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. *TR

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. *TR

Official recalls
3Mar 19, 2010
THE BRAUN CORPORATION HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA ABOUT A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2008 GENERAL MOTORS MOBILITY CONVERSION, HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE LOW FLOOR MINIVANS. DURING CONVERSION, THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE TRAILING ARM MODIFICATION MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY WELDED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A SQUEAKING OR CLUNKING NOISE MAY DEVELOP. THE TRAILING ARM BUSHINGS MAY PREMATURELY WEAR AND THE TRAILING ARM MAY FRACTURE OR SEPARATE, ALLOWING THE REAR AXLE TO BECOME PARTIALLY SEPARATED FROM THE CHASSIS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND WILL HAVE A SUPPLY OF RETROFIT PARTS AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 4, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BRAUN AT 1-800-488-0359.
Jun 20, 2005
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, 'PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.' TO MEET THE STANDARD, THE VEHICLE MUST NOT MOVE FOR FIVE MINUTES WHEN STOPPED ON A STEEP HILL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL (N). SOME OF THESE VEHICLES FAILED THIS TEST.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS RELEASED, THE DRIVER MAY NOTICE UNINTENDED BRAKING WHEN ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, OR COASTING, AND A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR PARKING BRAKE LEVER SLIPPAGE AT EACH REAR BRAKE CALIPER AND REPLACE THE CALIPER IF LEVER SLIPPAGE IS IDENTIFIED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 14, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668, OR SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876.
Feb 18, 2005
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE OUTBOARD RELEASE HANDLE ON THE IMPACT-SIDE SECOND-ROW BUCKET SEAT MAY BE ACTUATED AND THE REAR LATCHES MAY UNLATCH EARLY IN A SIDE IMPACT CRASH. THIS WAS DISCOVERED IN A SIDE IMPACT TEST RUN BY GM, UNDER CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO NHTSA'S NEW CAR ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (NCAP) SIDE IMPACT TEST.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE REAR LATCHES OF THE SEAT RELEASE EARLY IN A SEVERE SIDE IMPACT, THE FRONT OUTBOARD LATCH MAY DISENGAGE AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT OF THE SEAT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE SEAT LATCH RELEASE HANDLE AND INSTALL A BLACK PLASTIC CAP OVER THE EXPOSED METAL STUD TO ELIMINATE THE SIDE IMPACT SAFETY CONCERN FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 5, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, AND PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
