On the whole my wife, kids and I love the van. As our first new car we like all the gadgets and the new car feel. BUT... after 10,000 miles I can hear both sliders make a creaking noise when taking off and just before coming to a stop. Also when hitting the brakes I get a vibration in the steering wheel and in the whole van.The faster I'm going when I hit the brakes the worse it is. After reading some of the reviews, this sounds like a rotor, pad problem. I may be wrong but I don't think a 42,000 dollar van [Paid 30] should do that. We also have the pass slider that wont close all the way unless done by hand. I haven't brought it in yet, so we'll see.

Is it a lemon or is it the dealership?

Bought my van begining of the year. So far, I have had quirky little problems. If the Keypod is not turned on and "clicked back" nothing works, heat, radio, lights. I took it in and of course, nothing wrong. Took it back in a 3 weeks later because if I do a "california" stop, it jerks foward. Dealership told me that I need to stop at a stop sign. Lots and lots of brake dust flying out of my front tires. Said that was normal. Asked if I could get new brake pads put on, yes, for for a price. Sliding doors flew open or would not shut, fixed by new "download" repair. Now I just got back need all new ball bearings in tires. I'm going back to Chevy.

Got this brand new in July 08. May 09 - AC completely dead. Was told it is a known problem. It took two weeks to get the part. June 09 - luggage rack knob twists off. June 09 - transmission completely went out traveling to SC. Dealer in Florence told me there's nothing wrong though it could not move when towed in on Saturday. A week later traveling home transmission went out in VA - had to have a brand new one installed in VA (I live in Ohio). Was told this is a common problem. Not willing to pay expenses related to extra nights stay and travel from VA to OH and back. August 09 rear brakes froze - told known problem - 10 days now and they still can't find parts. HELP ME

I bought this 45,000 vehicle in 6/08. By end of July the air had quit. Took it to get fixed. 2 weeks later I discovered an air conditioner leak that had MUSHROOMS growing in front passenger floorboard. I will send pics if any one doesn't believe this! Also brakes were messed up (crunching sound) at about 4000 miles. Took several times with them saying nothing wrong and finally had to be replaced @ 21000 miles. The all electric 3rd row seat had 2 b fixed b/c motor quit working on one side. The sliding passenger doors don't always close & has to be manually closed. Oh and the brakes are "crunching" again @ 30000 miles. Presets on the Satellite radio only (not fm) disappear & hav 2 b reprogrammed

Nicest Mini-Van I have ever driven

We recently purchased our T&C minivan and I love this vehicle. We ended up using a F&F discount and received a huge discount on the vehicle. Not only do I feel like I got the best minivan on the market, I got it for the best price. I love everything about the vehicle from the exterior style to the interior comfort features. The dual dvd system, sat tv are the best thing one could ever find in a car to keep the little ones quiet. I can now either drive in piece and quiet or listen to whatever I want and the kids can still be happy watching what they want with the headphones. Great feature!
