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

I FILLED MY 2005 CHEVY UPLANDER WITH GAS AND IT STILL READS LOW FUEL AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. *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

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER. SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENS AND/OR CRACKS PARTIALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DOOR LATCH DOES NOT FULLY RELEASE; THEREFORE, THEY REPLACED THE ACTUATOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AND HAS WORSENED. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,776 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,876.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET UP LANDER. WHILE DRIVING (MPH UNKNOWN) THE REAR DOOR OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BCM COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THEY REPAIRED THE BCM; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE DEALER STATED THE CONNECTORS NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THEY CLEANED THE CONNECTORS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED 5 TIMES ON A 2005 CHEVY UPLANDER AND NEED TO BE TURNED AGAIN. STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REBUILT FROM THE CONSTANT VIBRATION CAUSED BY THE WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO OWN UPLANDERS, WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON-LINE CONCERNING THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN NOT GET A RESPONSE FROM GM CONCERNING THE ISSUE. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35-65 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WOULD WHISTLE. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, NEW GLUE WAS APPLIED AROUND THE WINDSHIELD. ON THE FOLLOWING OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. ON MARCH 12, 2008, WHILE GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH, WATER BEGAN POURING INTO THE REAR TAILGATE WINDOW. THE DEALER HAS NOT YET BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 53,280. UPDATED 3/25/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE WINDSHIELD NOISE IS DUE TO THE BODY STYLE OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE REAR WINDOW WAS A CRACKED BRAKE LIGHT AND NOT THE WINDOW. UPDATED 03/25/08 *TR

I HAVE HAD TO JUMP START MY 2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES (TODAY 2-21-2008 BEING THE THIRD). THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED ONCE, THE RADIO WAS REPLACED THE SECOND TIME. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A DIAGNOSES TO THE PROBLEM TODAY, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START EVEN WITH A JUMP FROM A TOW TRUCK. THE ONLY ITEM INSTALLED AFTER MARKET ON THIS VEHICLE WAS A SIT AND LIFT SEAT, INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT A COST OF $5000. THE SEAT HAS PERFORMED WITHOUT FAILURE, OTHER THAN A FEW TIMES IT WOULD NOT OPERATE UNLESS THE SIDE SLIDING DOOR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS OPENED OR CLOSED, DEPENDING ON IT STATUS AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. *TR

ACCESS TO HORN PRESS BUTTON DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE WITHOUT VISUAL GUIDANCE THEREBY DISTRACTING DRIVER FROM PRIORITY NAVIGATION CONTROL, BECAUSE OF EXACT ACCESS POINT DIFFICULT TO LOCATE CAUSING DELAY OF NECESSARY EMPLOYMENT FOR AN IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY REQUIREMENT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LATCH FAILURE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FASTEN MY SEATBELT IT WILL NOT CATCH AND LOCK. IT USUALLY TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FASTEN SEATBELT BEFORE IT WILL ENGAGE AND LOCK. I LISTED THE LAST TIME IT OCCUR; HOWEVER, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER, MILEAGE 23,344, NUT THAT HOLDS WINDSHIELD WIPER ARMS TO MOTOR CAME OFF DURING A RAINY EVENING. WIPERS CEASED TO WIPE RAIN FROM WINDSHIELD. *TR

WHEN I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE LIGHTS FLICKER AND THE BLOWER SLOWS DOWN. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO START IT, THE ENGINE WON'T START. *TR

THE REAR SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND ENGINE IS OFF. IT ALSO OPENS WHEN I ENTER THE DRIVERS SIDE AS I CLOSE THE DRIVERS DOOR. YESTERDAY IT OPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES WITHIN SECONDS BEFORE I FINALLY GOT IT TO STOP. IF I LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE UNLOCKED IT WILL OPEN SOMETIME LATER AFTER I HAVE GONE INTO THE HOUSE. THE ONLY WAY I CAN KEEP IT FROM OPENING IS TO MAKE SURE IT IS LOCKED. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO OPEN WHILE I AM IN MOTION. *TR

ONE DAY I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WOULDN'T LATCH ALL OF THE WAY. AFTER ABOUT 10 ATTEMPTS TO GET THE DOOR TO LATCH COMPLETELY, IT FINALLY DID. BUT WHILE ON THE ROAD, I HEARD THE WARNING SOUND LETTING ME KNOW THAT MY DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WAS AJAR. THE DOOR DIDN'T COMPLETELY OPEN, BUT WAS CRACKED AS I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO GET ANOTHER REPAIR DONE UNDER WARRANTY AND I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD FIX THE SLIDING DOOR PROBLEM AS WELL. THEY HAD DECIDED THAT IT WAS THE SEALS AND REPLACED ALL OF THEM, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE THEN AND NOW MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS STILL OCCURRING. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM AND FLICKER CONTINUOUSLY. THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT GM DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY UPLANDER. BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS LIKE TO REOPEN BY THEMSELVES. WE BOUGHT THE VAN USED IN FEBRUARY 2006. THE FIRST TIME IT STARTED HAPPENING WAS MARCH OF 2006. WE FINALLY TOOK THE VAN IN JUNE OF 2006 TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. WE HAD IT IN A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEY FINALLY TOLD US THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LATCH AND LOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT IN A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES AND STILL THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO SEE IF THE SEALS WERE GETTING IN THE WAY. AGAIN, NOTHING. GM THEN TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION. THAT DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. GM THEM TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOW WHAT? *TR

BRAKE ROTORS WARP ON REGULAR BASIS. 4 TIMES IN 20,000 MILES (2 YEARS). UNLESS REPLACED VAN STOPS WITH DIFFICULTY AND COULD RESULT IN CRASH. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2006 WE HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO MAKE EXTENSIVE REPAIRS ON AN ON GOING BASIS. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE ALIGNED & BALANCED ALMOST MONTHLY WHICH HAS RESULTED IN US REPLACING THE TIRES ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED 3 WKS AGO WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME ON A 55 MPH 2 LANE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE & CHECK OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED. UPON TOWING IT TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP WE WERE INFORMED THE TIMING BELT BROKE WHICH WARPED THE CAM SHAFT. GM WOULD DO NOTHING UNTIL WE TOWED IT AGAIN, THIS TIME TO A GM DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO HAVE EXTENSIVE PROBLEMS FROM THE ENGINE, TO THE TIMING BELT, CAMP SHAFT, PISTONS, PLUGS AND MUCH MORE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER. THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WOULD NOT STAY LATCHED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING THE DOOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SIX TIMES NOW FOR THE LATCH FAILURE AND THE DOOR OPENING ON ITS OWN. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS RETRIEVED FROM THE DEALER, THEY STATED THAT IT WAS REPAIRED WHEN IT WAS NOT. WHEN THE BUTTON WAS PRESSED TO CLOSE THE DOOR, IT WOULD BEGIN TO SHUT AND AN ALARM WOULD SOUND; HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT SHUT AND FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS BEGINNING TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME FAILURE. NEITHER THE WEATHER NOR THE SPEED WERE FACTORS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,800 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,043. THE DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, CHECK BRAKE CONDITION, AND HUMMING NOISE LEFT FRONT HUB AREA. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A REPORT ABOUT MY CHEVY UPLANDER. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE AT LEAST 5 TIMES TO THE GM DEALER ABOUT MY AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS BEING FIXED. I CAN LOCK THE DOORS AND GO INTO A STORE AND COME OUT AND THE DOOR WILL BE WIDE OPEN. I WILL CLOSE THE DOORS AND IT WILL CLOSE AND THEN IT WILL DING AND OPEN BACK UP. RECENTLY WE WENT ON A TRIP TO ORLANDO, FL. AND WE STOPPED TO USE THE RESTROOM WHEN WE CAME BACK OUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. MY HUSBAND PHYSICALLY HAD TO SHUT IT AND IT WOULDN'T STOP DINGING. MY HUSBAND CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY SENT US TO A PLACE IN GAINESVILLE, FL. THEY TOLD US IT WAS A RELAY SWITCH GONE BAD THEY UNPLUGGED IT , OUR DEALERSHIP ASKED IF WE WOULD BRING IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY WOULD FIX IT. WHEN WE BROUGHT IT BACK THEY STATED THAT ALL IT WAS THE KEYLESS ENTRY PAD WAS NOT WORKING. I DON'T WANT TO BE RIDING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 7 YEAR AND HAVE MY DOORS OPEN AND SOMETHING HAPPEN TO THEM. PLEASE HELP! *JB

THE RIGHT REAR POWER SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2006 CHEVROLET UPLANDER WILL NOT SHUT PROPERLY. IT WILL START TO LATCH, THEN POP BACK OPEN. IT HAS ALSO POPPED OPEN WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER AND ATTEMPT TO CLOSE IT. *TR

BOTH PASSENGER SLIDING DOORS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED ON NUMEROUS TIMES. PROBLEMS INCLUDE FAILURE TO CLOSE PROPERLY. ON ONE OCCASION THE LEFT PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN. OTHER TIMES THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, MAY OPEN BUT WILL NOT SHUT AT ALL. THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM INVOLVES THE SLIDING DOORS STARTING TO CLOSE THEN STOPPING AND OPENING BACK. OFTEN SEVERAL TRIES ARE NEEDED TO GET THE DOOR CLOSED. ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE "BEEPING" ALARM ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOORS WILL GO OFF AND NOT STOP FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES - EVEN AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THE VAN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ABOUT 9 OR 10 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. EACH TIME A DIFFERENT REMEDY IS OFFERED (REPLACING DOOR LATCHES, WEATHER STRIPPING, ETC) TO NO AVAIL. NOW CHEVROLET WILL NOT WORK ON IT UNLESS THE PROBLEM IS PRESENTING ITSELF AT THE TIME WE TAKE IT. *JB

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

CANNOT GET ANY HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUES TO OCCUR. GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE LAST TIME OUR UPLANDER WAS IN WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE IS INTERNAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON RECORD: SERVICE BULLETIN:3278 NHTSA ITEM NUMBER:10011754 SERVICE BULLETIN:3532 NHTSA ITEM NUMBER:10016718 SERVICE BULLETIN:050864013 NHTSA ITEM NUMBER:10017349 SERVICE BULLETIN:3798 NHTSA ITEM NUMBER:10021078 SERVICE BULLETIN:070864007 NHTSA ITEM NUMBER:10021456 THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 42,000 AND DOOR PROBLEMS STARTED AT 700 MILE WITH A COMPLETE REAR DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR FAILURE RESULTING IN THE DEALER COMPLETELY REBUILDING THE ASSEMBLE CABLES, DRIVE MOTOR AND SENSORS. *TR

ON MARCH 17, 2007 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 PM MY HUSBAND, MYSELF AND 4 CHILDREN ARRIVED HOME. WE OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER. MY OLDEST DAUGHTER 7 WAS SITTING ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEN SHE UNBUCKLED THE SEAT BELT AND SHE STARTED YELLING THAT SHE COULDN'T GET OUT! MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE BACK TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG ,AND SHE WAS COMPLETELY ENTANGLED IN THE SEAT BELT. SHE WAS CRYING HYSTERICALLY, AND WAS SCARED TO DEATH! SOMEHOW WHEN SHE UNBUCKLED THE SEAT IT RETRACTED SO FAST THAT IT WAS TWISTED AND ENTANGLED AROUND HER WAIST. IT LOCKED AND KEPT GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER!, IT WAS SO TIGHT THAT I COULDN'T GET MY FINGERS BETWEEN THE BELT AND HER WAIST. MY HUSBAND TRIED UNLOCKING THE SEAT BELT BUT IT JUST KEPT GETTING TIGHTER. WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CUT IT OFF ON HER. IT WAS SO TIGHT THAT IT LEFT BRUISES AND MARKS COMPLETELY AROUND HER WAIST. CURRENTLY, SHE AND MY 3 YEAR OLD SON ARE SCARED TO DEATH TO GET INTO THE CAR. I CONTACTED GM AND THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY. GM SENT AN INSPECTOR TO TAKE PICTURES. GM CLAIMED THAT THEY FOUND NO DEFECT WITH THE BELT, AND IT WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS OUR CHOICE TO CUT THE SEAT BELT.

WHEN LEAVING WORK WHILE IT WAS SNOWING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE OPERATING. DURING THE TRIP HOME, THE WIPERS BECAME JAMMED BECAUSE OF BUILD UP OF SNOW UNDER PART OF THE HOOD THAT HIDES WIPERS WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN USE. THE WIPERS TRIED TO MOVE BUT COULD ONLY SHUDDER IN PLACE. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE SNOWFALL WITHOUT WIPERS. UPON REACHING HOME AND OPENING THE HOOD I HAD TO REMOVE SNOW THAT WAS PACKED AROUND WIPER ARMS. THE WIPERS THEN STARTED TO OPERATE AGAIN. I WILL BE BRINGING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER SINCE THIS OCCURED AT NITE. OBVIOUS THE DESIGN IS POOR AND DANGEROUS. THSI VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 19,000 MILES TO DATE.

IN PURCHASING THE UPLANDER THE SALESMAN DEMONSTRATED THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE BLOCKING OF SLIDING SIDE DOORS BY STICKING HIS ARM IN THE PATH OF THE DOOR (WELL BEFORE IT SHUT) AND THE DOOR STOPPING AND RETRACTING. IN DEMONSTRATING THIS FEATURE TO MY GRANDCHILDREN I PLACED MY HAND IN THE WAY OF THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING REAR DOOR AND ALLOWED IT TO CLOSE ON MY HAND, THE DOOR DID NOT RETRACT AND TRAPPED ME THERE WITH MY HAND IN THE DOOR. IT WAS PAINFUL TO SAY THE LEAST AND MY GRANDCHILDREN WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT COULD PUSH THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE DOOR. I REPORTED THE MISHAP TO THE SALESMAN AT THE CHEVY DEALERS BUT NOTHING WAS EVER DONE. THE PROBLEM AS I SEE IT IS THAT ANY SMALL CHILD TRYING TO KEEP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING WOULD REACH FOR THE DOOR AND IN DOING SO WOULD PLACE HIS HAND IN THE DOOR IN THE SAME POSITION I WAS IN WHEN I DEMONSTRATED THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" TO MY GRAND CHILDREN. THIS FEATURE APPARENTLY WORKS ONLY WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIDING FORWARD AND NOT WHEN IT IS CLOSING. *JB
