PURCHASED A 2006 CHEVROLET UPLANDER LT IN AUGUST 2006. CURRENTLY HAVE 45,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED, WE HAVE HAD TWO RECURRING PROBLEMS. 1)INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS "FLICKER" AT NIGHT TO THE DEGREE THAT IT IS A DRIVING DISTRACTION AND APPEAR TO REPRESENT THE DRIVER FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS. THIS WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, AND ONLY ONCE UNDER WARRANTY WAS A PART REPLACED WHICH DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. NOW DEALER CONTINUES TO STATE THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. 2)AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT OPEN OR STAY CLOSED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THEY ALSO WILL NO LONGER CLOSE COMPLETELY. WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT IS APPARENT THAT THEY NO LONGER KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS TRYING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEIR LAST RESOLUTION WAS TO TURN OFF THE AUTOMATIC DOOR FEATURE. THE PROBLEMS ARE IDENTICAL ON BOTH DOORS. SEVERAL TIMES WE HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM HOME AND DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE AND WE COULD NOT MANUALLY CLOSE THEM. WE ASKED DEALER TO CONTACT GM FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY ADVISED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY UPLANDER, ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC DOORS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY WOULD "DO ALL THEY COULD" BY CLEANING THE TRACK AND LUBRICATING - THEN CLEANING THE SENSORS. THIS WAS ALWAYS A TEMPORARY FIX. THE DOORS WOULD CLOSE THE MAJORITY OF THE WAY THEN OPEN BACK AND BEGIN BEEPING. I TRIED TURNING THE AUTOMATIC DOORS OFF - STILL HAPPENED. THEN I STARTED NOTICING ON MY PASSENGER SIDE THAT WHEN THE DOOR CLOSED THE MOTOR WOULD RUN AND YOU COULD HEAR THE CABLE GRINDING. AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, DON'T KNOW IT THE CABLE GOT OFF TRACK, BUT WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR IT WOULD OPEN ALL THE WAY AND THE CABLE WOULD JUST HANG OUT. WELL, TODAY MY 2006 UPLANDER CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE I WAS AT MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION LED TO BELIEVE THE FIRE STARTED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE AREA WHERE THE MOTOR TO MY DOOR WAS. ACTUALLY IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT IS WHERE IT HAPPENED, THAT WAS THE AREA OF THE CAR MOST DAMAGED. *TR
