STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I PURCHASED A 2005 UPLANDER FROM A GM DEALER IN JULY 2005. I NOW HAVE 32,167. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR ITS NORMAL OIL CHANGE AT 22,000 WHEN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I NEEDED FRONT AND BRAKES AND ROTORS. WE REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS AND MY ROTORS NEED TO REPLACED AGAIN. I ALSO NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT TIRE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HEAR THE NOISE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VAN IN FOR DIMMING ON THE LIGHTS AND THE VEHICLE FEELING LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME IT IS JUST THE WAY GM VEHICLES RUN. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE STARTER I WILL CRANK IT AND NOTHING THIS HAPPENS AT LEASE ONCE A DAY AND I HAVE TO RETRY AT LEAST TWO TIMES BEFORE THE VAN WILL START.THE STEERING HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TIGHTNESS AND WHEN I AM DRIVING I CAN FEEL THE BACK END SWAYING. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING AND WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS HOW IS THIS VEHICLE STILL ON THE ROAD. THE ISSUES PEOPLE ARE HAVING ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP I GO TO HAS NEVER TRIED TO FIX OR REPLACE ANY OF THE ISSUES WITH MY VAN. THEY ALSO TELL ME ITS NORMAL AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I AM LOOKING TO REPLACE THE TIRES THEY ARE BALD WHICH IS CAUSING THE VAN TO HYDROPLANE EVERYTIME IT RAINS. THE STICKER ON THE INSIDE PANEL IS DIFFERENT FROM THE TIRES. THE TIRE GOODYEAR INTERGRITY P225/60R17 STATES 44 PSI WITH A MAX LOAD OF 1653 LBS. THE INSIDE STICKER STATES 35 PSI AND MAX LOAD OF 1330 LBS. THE TIRE SIZE IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED WHEN WE CLOSE THE SLIDING DOORS THEY DO NOT SHUT, THE LATCH DOESNT CATCH THE DOOR UNTIL YOU SLAM EXTREMELY HARD. THEN MY DAUGHTER WILL TRY TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CHILD LOCK WILL BE ON WHEN WE DIDN'T SLIDE IT ON. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET UPLANDER. THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. SHE STATED THAT THE DEALER DID NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BUT ONLY ATTEMPTED TO SELL HER ANOTHER ONE. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT STRUTS AND REAR SHOCKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE REAR TIRES WERE WEARING AND CUPPING BADLY, 25% REMAINED ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS, 30% REMAINED ON THE REAR BRAKE PADS, AND THE ROTORS COULD NOT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO THE DEALER PRIOR TO THE FAILURES BECAUSE THE REAR TIRES WERE MAKING NOISE. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE DEALER KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HER VEHICLE AND WAITED FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 50,632.

2008 CHEVROLET UPLANDER WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. CONSUMER STATES WHEN HE WENT DOWN A SLIGHT DOWN HILL GRADE, HE WENT DOWN THE GRADE ON AN ANGLE. THE RIGHT WHEEL CONTACTED THE ROAD BEFORE THE LEFT WHEEL. *KB AS THE CONSUMER STARTED TO ACCELERATE, HE HEARD THE STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY PITCHED FORWARD 3 OR 4 TIMES. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED EITHER THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOCKING UP OR THE FRONT BRAKES WERE LOCKING ON. THE CONSUMER REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STARTED TO GO FORWARD. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY UPLANDER LT AND I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AROUND 3,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP. IT STARTED WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES (HARD DRIVE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, GAS GAUGE, DIMMING LIGHTS, RADIO LOSING SETTINGS, HARD STARTS, SERVICE ABS, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL) AND GRADUALLY MOVED TO MECHANICAL ISSUES (CLUCKING NOISES ? FRONT END, VIBRATIONS ? FRONT END, STEERING BINDING, AND GRINDING NOISES FROM THE FRONT END). WHAT HAS BEEN REPLACED IN HOPES OF FIXING THE ISSUES ARE THE HARD DRIVE TO THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, MAIN COMPUTER MODULE (TWICE AND REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES), STEERING COLUMN, STEERING BOX, RACK AND PINION, FRONT STABILIZING CONTROL ARMS, FRONT BRAKE, FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED, ABS CONTROL MODULE (NEVER FIXED THE SERVICE ABS AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL). THE DEALER STILL CAN?T EXPLAIN THE GRINDING NOISE AND IS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT IT IS NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VAN (THEY ACTUALLY WROTE THAT IN THE SERVICE REPORT). THEY CAN NOT RESOLVE THE SERVICE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ERRORS. THEY CAN?T RESOLVE THE HARD STARTS. THE DEALER HAS TAKEN A POSITION THAT NO MORE DIAGNOSTIC WORK WILL BE PERFORMED TO THE FRONT END UNTIL I REPLACE A CUPPED TIRE (THEIR OPINION). I HAVE HIRED A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY TO HELP WITH MY PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER HAS BEEN IN THE WORKED ON AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THE AUTOMATIC REAR SLIDING MALFUNCTIONING. IT OPENS ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY CAN FIX THIS PERMANENTLY. MY VAN WAS JUST IN THE SHOP AGAIN LAST WEEK AND IT IS ALREADY MESSED UP AGAIN. THE LATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE AND THIS IS NOT HELPING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET UPLANDER. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-40 MPH, THE REAR SLIDING DOORS OPENED AUTOMATICALLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND ON STAR CONNECTED HER TO A DEALER. THE DEALER INSTRUCTED HER TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. ONCE AT THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS (NOVEMBER OF 2007, DECEMBER OF 2007, AND ON APRIL 28, 2008). THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AFTER EACH FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED AND TOOK A COMPLAINT FROM THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,037. UPDATED 07/15/08. *LJ THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD FLICKERED WHILE DRIVING.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
REAR ELECTRONIC SLIDING DOOR, PRIMARILY THE LEFT SIDE, OCCASIONALLY GOES ALMOST CLOSED THEN JUST BEFORE IT LATCHES IT GOES BACK OPEN. USUALLY HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE PER WEEK. I CANNOT DEPEND ON IT GOING SHUT SO I HAVE TO STAND THERE AND WATCH IT UNTIL IT SHUTS COMPLETELY AND LATCHES. BEFORE I REALIZED THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM I CAME BACK TO THE VEHICLE TWICE TO FIND THE DOOR WIDE OPEN WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF PHOTO EQUIPMENT ON THE SEAT AND FLOORBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES BUT IT NEVER MALFUNCTIONED IN THE SHOP SO THEY WOULD NOT DO REPAIRS ON THE DOORS. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIVISION OF GENERAL MOTORS. THE CHEVROLET REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMED THAT THEY "HAVE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM IN THE SHOP" BEFORE THEY WILL WORK ON IT. CHEVROLET GAVE ME A PROBLEM NUMBER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND SAID IF IT EVER MALFUNCTIONS IN THE SHOP THEY WILL WORK ON IT. I GOT THE VAN BECAUSE OF MY GRANDDAUGHTERS, HOWEVER, I CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR ALONE BECAUSE THEY FORGET TO WATCH IT CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND LATCH. I CAN SEE FROM THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THE UPLANDER, MOST OF THE TIME REMAINING UNRESOLVED. I FIGURE SOME DAY THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVROLET. IF THERE IS I WANT TO BE A PART OF IT. I TOLD CHEVROLET THAT IF ANYTHING IS EVER STOLEN OUT OF THE VAN BECAUSE THE DOOR CAME BACK OPEN, THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT FROM ME. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND LAST HAPPENED THIS WEEK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FROM THE IMMEDIATE PURCHASE OF MY 2006 CHEVY UPLANDER, I HAVE HAD "MECHANICAL/COMPUTER" ISSUES. THE BATTERY HAS DIED TWICE. UPON SERVICE, IT WAS A COMPUTER WIRING ISSUE THAT WAS APPARENTLY DRAINING THE BATTERY. THE MEDIA PLAYER HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE KEY REMOTES TWICE(AND CURRENTLY STILL NOT WORKING), THE ELECTRIC SIDE MIRROR HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE CAR CONSTANTLY DISPLAYS THAT THE ABS SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL DEVICE NEEDS SERVICED AND THEE BRAKES LOCK UP. EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN THE CARE IN FOR THESE SERVICES THEY SAY IT'S JUST A COMPUTER ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY IT IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN WITH "COMPUTER ISSUES." I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN AND CAN'T SEEM TO BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF SERVICE SINCE PURCHASE, NOVEMBER OF 2007. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NESMITH CHEVROLET - HINESVILLE), THE FIRST TIME DRIVING IT AT NIGHT I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLUCTUATED WHEN PRESSURE WAS PLACED ON THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT BECAUSE SOME OTHER DRIVERS BELIEVE I AM FLASHING AT THEM, AND IN TURN FLASH THEIR HIGH BEAMS AT ME, BY THIS TIME CLOSE TO ME CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD. OTHER TIMES GIVING LARGE TRUCKS THE IDEA THAT I AM GIVING THEM THE OK TO GET BACK OVER IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN IN FACT IT ISN'T. NONE THE LESS, IT IS VERY ANNOYING TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLUCTUATING WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE ENGINE. STILL TO THIS DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR
