“I own a 2005 chevy Uplander. The passenger rear door doesn't seem to want to close. On a few occasions the door has opened while driving down the road. Other times the door randomly starts beeping and will not stop, even if you turn the van off and get out it still beeps. Is there a recall on the doors of this type of van. I have found many complaints expressing concerns over this same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10380835, filed 2011-02, 120,000 miles“Yes my 2005 chevy Uplander ls automatic door opened up while driving. Took it to the shop and they put lubrication on the sensors and ever since then they don't close/open properly (it takes atleast 20 min to close 1 door) or when they do they lock my children in the vehicle. I'm unable to open the door and have to get my children through the driver side door or hatchback.”
NHTSA complaint #10283479, filed 2009-09, 58,800 miles“This complaint covers many components of the chevy Uplander that has spanned over the three years that we have owned the van. All problems are unable to be diagnosed by dealerships and chevy refuses to help us. I have been in contact with chevy from about the second time that the van went to the shop for electrical problems. …”
NHTSA complaint #10234001, filed 2008-07, 3,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10203632, filed 2007-09, 24,231 miles“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.”
