I have had to alternators installed, both front stabilizer bars installed, power rear window bracket installed, does not have a lot of power to get onto the freeways. The air conditioning does not work all the time, it cuts in and out ( more out than in ) in traffic, better to open the windows. I have been a GM buyer for a long time but after this one I think I will change.

Best, most reliable vehicle I have ever owned

Bought mine brand new in 2005. It is now 2019 and I’m still driving it. She has never let me down. Still rides and runs great. Front wheel drive handles great in snow-plows right through it. In extremely cold Midwest winters has never failed to start; not even once. This last few years I have had to put some money into it here and there, but after 14 years and 138,000 miles, some things do tend to wear out. I am starting to think about a new vehicle, even though I will hate to say goodbye to this one...I am starting to notice a bit of hard shifting and am not looking to put a new transmission in an almost 15 year old vehicle. However, I can say that, to date, this has been the best and most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I wish they still made them because I would not hesitate to buy another.

This is a follow up to our SV6 purchase in July 2005. The car does not always start - dealer found no problem with this - still happening. Tires are worn after a year - seems you are to look inside the door and not read the tires for the correct pressure. The radio switches channels without catching all of the stations on it's own. Brakes are worn and noisy. The air had to be recharged - was not keeping the inside cooled down.
This is crap from a lemon!

We bought it with 50,000 km on it and in the first month the brakes had to be done and the heater fan went. Very uncomfortable if your over 6'. Cloth seats stain badly, nice whistle sound at freeway speed, 20,000 km later brakes are gone again, tranny hesitates, slider doors don't close properly, center fold up consul was thrown out the first day, ext. trim falling off, electronics malfunctioning on a regular basis.
