I loved my Town N Country but It kept having mechanical issues. It's style was what drew me. Recently I purchased a silluette and have found all the features love in the TnC without mechanical problems.
No problems so far

This is the first American vehicle we have bought in a very long time due to past realiability issues. I have driven it on several 1,000 mile +, one-way trips, and have been pleased with the reliability so far.

We had continuous repairs that had to be done. Air compressor leaked causing no airconditioner-$3k for repairs. Rear lights always went out having to replace the fuses constantly. Front lights did not seal well even after replacing the covers so we had to replace headlights monthly alot. Sliding doors opened on their own even with vehicle turned off. Engine blew at 90k miles-$6k. Roters and wheel barrings replaced 3 times. Traction system repaired, Cd player jams when changing Cd's, constant electronic malfunctions. In an accident the van at 40mpg rolled when it hit the ditch, both sliding doors popped open during roll and all the windows busted out- extremely unsafe. Very unreliable vehicle!

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.
No more GM's

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.
