NHTSA complaint #11397636 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
MY 2007 CHEVY UPLANDER HAS BECOME UNSAFE. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE GIVEN DIFFERENT GUESSES AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE. WHEN DRIVING, IF I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, OR EVEN DURING STOP-GO TRAFFIC, THE VAN WILL SUDDENLY JERK WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES THE JERK IS INCREDIBLY FORCEFUL AS IF I HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. TWO MECHANICS HAVE RECOMMENDED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT BUT SAY THAT THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE. BECAUSE THE VAN DOES THIS, IT IS HARD TO ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY FROM A STOPPING POINT. THIS CAUSES UNSAFE DRIVING/TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AS I CAN NOT BE CERTAIN MY VAN WILL IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED.

NHTSA complaint #10893799 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASING MY 2005 CHEVY UPLANDER, THE IGNITION HAS JUST SHUT OFF. NORMALLY THIS WAS WHEN IDOLING SO I WASN'T TOO SURE. HOWEVER, IT JUST TURNED OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON A MAJOR EXPRESSWAY IN CHICAGO. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THIS IGNITION SWITCH IS THE SAME ONE THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE GM RECALL, YET IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. PLEASE RECALL ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS IGNITION SWITCH AS MOST VEHICLES HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. WHY WAIT ON THE RECALL UNTIL MORE PEOPLE ARE IN ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DIE? IT ISN'T WORTH THE RISK.

SINCE WINTER OF 2012, I HAVE REPLACED 3 THERMOSTATS, 2 HEATER COILS, FLUSHED RADIATOR NUMEROUS TIMES AND STILL HAVE NO HEAT. MECHANIC IS BESIDE HIMSELF FOR AN ANSWER. THE RADIATOR GETS PLUGGED UP WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE MUD, WHICH RESULTS IN ANOTHER RADIATOR FLUSH. HE SAYS RADIATOR IS OK BECAUSE IT'S NOT OVERHEATING. WHAT AM I TO DO? I LOVE MY VAN BUT WANT HEAT. PLEASE HELP SINCERELY

NHTSA complaint #10654950 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO, MY WIFE MENTIONED THAT HER 2005 UPLANDER WOULD STALL AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. SHE SAID THERE SEEMED TO BE NO PATTERN TO WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN EXCEPT SHE WAS ALWAYS MOVING AND AFTER STOPPING IT WOULD ALWAYS RESTART. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO FOUND NOW ISSUES WITH THE CAR. I STARTED DRIVING IT AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM, UNTIL THE DAY I REALIZED THAT ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS TAP THE KEY AND IT WOULD TURN OFF. I PUT MY WIFE'S KEYS IN AND SLIGHTLY TOUCHED HER KEY CHAIN AND IT TURNED RIGHT OFF. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING. THEN I READ ABOUT THE GM RECALL ON KEY CYLINDERS FOR ALL THESE CARS BUILT AROUND THE SAME TIME AS MINE. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME OUR CAR DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. I THEN READ A RECENT ARTICLE STATING THAT OUR UPLANDER HAS ONE OF THE RECALLED CYLINDERS BUT THEY DEEMED IT "SAFE" IN OUR CAR. SAFE IS COMPLETELY INACCURATE. ANY VEHICLE THAT IS SHOWING THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED AT GM'S EXPENSE.
NHTSA complaint #10644275 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ENGINE CUT OFF WITH RESULT OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT HAPPENED AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN IN WET ROAD CONDITION, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING THROUGH THE SMALLEST OF PUDDLES. RESULTING LOSS OF ANY CONTROL OVER VEHICLE. ENGINE HAS KICKED BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF UNCONTROLLABLE COASTING. SO FAR I HAVE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. BUT NOW I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN RAIN OR THREAT OF RAIN.

ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE FOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTING, AND HEAD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.
NHTSA complaint #10633553 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND DRIVEABILITY WAS AFFECTED; REDUCED ACCELERATION AND REDUCED GAS MILEAGE, CODE 0404. OUR TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE EGR VALVE HAD FAILED. SINCE GM DOES NOT PRODUCE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS MODEL, A NEWER EGR VALVE, HARNESS AND COMPUTER REPROGRAMMING WAS NECESSARY. THE GM DEALER AND CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO HELP UNDER OUR WARRANTY COVERAGE SINCE WE WERE OUT OF THE EMISSIONS TIME LIMIT. OUR TECH INDICATED THAT GM HAS HAD SERIOUS EGR VALVE FAILURES AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DESIGN DEFECT EXCEPT WITH AN OBSCURE TECH BULLETIN. REPAIRS COST UPWARDS OF 800 DOLLARS.

1ST TIME WIFE DRIVING IN PARKING LOT. ENGINE SHUT OFF, NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, DASH BOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OFF. TOTAL POWER FAILURE. COULDN'T START, NOT SURE WHAT SHE DID TO FINALLY GET IT STARTED. NOT SERVICED @ THIS TIME. 2ND TIME VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO PEPBOY'S. COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM, BUT UPON PUTTING BACK TOGETHER IT STARTED WORKING. I DROVE TO GM DEALERSHIP. COULD NOT DIAGNOSE BECAUSE WAS NOT DISPLAYING ISSUE. I HAD THEIR MASTER MECHANIC DRIVE FOR WEEK AND HE CLAIMS EVERYTHING RUNNING FINE. 3RD TIME < THAN MONTH AFTER 2ND TIME I'M DRIVING +/- 40MPH. COME UP TO INTERSECTION, PUMP BRAKES TWICE IN QUICK SUCCESSION AND DASHBOARD EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON ALONG W/ OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. NO TIME TO TELL WHAT THEY WERE. DEPRESS BRAKE TO COME TO STOP @ INTERSECTION AND DASHBOARD GOES BACK TO NORMAL. I START OUT WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND I GET TO +/- 30MPH PUMP BRAKES TWICE AGAIN AND ENGINE SHUT OFF, NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, LIGHTS TURNED OFF "DRIVING AT NIGHT", DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OFF. AGAIN TOTAL POWER FAILURE. I PUT IN PARK, WOULD NOT START, TURNING KEY DID NOTHING, NO POWER WHATSOEVER. I PULLED KEY OUT AND WENT TO OPEN DOOR BUT COULD NOT OPEN OR UNLOCK DOOR. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF VEHICLE!!!! AT THIS POINT I MANAGED TO FLAG SOMEONE DOWN TO ASSIST ME. THEY SUGGESTED TO PUSH OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD. I PUT KEY BACK IN AND PUT IN DRIVE "HARD TO DO BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS DIGITALLY DISPLAYED" AND GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD. I TRIED TO OPEN DOOR AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT OPENED. AS OF 04-05-14 VEHICLE BACK AT SAME GM DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CLAIM BEFORE GM WILL EVEN CONSIDER ANY DEFECTIVE PARTS & PAYING FOR ANYTHING. I FIRST HAVE TO PAY THEM TO REMOVE AFTER MARKET RADIO THAT PREVIOUS OWNER INSTALLED TO RETURN VEHICLE BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION. I'M STILL NOT SURE WHAT GM WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVEN AFTER THEY DO THIS & WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

I HAVE NOTICED RIGHT AROUND THE TIME I GOT THIS VAN THAT JUST IT JUST STARTED MAKING THIS CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR END AND MAKING A NOISE THAT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT. THE DROP DOWN MODULAR HAS BEEN REALLY BOGGING DOWN AROUND 50MPH AND MAKES ME GIVE IT MORE GAS TO STOP THE KICK BACK. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER BUYING A SET OF 4 NEW TIRES FOR THE VAN. I BOUGHT WHAT THE VAN RECALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WONT GO OFF. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND STILL WONT SHUT OFF. I HAVE KEPT THE OIL CHANGED AT REQUIRED TIMES. I NOTICED THE FUEL SYSTEM ALSO HAS BEEN GIVING THE VAN A HARSH MPG ISSUES AND NOT SURE WHY. I THINK IT MIGHT BE THE DROP DOWN MODULAR THAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I NOW BEEN HAVING SINCE 2011 THE CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR END AXEL AREA AND THEN AFTER READING ABOUT THE RECALL TODAY REALLY MADE ME SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VAN BECAUSE I'M DISABLED AND IN A WHEELCHAIR. I HAVE THE LOWERED FLOOR OPTION AND I KNOW ITS GOING TO NEED THIS RECALL FIXED AND WELDED. PLEASE SEND ME A EMAIL ON HOW I CAN GET THIS VAN FIXED. I WANTED TO ALSO TELL YOU THAT THIS VAN WAS SOLD TO ME AT $32,850 AND HAD A BLOWN ENGINE THAT THEY DIDN'T TELL ME TILL AFTERWARDS. AT 20,000 MILES THE VAN BLEW UP AND THEY SOLD IT TO ME AS NEW AND IT WAS USED. THEY ALSO TRIED TO SELL ME A EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PAID FOR BY THE MANUFACTURE FOR $3,500.I FEEL I WAS DONE WRONG AND WOULD NOT OF BOUGHT THIS VAN IF I HAD KNOWN IT WAS BLOWN UP AT 20,000 MILES. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A REVIEW TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND FIXED WITH THE WELDING THAT THE RECALL CALLS FOR. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TO BE RESTARTED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED.
NHTSA complaint #10576036 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
MY ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF SHORTLY AFTER I START MY CAR. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT DO THIS FOR 5 - 7 WEEKS IN A ROW, BUT OTHER TIMES IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN A WEEK. MOST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, BUT SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AFTER WORK. IT DIES WITHIN 1/4 MILE OF BEING STARTED -- GENERALLY WHILE I'M STILL IN A PARKING LOT OR JUST PULLING ONTO THE ROAD. MY CAR IS PARKED OUTDOORS AND I LIVE IN A MILD CLIMATE. WEATHER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FACTOR. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY STARTED THE CAR AND REFUSED TO LOOK INTO IT FURTHER.
NHTSA complaint #10575786 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A PRIVATE OWNER ON 2/14/14. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHICH IS A PROBLEM AT NIGHT, WHICH MEANS I CAN ONLY DRIVE IT DURING THE DAY AND WITHOUT IT LIGHTING UP THERE ARE NO CODES AVAILABLE. I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING ON THE HIGHWAY, OR IF I AM LOW ON FUEL, OR IN ANY OTHER KIND OF DANGER. ONE EVENING I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE AT NIGHT AND IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS SO AFRAID. I HAD NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, SO I HAD NO IDEA HOW FAST I WAS GOING. ALSO, A NEW BATTERY WAS PUT IN THE VAN ON 2/14/14, AND ON 2/17/14 THE ENTIRE VEHICLE DIED ON ME IN THE HOSPITAL PARKING GARAGE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID THAT THE BATTERY WAS NOT SUPPORTING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE BATTERY THAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE VEHICLE MANUAL. I TRAVEL A LOT WITH MY CHURCH AND AM SO AFRAID THAT THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO LEAVE ME STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY OR WORST. THE WHEELS AT TIMES SEEM AS THOUGH THEY ARE ABOUT TO COME OFF. I PUT TWO BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THE TIRE COMPANY SAID THE OTHER TWO WERE OKAY, SO WHY DOES IT SHAKE AND FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE COMING OFF? THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT OPEN, AND THE RADIO LIGHTING WORKS SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE THE RADIO BECAUSE IT CAUSES THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN... THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF, OR THE DASHBOARD SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING IN A RAIN STORM OR AT NIGHT WHEN I CANNOT SEE, OR WORST, BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND TRAPPED BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THE PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE THAT DOESN'T WORK... OR THE WHEELS COMING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE IS DEFINITELY NEEDED!
