Any known problems with this vehicle? Figure I beat the IMG issue, but didn't even know they made an AWD

There can be issues with the AWD. Noise is the most common complaint. There are two operating scenarios with AWD: Runs great and no problems OR Lots of expensive problems.
Rear end fluid is expensive (~$25/pint and dealer only) and fluid changeout if problems occur can cost $200+.
I have an '02 Silhouette that has been relatively trouble free. I had to change the fluid once due to noise in the rear differential. The other problems I have had are erlated to the rear suspension on AWD models. Wheel bearings and spindle bushings were expensive to replace.
