THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THIS ISSUE. SOMETIMES THE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS MORE FUEL THAN IS IN THE TANK AND OTHER TIMES IT SAYS LESS THAN IS IN THE TANK. IT IS VERY UNRELIABLE. *TR

THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY TRIES TO START THE CRANK KEEPS TURNING BUT DOES NOT START. AS WELL AS I WAS TRAVELING ON FREEWAY WITH A BIG RIG ON THE SIDE OF ME AND THE CAR STALLED AND STEERING LOCKED. THANK GOD I MANAGED TO GLIDE OVER TO THE EXIT LANE. I WAS TERRIFIED AS WAS MY PASSENGER. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GAUGES I NOTICED I WAS OUT OF GAS, BUT I HAD JUST PUT IN $20 . CHEVY SENT OUT TOW TRUCK TO GIVE ME GAS, BUT CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. FINALLY HOURS LATER CAR WAS TAKEN TO CHEVY. WHEN UPLANDER WAS FINISHED THEY SAID IT WAS ELECTRICAL SHORT DUE TO WATER IN LINES. WEATHER WAS GREAT NO RAIN OR PUDDLES ANYWHERE. UPLANDER ALMOST STALLED ON ANOTHER NIGHT LIGHTS DIMMED AND TIRES STOPPED ,BUT THEN IT WORKED FINE. STRANGE VERY!!! DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENS OR SHUTS WHEN IT WANTS. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN HER CAR SEAT AND I PUSHED BUTTON TO CLOSE DOOR SHE PUT HER FOOT UP TOWARDS DOOR AND IT SHUT AND LOCKED. LUCKILY HER TENNIS SHOES WERE A LITTLE BIG SO ONLY MINOR BRUISING OCCURRED. HOWEVER MY DAUGHTER IS TERRIFIED OF CAR. ALSO I HAVE ALREADY PUT 6 NEW TIRES ON CAR BECAUSE THEY WERE BALD AT 13,000 MILES FIRST TIME. TIRES IN FRONT ARE BALD AGAIN. UPLANDER IS NOT STABLE TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY. *TR

HAD TO ROLL VEHICLE TO NEUTRAL SO THE VEHICLE WILL START. THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO GAS IF IT WAS B NOT LEVEL PARKED. THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING FLICKERED MORE THAN ON ONE OCCASION. PEOPLE THOUGHT THE CONSUMER WAS FLASHING LIGHTS AT THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED FOR A HANDICAP PERSON. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP , AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WAS WORKING WITH MANUFACTURER TO NOT HAVE THIS VEHICLE ANY MORE DUE TO ALL THE PROBLEMS. HAD PROBLEMS SINCE FEBRUARY 2005. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO BUY THIS VEHICLE. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL IF THE GASOLINE TANK IS BELOW A HALF A TANK AND ON A HILL. CONTACT'S WIFE HIT A GARAGE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLED. SHE WAS PREGNANT, AND ALSO HAD A TWO MONTH OLD SON THAT WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM, AND THEIR ANSWER WAS NOT TO LET THE VEHICLE GO BELOW A HALF TANK. THERE WAS NO WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND TOLD HIM TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER SAID THEY COULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. GM DID SAY THEY WOULD SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO LOOK AT THE CAR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THEY LOOK AT IT. CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO. THE VEHICLE HIT THE BEAM, BUT THERE WAS NO PROPERTY DAMAGE. *AK
THE BRAUN CORPORATION HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA ABOUT A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2008 GENERAL MOTORS MOBILITY CONVERSION, HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE LOW FLOOR MINIVANS. DURING CONVERSION, THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE TRAILING ARM MODIFICATION MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY WELDED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A SQUEAKING OR CLUNKING NOISE MAY DEVELOP. THE TRAILING ARM BUSHINGS MAY PREMATURELY WEAR AND THE TRAILING ARM MAY FRACTURE OR SEPARATE, ALLOWING THE REAR AXLE TO BECOME PARTIALLY SEPARATED FROM THE CHASSIS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND WILL HAVE A SUPPLY OF RETROFIT PARTS AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 4, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BRAUN AT 1-800-488-0359.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, 'PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.' TO MEET THE STANDARD, THE VEHICLE MUST NOT MOVE FOR FIVE MINUTES WHEN STOPPED ON A STEEP HILL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL (N). SOME OF THESE VEHICLES FAILED THIS TEST.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS RELEASED, THE DRIVER MAY NOTICE UNINTENDED BRAKING WHEN ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, OR COASTING, AND A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR PARKING BRAKE LEVER SLIPPAGE AT EACH REAR BRAKE CALIPER AND REPLACE THE CALIPER IF LEVER SLIPPAGE IS IDENTIFIED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 14, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668, OR SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876.
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE OUTBOARD RELEASE HANDLE ON THE IMPACT-SIDE SECOND-ROW BUCKET SEAT MAY BE ACTUATED AND THE REAR LATCHES MAY UNLATCH EARLY IN A SIDE IMPACT CRASH. THIS WAS DISCOVERED IN A SIDE IMPACT TEST RUN BY GM, UNDER CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO NHTSA'S NEW CAR ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (NCAP) SIDE IMPACT TEST.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE REAR LATCHES OF THE SEAT RELEASE EARLY IN A SEVERE SIDE IMPACT, THE FRONT OUTBOARD LATCH MAY DISENGAGE AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT OF THE SEAT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE SEAT LATCH RELEASE HANDLE AND INSTALL A BLACK PLASTIC CAP OVER THE EXPOSED METAL STUD TO ELIMINATE THE SIDE IMPACT SAFETY CONCERN FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 5, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, AND PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
