ABS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER BRAKES WERE REPLACED BY CHEVROLET MECHANIC. TOOK BACK AND WAS TOLD NEEDED NEW FRONT WHEEL HUB. HUB WAS REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE, AND ABS LIGHT WAS RESET BY CHEVROLET CERTIFIED MECHANIC. ABS LIGHT CAME BACK ON BEFORE LEFT THE PARKING LOT, BUT MECHANIC SAID IT WAS OKAY AND HE WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. LEFT ON VACATION THE NEXT DAY. NEWLY REPLACED BRAKES MADE HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISES ALL THROUGHOUT TRIP. ALSO BEGAN GETTING INTERMITTENT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, AND "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" AND "SERVICE ABS SYSTEM" WARNINGS. CRAWLED UNDER VEHICLE AND FOUND WIRES TO THE NEW WHEEL HUB WERE BROKEN AT WHEEL HUB. WIRES WERE FOR THE WHEEL ROTATION SENSOR, AS IT WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. REPLACED WHEEL HUB AGAIN AT OUR EXPENSE, BECAUSE CHEVROLET CERTIFIED MECHANIC SAID FIRST HUB WASN'T INSTALLED IMPROPERLY, BUT ALSO SAID THE ONLY WAY THE WIRES COULD HAVE BECOME TORN WOULD BE IF IT HAD BEEN INSTALLED IMPROPERLY. ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WERE OUT FOR ABOUT ONE (1) WEEK. SECOND REPLACEMENT HUB AND WIRING ARE STILL INTACT, BUT STILL HAVE CONTINUOUS ABS LIGHT AND INTERMITTENT BRAKE LIGHT AS WELL AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED WARNINGS. DIFFERENT CHEVROLET CERTIFIED MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT ABS SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION, BUT BRAKES WILL STILL WORK AS IF NO ABS SYSTEM WERE ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CONTINUOUS ABS LIGHT ON A DIFFERENT CHEVROLET VEHICLE. IF CHEVY CAN'T MAKE THE ABS SYSTEM WORK AFTER THE BRAKES ARE WORKED ON, WHY CONTINUE WITH THE EXTRA EXPENSE OF PUTTING THEM ON? I NOW HAVE TWO(2) CHEVROLET ABS SYSTEMS THAT THEIR CERTIFIED MECHANICS SAY ARE IN TIP TOP CONDITION, ONLY PROBLEM IS NEITHER SYSTEM WORKS. ALSO, REGARDING THE 2005 UPLANDER, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT SHUT PROPERLY, RESULTING IN CONSTANT WARNING CHIMES EVERY TIME THE DOOR IS USED. AGAIN, CHEVY MECHANICS SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE DOOR OR THE SYSTEM. MAYBE CHEVY SHOULD GET OUT OF THE CAR BUSINESS! *TR

THE ABS LIGHT ON THE VEHICLE CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHT STARTED GOING ON AND OFF REGULARLY SO THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER SAID THE FRONT WHEEL HUB BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THESE WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB BEARINGS WERE REPLACED AT OUR OWN EXPENSE BUT THEN THE LIGHT STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME THEY SAID THE COMPUTER & WIRING SYSTEM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS HAD BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL BUT NOT ENOUGH CONSUMERS WERE AFFECTED TO GENERATE A RECALL SO WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OURSELVES AS WELL. THE DEALER HAS INSTRUCTED US THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE REPAIRS ARE MADE. *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.
