“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10218898, filed 2008-02, 40,000 miles“While driving down the road at 40 MPH in my chevy 2005 Uplander van the passenger rear door opens and a continuous alarm sounds. (this door was next to my 22 month-old). Previously the door would open while in park. The door has been found open in parking lots in town and in our garage. Our door on several occasions has attempted to shut, but would not, then it alarms and opens back up. We have tried to manually shut the door but it would not shut either. The door also tries to shut with people in the way. …”
NHTSA complaint #10238351, filed 2008-08, 50,001 miles“My daughter was crushed by the automatic door in our chevy Uplander. She was getting into the vehicle and the door suddenly closed on her. Luckily she only had serious bruising. It turns out that the automatic doors on the Uplander are not equipped with safety features, such as a sensor that would stop the door from closing if someone was still in the doorway. My daughter is 10, what would have happened if it were a younger child?”
