NHTSA complaint #10375335, filed 2011-01, 77,400 miles“I purchased my 2007 chevy Uplander van in 02/2010. If you are stopped and go to take off, the transmission will jerk into gear, so severely at times that it feels as if you have been hit in the rear end. In 06/2010, not completely sure of the mileage (getting that info from dealer who couldn't find the problem) I took it back to the chevy dealer I bought it at and they said it was the cadillac converter, they changed that but I still have the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10450734, filed 2012-03, 55,000 miles“The fuel gauge/fuel range has been malfunctioning since 09 in that the gauge could change or fluxuate as much as 1/8 to 1/4 tank in a very short time. The fuel range which I thought showed how many miles you should be able to drive considering the amount of fuel in the tank, that changed as much as 50 miles and a few times, the fuel gauge would read about 1/8 of a tank, and I have driven 1 block, and it showed empty. Realizing that other are other factors, I do however feel that it is a safety issue especially if I'm on the highway. …”
NHTSA complaint #10576649, filed 2014-04, 36,584 miles“When accelerating after a stop the transmission shuddered then the vehicle wouldnt go forward in the drive gear selection position. The vehicle would go in tne low gear position 1 and 2 but not in drive.”
NHTSA complaint #10971794, filed 2017-04, 134,000 miles“The vehicle will hesitate to take off after engaging a forward gear. Sometimes it will take off normally, sometimes it will shudder and buck before, or while attempting to go, and sometimes it will just sit there and do nothing but increase the engine rpms, when the rpms are back to normal it might take off or it might not. The transmission has been serviced, fluid change, not sure if the dealership changed the filter.”
