AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NESMITH CHEVROLET - HINESVILLE), THE FIRST TIME DRIVING IT AT NIGHT I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLUCTUATED WHEN PRESSURE WAS PLACED ON THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT BECAUSE SOME OTHER DRIVERS BELIEVE I AM FLASHING AT THEM, AND IN TURN FLASH THEIR HIGH BEAMS AT ME, BY THIS TIME CLOSE TO ME CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD. OTHER TIMES GIVING LARGE TRUCKS THE IDEA THAT I AM GIVING THEM THE OK TO GET BACK OVER IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN IN FACT IT ISN'T. NONE THE LESS, IT IS VERY ANNOYING TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLUCTUATING WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE ENGINE. STILL TO THIS DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR

CHEVY UPLANDER BROKE DOWN IN DRIVEWAY. DEALER TOWED SAID IT STARTED FINE FOR THEM BUT THAT THE BATTERY CELLS WERE LOW SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. THEY SAID IT WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. ON MY WAY HOME FROM DEALERSHIP THE VAN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO TURN SLIGHTLY BUT WAS STUCK IN THE ROAD FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES BEFORE POLICE ARRIVED. DEALER NOW THINKS IT IS FUEL PUMP HOWEVER SOMETHING IS STILL DRAINING BATTERY. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I GOT IT BRAND NEW AND ALREADY REPLACED STEERING ROD FIRST 14,000 MILES. THE VAN CURRENTLY HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT NOW. SINCE I GOT IT I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING ON LONG TRIPS. INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD ALSO FLICKERS. ALSO ONCE WHEN I TURNED ON TO HIGHWAY VEHICLE REVVED UP AND WAS HARD TO CONTROL. *TR

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
