this van and doesn't want to admit it. Was in the shop 3 times for the same problem with the gas gauge before it was fixed. Just got it out of the shop last with for another electrical problem. Not a very comfortable ride for a 6,3" person legs are very cramped. Don't like not having a center console. Be sure to get the extended warranty with van your going to need it. Been the most unreliable car I have own in the 18 years of driving. Never again buy a Chevy mini- van. Should have bought a Dodge.
A Big Disappointment

Traded our Venture due to high mileage. During warranty period,power door motors had to be replaced twice, along with stabilizer bar, and horn. Power doors and back lift gate never close properly and road noise was terrible. DVD sometimes didn't work. Rotors replaced at 20,000 miles. After warranty expired, trouble continued. ABS light came on - $500 for a sensor and then needed another $1500 for wiring? Braking always scary -grinding and shaking when stopping. Power rear vents would occasionally not close, and power doors would open by themselves. If it would work right the van was nice. Trading for a Toyota.
