2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette review from North America

The first thing to go was the A/C, which went out 1 day after the warranty expired, figures. But GM replaced it anyway. THANK YOU.

The dealer also fixed the air leveling system, which was leaking when we bought it, and also replaced the tires.

The windshield wipers started "parking" in the up position when turned off at around 75,000 miles.

The manifold gasket went at 95,000, which is longer than expected as I later found out, costing $700.00 to fix.

The fan switch speeds 1-4, stopped working and high speed was intermittent until I fixed it by taking apart the switch. Still working on the other speeds.

The battery was replaced, the water pump is leaking, and the alternator has been replaced.

All in all, except the manifold gasket, normal wear and tear.

All in all, the van has been really good.

We have taken it to Colorado twice, and overheated once in the Summer, due to filling the tank before going into the mountains after driving all day in the heat, not recommended in any car or truck.

It has great acceleration, and drives fine.

The back seat hookups for the radio/CD are great for road trips.

The gas mileage on the highway is good, city is so so.

The removeable seats are great, storing them is another story.
