TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET UPLANDER. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 60 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DUAL AUTOMATIC DOOR WAS FULLY AJAR. HER CHILD WAS SEATED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND SHE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. OFTENTIMES, THE PASSENGER SIDE DUAL AUTOMATIC DOOR WOULD NOT ENGAGE FULLY AND WOULD ALSO OPEN WHILE IN TRANSIT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND WAS SCHEDULED FOR A FOURTH REPAIR. THE DEALER ONCE STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE CAUSED BY A SMALL BAG IN THE VEHICLE THAT WAS ENGAGING THE SENSORS. THE BAG WAS REMOVED, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE DOORS BEGAN TO CLOSE ON THE CONTACT WHILE SHE WAS STILL IN THE DOORWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS, THE ROLLER, AND OTHER PARTS THAT PERTAINED TO THE DOOR; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES CONTINUED. AS OF MARCH 18, 2009, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED PROPERLY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 12,000.

THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS ON MY 2007 CHEVY UPLANDER DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. EVERYDAY THEY WILL CLOSE PARTIALLY OR EVEN FULLY THEN REOPEN. I EVEN HAD TO DRIVE HOME ONE DAY WITH A WIRE HANGING OUT AND THE WARNING SIGNAL BEEPING BECAUSE THE DOOR DID NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. THEY MAKE AN AWFUL NOISE WHILE CLOSING. THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 2-3 TIMES ALREADY AND PLAN ON TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP AGAIN FOR REPAIRS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE DOORS THOUGH. THIS POSES A SAFETY RISK TO MY CHILDREN AS THE DOORS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING. *TR

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE CORRECTLY AND IT OPEN WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING. THE DOOR WOULD CLOSE THEN REOPEN AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED IN ORDER FOR THE DOOR TO LACK CLOSED. THE REPAIR THAT WAS DONE WAS TO REPLACED THE CENTER HINGE ROLLER SUPPORT AND ADJUSTED CABLES. THEN A MONTH LATER THE CABLE JAMMED UP IN THE MOTOR AND HAD TO BE CUT TO GET THE DOOR TO CLOSE. THE REPAIR THAT WAS DONE WAS TO REPLACE THE CABLE AND MOTOR FOR THE SLIDING DOOR. THE NEXT PROBLEM IS THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL OPEN AND CLOSE FULLY BUT WHEN IT CLOSES THE MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN AND THE REAR OF THE DOOR POPS OPEN SLIGHTLY. REPAIR IS PENDING. *TR
