“2007 chevy Uplander with in the first month the door would not close then it would come open while driving this is where the child safety seat is. It has been in the shop 15 times, they have replaced every part, they have reprogrammed over and over. Chevy is saying they would give me 2000.00 off a new car. To me that is not a fix!!!!”

NHTSA complaint #10346676, filed 2010-08, 22,000 miles

“Starting soon after I bought the van, I ran into the issue of the passenger power sliding door not wanting to close. It would almost latch and then bounce back. I was able to fix the problem by opening and reclosing the door. This happens once to twice a week. I can find no previous service records on the doors on this van, but I cannot believe it did not occur with the previous owner. Based on the numerous other online complaints I have seen on this and similar issues, I have elected not to take it to the dealership. …”

“We purchased the 2007 chevy Uplander before doing any research....had we known what we know now, we would have not purchased it. Shortly after we purchased the vehicle the rear sliding doors began acting up. Sometimes they won't open and other times they randomly open on their own. When you close the door, it will stop mid-close, reopen then start closing again. When you think it is closed, it will just keep grinding and then pop back open. We were in nc on vacation when the door alarm wouldn't stop 'dinging' because the door wouldn't close all the way. …”
