| Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chevrolet Uplander?
I am coming from a 2000 model explorer limited which I loved but didn't suit my growning family - no 3rd row. So, I love the room. However, I struggled to find a vehicle with 3 in middle row and 3 in back --- that I could also afford. I love the DVD, I love the semi-leather that I have, so far the gas mileage is good (comparable to the explorer limeted). The best thing for me and 3 under 6 is the double power sliding doors! Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Uplander?
I purchased a 2005 model in 2008 for cost issues - I could actually afford this car and the perks (DVD, sliding doors, leather etc...). My best friend has a Venture that she loves and I followed suit. On day one, the little clips that hold the second row seatbelts in a better position for kids - one broke in half. On day two, the second one broke. I will get these replaced when I first need to take it in for something more serious, but I don't hold much hope that they will survive any longer.
On my particular uplander - there is absolutely no cigarette lighter/plug for my cell phone except in the cargo area behind the 3rd row (not very convenient for cell phone usage). I understand that an ashtray package was an option - but the plugs too???
I purchased a great little console gadget at Wal-Mart because there does not seem to be enough room for all the "stuff" a mom needs to keep in the front seat. However, there was plenty of room for my little add on and I like it because it is soft sided and therefore nothing rattles when I hit a bump - so perhaps I am better off. 2005 Chevrolet Uplander Review:
I have only owned for a few weeks - so I can't respond except to say that my kids love it and I am happy to have been able to afford what I wanted - I am in the middle of a divorce and so I couldn't afford many of the cars that I might have liked to have had. I purchased a 2005 with part leather and DVD and dual sliding doors with 44K miles for $12K - I'm happy!
I have read horrible reviews - so I opted for the extended warranty at Driver's Way for $2,000 - for 4 years or 48K miles. My trade cancelled out the expense and if i need it - it covers pretty much everything except brakes, oil and tires.
My friend with the Venture has never had any problems with hers - so I am hoping for the best. |

I like the space and the dvd player and the sliding doors. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Uplander?
After having my van for a month and ten days I started having problems with the right side sliding door opening after it had been closed. I Was very disappointed that this was not the first time this problem had been addressed. OTHER OWNERS had this same problems. This is a serious issue and why wasn't a recall done concerning the right side sliding door? The right side slinging door should of been recalled. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING HURT OR KILLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. 2005 Chevrolet Uplander Review:
FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE SLIDING DOOR. |

Very nice anemities, leather, cd, air, and the ride is nice. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Uplander?
The rotors are bad and need constant repair which causes the vehicle to go through brake pads quickly. I have had nothing but problems with this uplander ever since we purchased it in 2007. A wheel bearing, new rotors and now the Chevy dealer just quoted me $7,000.00 to replace the transmission and rear differential. I only have 100,000 miles on the vehicle. I will NEVER get another Chevy again. 2005 Chevrolet Uplander Review:
A money pit and full of problems! |

Color, style and options. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Uplander?
Brakes, rotors, stabilizer bar, ABS lights/brakes and now engine problems. The problem is I service it according to the manual. Maintenance cost/cash drainer. 2005 Chevrolet Uplander Review:
Warranty is too low, and dealer is always finding something wrong. He isn't too sympathetic and I had a Venture before this. Neither car was very comfortable or remained in the fleet long enough? I think GM has a problem with this model. |

I own a 2005 and the front rotor system sucks!!!!!!!!!!
Having to resurface the rotors every 10,000 miles or less is awful. Tried replacing them with EBC rotors that have cuts in the face to keep them cool and didn't do much better. I have 60,000 miles on the car now and when you try to stop the car the steering wheel shakes especially at high speeds.
Could use more room inside and I have problems with the right side door opening after parked and locked. 2005 Chevrolet Uplander Review:
Don't recommend buying one with a five bolt pattern wheel. When they changed to the 6 bolt pattern I think in 2007 it seems they eliminated the problem. Car has been in the shop way too many times. Just keep on spending money for repairs. |

I love all the interior space. My sister has a Sedona and she has no space. I can 7 adults and a ton of stuff. My van has a cargo rack on the roof and I don't even need it because there's so much space. I also love that the dvd player has headphone jacks so that my daughter can watch tv and I can still listen to music. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Uplander?
It does have a few blind spots but it doesn't bother me too much. 2005 Chevrolet Uplander Review:
I love this van!!!! My husband will even drive it because he says that it looks more like an suv than a van :) |

Don't buy it unless you put aside $150/month for needed upkeep & repairs in addition to the payment even with the extended GM protection plan. |

i like all the passenger room in the uplander. i also have a handicap son who's wheelchair fits in the back. the uplander is also known to be converted for handicap people. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Uplander?
my 2005 uplander has been a major problem since i bought it. The right side door will re-open it's self after i have closed it. Also, when driving the uplander the doors will come unlocked and the right side door will open itself as the vehicle is moving down the road. We have to stop the vehicle and put it in park, then shut the door. this needs to be a improvement on the vehicle. we've had it fixed several times in which they think it's fine... |

they are great minivans especially for families.
not competitive my butt they have many great accesseries. whoever said that has no taste or class and should be fired from their current job many people have these minivans and they said that their minivan was the best one ever.and that they would reccommend it to anyone I am a hollywood reporter
and i have been informed that brangelina have one of these minivans they are better than any caravan caravans have very cheap exterrior and interrior. in conclusion uplanders rock infact all GM minivans rock if they are anything like the uplander older or not that goes for the Venture,Uplander,Relay,
Silhoutte,Terrezza,
Montana,Montanna sv6
LuminaAPV and any others you can think of. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Uplander?
