EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS AS WELL AS THE BLOWER FAN LOSE POWER WHICH MAKES THE LIGHTS DIM AND THE BLOWER SLOW DOWN. DEALER INSTALLED A CAPACITOR AND POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE SHIELDING AS PER THEIR BULLETIN, BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY IT WILL TOTALLY LOSE POWER. *TR

THE DAY WE PURCHASES OUR CHEVY UPLANDER THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE O RING ON THE COMPRESSOR AND RECHARGED THE FREON. AFTER 2 AND A HALF WEEKS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE AND 750 MILES ON THE VEHICLE I WENT ON A TRIP TO HOUSTON, TX WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD. THE AIR BEGAN TO BLOW STEAM AND STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME TO CALL ON STAR. THEY ADVISED ME WHERE THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP WAS I STOPPED THERE AND THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE ACTUATOR AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE AIR WAS WORKING AGAIN. TWO MORE TIMES THE AIR STOP WORKING ON MY TRIP. I STOPPED THE CAR AT MY GRANDFATHER'S HOUSE AND A GAS STATION AND IT RESET IT'S SELF AND THE AIR BEGAN TO WORK. I BROUGHT IT TO TOMBALL PARKWAY CHEVY. AND AFTER 2 DAYS OF DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID THEY WERE AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY HAVE RECEIVED OTHER COMPLAINTS AROUND THE US BUT WERE NOT SURE HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM YET. I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY WITH MY CHILD I CAN NOT RIDE IN 105 DEGREE HEAT WITH HER. HOW DO I SOLVE THE PROBLEM WHEN I AM NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING ONLY HAD THE CAR 3 WEEKS NOW? *JB

THE CHECKED THE VEHICLE'S CHARGING SYSTEM AND EXPLAINED THAT THE VOLTAGE WAS SUPPOSED TO CHANGE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE NEWER ADVANCED VARIABLE CHARGE VOLTAGE REGULATOR.

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.
CERTAIN CARGO VANS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS" AND NO. 120. "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THESE CARGO VANS WERE SHIPPED WITHOUT A TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABELS BECAUSE THEY WERE INCORRECTLY DESIGNATED AS INCOMPLETE VEHICLES.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WITHOUT THE PROPER LABELS, OWNERS MAY BE UNAWARE OF THE CORRECT TIRE SIZE AND MAY OVERLOAD THESE VEHICLES.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH NEW TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABELS AND CERTIFICATION LABELS. AT THE CUSTOMER'S OPTION, A DEALER CAN PERFORM THE INSTALLATION FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 15, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438.
CERTAIN TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES WERE SHIPPED WITH TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABELS LISTING AN INACCCURATE VEHICLE CAPACITY WEIGHT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A MISPRINTED LABEL COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER VEHICLE LOADING SPECIFICATIONS OR TIRE INFLATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE FAILURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH CORRECTED LABELS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. AT THE CUSTOMER'S OPTION, A DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 31, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493, PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668, SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, OR ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727.
