I've owned mine for 7 months now, bought it used, loved the looks and all the bells and whistles were there for a decent price. Luckily I had a few months left on the factory warranty because I immediately had to fix a few minor problems, fog lamp kept going out, door trim kept falling out. Then the ABS/Stability Control/Traction Control lights kept saying needs service. First they said it was one wheel needed some lubricant on the socket, light went out for about a day, came back on, this time it was a different code, they did a front wheel alignment, then the next day the lights came back on again, this time they had to order a new module, took a week and replaced it, so far so good. Now the fuel tank sending unit is saying the tank is empty when I fill up, it begins working normally again once the tank goes down a couple gallons but the low fuel light and bells keep going off while driving. Also, the door trim is falling out again as well. I think I'm one of the lucky ones when I read some of the other complaints, but still a 3 year old car should not be having these problems and I seriously worry about future reliability, especially since GM has discontinued these. I think I'm going to eat the cost and buy a foreign van.

Just purchased a 2008 Chevy Uplander LS and those 3rd row headrests are bothersome. Does anyone have a way to lower or remove them? There are slots on the back rests but I cannot figure out any way to adjust them.

. I've got a newly purchased 2009 Montana Ext SV6 van. Was told same vehicle as the 2009 Uplander Van - except minor different cosmetics. I'm in the midst of buying / installing a Brake Controller - to power the electric brakes on my 6x10 utility trailer. Will soon buy either Primus or Husky brand of brake controller. For this van and its brake peddle switch or BCM output brake wire, what wire do I "tap" into? I get the feeling the +3V / +12V current on the Brake Controller input lead might get get very confused with its +3V wire. Thus, I wonder if there's a different "input" wire (that has either 0V or +12V off/on state) should be used instead. Within historical posts, I remember reading the "white wire" above the brake peddle switch (bundled with lots of other wires) should be used. But that was on an '06 Uplander van. Not too sure if it applies to '07 - '09 models as well. Thanks for your "what wire to tap into?" feedback. .

Replying to: genmtrfan (Apr 03, 2008 2:18 pm) I am the owner of a small manufacturing firm that makes replacement bushings for your vehicle and a number of others. They cost $165 for a set of two. These are not the same design as the original and should last many years and many miles longer. Check out our web site at www.waltonmfg.com. It is a bit out of date as presently it only deals with our product for Cadillac automobiles, but we recently began to make a similar product for a number of all wheel drive GM vehicles. |
