Built in problems - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By dickw1 - December 27 - 5:33 amOu Oldsmobile Silhouette Premiere had 10,400 miles on it when we purchased it, but at 30,000 things started to fail. First the AC condenser leaked freon, then had to have rear brakes replaced owing to the shop said was a rock between the pad and rotor (not a warrantee item). Last, the head gaskets started to leak at less than 39,000 miles (a $1,700 job). After 50 plus years as a GM owner, things are going wrong that I never experienced with other cars. I am losing faith in the GM brand, owing, chiefly, to GM refusing to quit using the same cheap gaskets for the last 10- 12 years that I am aware of.

Great Luxury MiniVan - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By Oldsman - September 25 - 10:40 amBought this van from a private owner. It is a nice luxury minivan with lots of neat features. I love the dual power sliding doors and the rear parking sensor. It drives real smooth and its been great on trips. I have the van regularly serviced and change the oil every 5000 miles and belts and hoses every 2 years. This van has been very reliable for me. I guess Ill have to look at the Buick or Chevy version when I go to replace it.

No problems so far - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By saterf - February 13 - 2:00 amThis is the first American vehicle we have bought in a very long time due to past realiability issues. I have driven it on several 1,000 mile +, one-way trips, and have been pleased with the reliability so far.

Very Unreliable! - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By Angie - May 2 - 11:16 amWe had continuous repairs that had to be done. Air compressor leaked causing no airconditioner-$3k for repairs. Rear lights always went out having to replace the fuses constantly. Front lights did not seal well even after replacing the covers so we had to replace headlights monthly alot. Sliding doors opened on their own even with vehicle turned off. Engine blew at 90k miles-$6k. Roters and wheel barrings replaced 3 times. Traction system repaired, Cd player jams when changing Cds, constant electronic malfunctions. In an accident the van at 40mpg rolled when it hit the ditch, both sliding doors popped open during roll and all the windows busted out- extremely unsafe. Very unreliable vehicle!

100,000 miles and still going - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By john - December 17 - 8:56 pmNice van. Had intake gaskets replaced at 50,000. Driver seat replaced because recliner handle broke and seat tore. This should never have happened, but it did.

Lovinit - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By Greatvan - July 27 - 10:00 amTraded our 2000 GL for this GLS. No major problems with either van, a great deal on Olds! Seats are sized for REAL adults, not like Hondas pint sized seats! Solid, Dependable, Luxurious, Great gas mileage, hauling capabilities, towing package, self- leveling suspension! Fantastic, sure are going to miss Oldsmobiles when they are no longer made. :-(

Trouble Free - 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By HARK - July 13 - 10:00 amThis is my second Silhouette. I had a 2000 that only had some minor problems in its 30,000 miles.(cupholder, pull strap) I now have 6000 miles on my 2002, and there were no adjustments or problems with the vehicle. It stickered for just under 29,000 and after the $3,500 rebate, $1,500 owner loyalty, $1,000 rebate instead of the 5/60 warranty, $850 GM card rebate, and the $2,500 discount, I paid less than $19,500.
