2005 Chevrolet Uplander LS review from North America

Rear wiper motor no longer works.

Front driver's side wheel bearing along with brakes and rotors replaced.

CD player works some of the time.

Radio tends to not work when vehicle shut off and restarted. Maybe an electric short somewhere.

Persistent stalling problem on ignition. Starts fine but stalls afterwards, as if the fuel pump is faulty. Have to pump the gas to keep the engine from shutting off when this happens, like with a carburetor. Seems to be a common problem with these vans.

Ride is very comfortable. handling surprisingly good for a vehicle this size, among the best I've experienced in this class.

Fuel economy not that good, however. Could do with a 5 speed transmission as the 4 speed feels unrefined at times.

Front seats very good. Those in the back sorry excuse for seats however, very poor design with skinny armrests.

Poorly equipped interior compared to others in the class. Little storage areas and fit and finish below average.

In my opinion, has the most 'presence' of any minivan with its SUV look, but is mechanically not very refined. What can I say, typical GM product.
