#22 of 23 2005 Uplander Owner History by genmtrfan Nov 02, 2009 (1:18 pm)
We've had our '05 Uplander about 4.5 years. Bought it new and now it has 77,000 miles. We had the first year problems fixed under warranty-flickering lights, body molding issue, air bag rattle, horn springs replaced because the horn was too stiff. Most of these issues were TSB-covered. Also replaced both sway bark links in the front. I did this myself and paid about $35 each for them (I noticed that the replacements were thicker than the originals). That's the only out-of pocket cost I've incurred other than tires and brakes. Definitely need to upgrade the tires and brakes upon replacement and keep the allignment job current. Bottom line is that I'd definitely buy it again. With my GM card I bought a 30,500 vehicle for 23,800 and I've only put $70 into it. I have a family of 6 and here are the things we love..Smooth ride, DVD system with wireless headphones- no issues after 4.5 years, automatic sliding doors have worked perfectly, cool wheels, styling, audio system sound, room and versatility, gas mileage, reliabliity. No engine or transmission issues to date.
