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

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

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.
Jun 20, 2005
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.
Feb 18, 2005
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.
