Use your Head before you buy a GM product.

2008 Uplander has had 2 sets of head gaskets under new car warranty (36,000 mile) 1 Set at 72,000 miles (only covered half). Uplander now has 82,000 miles and Dealer isn't sure they will cover it. This is a fine example of a defective product that was pushed off until the warranty expired and then they STICK IT TO YOU! I would urge anyone thinking about buying a new or used GM to consider how well they back their products or repair them!

Quality by GM?

2 day old van and defrost blower stopped working. Coldest night of the year too. The dealer took care of the issue giving me a rental. The passenger door and fender don't fit at all at the windshield, big gap on one side no gap on the other. The dealer isnt sure if it can be fixed. A terrible visual disaster. It is however not limited to my van only as I have seen many Uplanders the same. Also a rough idle sometimes with a gentle surge when I have a foot on the brake.

Worst car of all times (that I have owned)

Run away, no really do not bother. I purchased this vehicle and from 85,000 miles to 125,000 I put in over $6000. Sadly it is not as easy as dumping it. I purchased this for a work vehicle and have been in the shop more than on the road. Now with 174,000 miles and more electronic, steering and other issues it would be a better paper weight.

Had it 2 years and now the battery goes dead for no apparent reason. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. The dealer will make you pay just to look at it.
