2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette GS review from North America

The rear air conditioner ducts were unhooked.

The radio would change channels by itself.

The dash lights flickered off and on like a disco.

The front seat material wore through to the frame 3 times in 8 months. While at the dealer for warranty work, I noticed the same on other GM minivans.

The foam material on the steering wheel started to rub off on my hands.

The power sliding door was twice recalled.

The outside rear-view mirrors vibrated so much that they were useless.

At 35,000 miles, the dealer told me that the steering was about to go out They replaced it under warranty, but that was the final blow to my confidence in the van.

I bought this van one year old to replace my old Plymouth Voyager. I had it for 8 months. Out of that time it was at the dealer for a total of 6 weeks. On the way to work in the old van I could see it sitting in the service department of the dealer. This was the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Nothing worked right. GM should put the money into things that matter on a vehicle, Such as better padding on the seats so that they do not get torn by the seat frame, leather on the steering wheel instead of the black foam. The only redeeming quality was that the radio volume increased and decreased according to the speed. I think that they put this feature on so you could impress your friends when they picked you up at the dealer after you dropped it off.
