I love my van. I use it for transporting dogs to and from competitve events and vet visits. It's a perfect size for my purpose and its very easy to take seats in and out for whatever I need it. It's been very reliable. The only thing I've had repaired on it was a water pump gasket.

This car has major problems with it from day one. The first time in it and started it the check engine light was on. The car pulled to right, the a/c kept blowing warm. Engine tap. Tranny slips into reverse. Window kept coming loose. Blinker has moisture, bowtie was peeling. Multiple repairs on the right side sliding doors. Tierod replaced, gas pedal assembley replaced. Differential, had to be completely rebuilt. Glove box lock assembley, rear door windows both leaked water. Rear jack cover keeps falling off, seat belt retainers all broke off. Gas tank cap assembley replaced, gas gauge never read correct. 1/8 of tank left me 1 gal gas. This is all I can remember. p.s. The check engine light is on again, cause, fuel

I love my van. I can throw so much stuff in it and drive it anywhere in the snow. I live on an 800ft gravel drive that is plowed by our farm tractor and the Van has never let me sit. We pack in six kids, two dogs, and two adults and go anywhere. The only problem is the price of gas.

I bought this vehicle to haul our six kids around, and had many problems due to poor GM quality (just get it through the bumper-to-bumper wty). For over $30,000 you don't get much for your money except a big 6.0L V8 engine: no rear cupholders, no rear headrests, rear bench seats uncomfortable for adults, poor fit and finish, and plastic parts break easily. Even with rear A/C it struggles to keep cool on 90 degree days. OEM tires needed replacing at less than 30K miles. Been recalled three times. Problems before 36K miles: radio failed, plastic window latch broke, door switch broke, door latch broke. Front bearings separated at 37K miles. A/C leak at 38K, rotors warped at 40K, window switch fail at 42K

THE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS
THAT THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS
AVAILABLE, NO BUG SHIELD, NO HOOD BRAS
ETC. BODY IS CONSTRUCTED OF THINNER
METAL THAN WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER
NORMAL. I COMPARED IT TO MY DODGE VAN.
THE WAY THE PLASTIC INTERIOR WALLS
INTERLOCK IS A DISGRACE, ESPECIALLY AT
THE PRICE I PAID. SOME PLASTIC JUST
LAYS IN PLACE, NO INTERLOCKING
MECHANISM. THE TOUTED OIL CHANGE LIGHT
IS USELESS TO ME, IT GOES OFF AT 7000
MILES, I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000. THE
STEP UP, IF YOU ARE A SHORT PERSON, IS
IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT HOLDING ON TO THE
SEAT AND PULLING YOURSELF IN.
BANG FOR THE BUCK!

IF YOU WANT POWER, GREAT LOOKS, TONS OF
ROOM AND NOT BE LUMPED INTO THE SOCCER
MOM MINI VAN CROWED THIS IS THE VAN FOR YOU!
BUT WAIT!, WHAT ABOUT THE POOR GAS MILEAGE?
GO ON ANY DEALER LOT AND SEE HOW MANY
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS YOU WILL SAVE OVER
THEIR MINI VAN COUNTERPARTS. YES, ENOUGH
TO OFFSET MANY YEARS OF "MEDIOCRE" GAS
MILEAGE.

I have the small V-8 and its gas
mileage is ok. When I have alot of
weight in it the engine has a hard
time, but when its gets on the
expressway its gone. I have the cargo
van and it's very roomy and fun to
drive. I would recommend it to anyone.

Chevy doesn't have their act together
on this vehicle yet. The assembly is
poor. Door & hinge weather gaskets &
grommets are missing or falling off.
Unpainted sealant on the door hinges
and entry areas is present. The fuel
fill door compartment is a collection
area for road salt and sand. The
vehicle is plagued with driveline
vibrations and resonance problems. I
expected Chevrolet to resolve the
issues -- they have not. The interior
is the best they offer and it is dull
at best. The seats don't belong in a
vehicle that lists for over $35,000.
The ride is very smooth suspension
wise. Acceleration is good when called
upon.
