2007 Chevrolet Uplander

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET UPLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A CLUNKING SOUND AND THE VEHICLE REAR WOULD SWAY BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL SHOP, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM WAS DEFECTIVE AND AFFECTED THE FRAME. AS A RESULT, IT NEEDED TO BE WELDED BACK ON. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

PASSENGER SLIDING DOORS OPENING WHILE GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH ALSO A BING SOUND GOING OFF THE WHOLE TIME ON OUR WAY TO THE SHOP TO GET MY DOORS LOOKED AT. MY 3 YR.OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, IF HE DID NOT HAVE SEAT BELT ON. THANK GOD THERE WAS NOT A DEATH THAT DAY, DO TO THE DOORS. I WANT MY MONEY BACK TO BUY A SAFER CAR FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THIS CAR IS GOING TO KILL PPL. THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS CAR I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR.IT IS ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD. ALREADY 450 OUT MY POCKET TO FIX THIS. I WORK PART TIME THREE DAYS A WEEK. I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN I CANT BE PAYING FOR THIS VAN WAS NOT MADE WITH SAFETY IN MIND I THINK CHEVY WAS JUST TURNING TO MAKE A VAN TO SELL WITH OUT THE PEOPLE IN MIND LIKE MY SELF. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED 10,000 A WHOLE YROF WHAT I MAKE TO BUY THIS DEATH TRAP. ITS NOT FAIR THAT'S THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED SOME ONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING. THE PUBLIC SHOULD NOT BE THE ONE TO HAVE TO BE TESTED. ALL CARS AND VANS ALIKE SHOULD BE MADE TO BE SAFE FOR THE PPL THAT BUY THEM. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING AND WITH NO WARNING THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND IT MAKES A NOISE LIKE THE TRACTION CONTROL DOES WHEN IT COMES ON AND ITS LIKE I AM SLAMMING ON THE BREAKS BUT I AM NOT. I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED CHEVY TECHNICIAN THREE TIMES NOW AND I AM TAKING IT BACK TOMORROW FOR A FOURTH TIME. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS I FEEL IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT OR WORSE DIES. I ALSO REPLACED THE SENSOR. THAT DID NOT DO A THING OTHER THAN COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.

I HAVE BEEN STRANDED OR HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS 6 DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY UPLANDER. ONE TIME, DUE TO TERRAIN, I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER RUN OUT OF GAS IN MY LIFE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO STEERING. I SEE MANY HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SITUATION, YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. *TR

2007 CHEVY UPLANDER WITH 29,055 MILES WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER FOR A "GROWLING " NOISE COMING FROM REAR OF CAR. INSPECTION SHOWED NO FAILURES BUT REAR TIRES WERE "CHOPPED"..THE AGENCY REPLACED BOTH REAR TIRES AND PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. THE NOISE RECURRED AT 42,523 MILES (13,468 MILES). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LARGE TIRE DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT THE TIRES WERE AGAIN UNEVENLY WORN.. TWO NEW TIRES WERE PURCHASED AND A (4)WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE. NO DAMAGED PARTS WERE REPORTED. *TR

I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY 2007 CHEVY UPLANDER WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, SO I DIDN'T KNOW THE TANK CAPACITY OR THE MILEAGE RANGE FOR A FULL TANK IN THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING ON I-75 SOUTHBOUND NEAR CINCINNATI, OHIO. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE GOING 65 MPH WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHEN MY ENGINE JUST SIMPLY CUT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE GAS GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS STILL OVER A QUARTER TANK AND THE COMPUTER READ OUT SAID, FUEL RANGE 120 MILES. IN ORDER TO SAFELY GET MY VAN OFF THE HIGHWAY I HAD TO CROSS OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND PULL OFF. I WAS POSITIVE I WAS GOING TO BE HIT FROM BEHIND AS I TRIED TO MAKE IT TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND HAD TO WALK TO THE NEXT EXIT AND BUY A CAN AND GAS. THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS OVER 300 MILES FROM HOME AND ALL ALONE.
