We were quite fortunate we bought this during a promoton where GM was selling it with 60,000 mile, 60 month warrantries. We used it. The seat warmers constantly failed. One of the power slide doors failed. The rear tail lights constantly burned out, and GM refuses to admit a flaw. Even the DVD remote is a disappointment ... it is constantly running down the battery. We know have plenty of batteries and a screw driver to deal with this.

Ou Oldsmobile Silhouette Premiere had 10,400 miles on it when we purchased it, but at 30,000 things started to fail. First the AC condenser leaked freon, then had to have rear brakes replaced owing to the shop said was a rock between the pad and rotor (not a warrantee item). Last, the head gaskets started to leak at less than 39,000 miles (a $1,700 job). After 50 plus years as a GM owner, things are going wrong that I never experienced with other cars. I am losing faith in the GM brand, owing, chiefly, to GM refusing to quit using the same cheap gaskets for the last 10- 12 years that I am aware of.

I bought this vehicle new in 2002. It had a sticker price of over $35,000. I now have 50,000 miles and can't wait to unload it. The vehicle has AWD and is a nice looking van but it has one flaw. It's a GM! I have had to replace the wheel bearings twice, the heater in the front sear twice and now the rear gasket needs replaced at a cost of $900. GM of course is not willing to assist in the repair even though there are only 50,000 miles. I have a 1997 Dodge Caravan with 105,000 miles and it never needed any repairs other than normal maintenance. I am getting it repaired and then trading it in on anything other than a GM. I would not recommend a GM and I will never ever buy one again.

With 2 young children, thought we HAD to have a minivan. Shouldn't have been this one. Heated seats gave up within first 3 months. Fan control resistor at 5 months. A/C condenser cracked at 70K miles. Intake gasket started leaking at 80K. Poor build quality, and the noisiest highway vehicle I've driven since my '76 K5 Blazer.
Solid

Pleasantly surprised by the Silhouette. Nothing wrong just like our 99. Luxurious unlike the Odyssey. Many features unavailable on the Honda.
