#2803 of 2869 Uplander DVD Operation by jcscratch Nov 17, 2007 (7:14 pm)
Can you listen to a CD or the radio while a DVD is playing in an Uplander? (Assuming, of course, that headphones are being used for the DVD player.) Replies to this message: rlmiller9 (Nov 18, 2007 5:52 am) jcscratch (Nov 18, 2007 7:22 am)

Replying to: jcscratch (Nov 17, 2007 7:14 pm) Yes you can, it is easy and I believe the default behavior. My wife and I did that many time. There is a selection on the radio to make it push out the dvd sound if you want, but it is not the default. Replies to this message: jcscratch (Nov 18, 2007 7:22 am)

Replying to: rlmiller9 (Nov 18, 2007 5:52 am) Thanks. Our decision is down to a 2007 Uplander w/ 23,000 miles for $16,500 or a 2007 Town and Country (base model, no frills) w/ 2600 miles for $18,000. Both have DVD (a must!) But I don't think that you can listen to the radio in the Chrysler while a DVD is playing--I can't find headphone jacks on the DVD.   The Uplander's got a lot more frills and gets about the same milage, so we're leaning that way.
#2806 of 2869 Door Handle Bucket Chipping by igloo Nov 19, 2007 (12:01 am)
On my '05 Terraza, I noticed that under the handle where it touches the paint, there are black marks. I read that there is a fix or a TSB that will have the handle away from the paint by some small amount, so it would not be touching the surface. Has anyone have the TSB or some more information about what parts are used to fix the issue?

#2809 of 2869 crossbars by kimberley2 Nov 30, 2007 (6:55 pm)
Here's one for you all - I forced my dealers to include crossbars on my 2005 uplander--He installed venture? crossbars. How do i remove them -- on long highway trips they are noisy and I'm hoping for better gas millage--Any ideas?

Replying to: infinia1 (Dec 03, 2007 5:28 pm) I have not heard of any major issues with Terraza. Our friends have one.   We just placed an order for a 2008 Montana SV6 extended (they still sell them in Canada). Should be ready for March 1. Looking forward to the upgrades from our 2004 Montana regular wheel base. We have really enjoyed the Montana and it was a real work horse for my wife's business.

Replying to: rawiri (Nov 10, 2007 9:03 pm) My 2005 Buick Terraza does the same thing. I bought one in CA and noticed it pulled to the right. I went back to the dealer and had be bring up another van same year make and model. Same thing it pulled to the right.   I went to other car dealerships just out of spike and test drove three different vans all same year make and model. They ALL pulled to the right.   I contacted GM. They told me they are aware of the problem, but are not doing any recalls. They only had 3 complaints so far on file. They have to meet a quota of complaints before the issue a recall. Two years later no recall. I thought they siad it had to do with the traction control.   This is the same issue with the Uplander. GM did replace an entire set of tire for one person because the wear on the tire tread.   My advice is to call GM and/or write to file your complaint. I was #4 on the list.   Hope this helps. If you dont believe me go and test drive your model on a lot. They made the 2006 with the same problem Replies to this message: morewasabi (Jan 10, 2008 12:16 am)
