CHEVROLET UPLANDER DEFECT OR LEMON
Chevrolet Uplander owners have complained of engine and electrical problems. Owners may be entitled to compensation for repair costs, rental vehicles, or loss of use.
The Consumer Auto Guide lists certain problems
"Check-engine light: The check engine light may come on due to failure of the EGR valve. The Delphi valve is to be replaced with a Seimens valve kit and have
the PCM flashed. (2005-06)
Electrical problem: If the OnStar system quits or won't come on (no power), but
comes back to life if the fuse is removed for five minutes, the vehicle
communications interface module must be replaced or else the problem will recur.
(2005-06).
Electrical problem: The PCM was being replaced for a defective chip under a
voluntary emissions recall because it affected the fuel pump and EGR system.
(2005)
Engine misfire: The engine may not start, may start then quit, and/or assorted
warning lights may glow because the wiring connector under the driver seat may
get wet and the contacts corrode. (2005-06).
Engine noise: A whistling noise from the 3.5L engine during acceleration is
corrected by replacing the PCV tube. (2005)
Fuel gauge: The engine may not start or may stall because the tank is empty yet
the gauge shows fuel remaining, or the fuel gauge will not show full after
refilling due to sulfur corrosion of the fuel level sender and if after treating
with Fuel System.
Sliding door Finally, there is an electrical sliding door problem.

Summary:
WE WERE TAKING VACATION LAST DECEMBER GOING THRU THE MOUNTAINS AND IT WAS VERY
FOGGY. YOU COULD BARELY SEE THE ROAD AND WE NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR
LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO LET
THEM FIX THE PROBLEM THEY DID LET ME KNOW THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF A PROBLEM.
THEY SHOWED ME A PAPER STATING THAT GMAC WAS TRYING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS
WAS LAST DECEMBER AND IT IS NOW JUNE AND STILL NO SOLUTION. THIS COULD CAUSE A
ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IN FOGGY WEATHER. I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE
CAN FIND A THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OR I MIGHT JUST TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE
DEALER PARKING LOT AND PARK IT UNTIL THE SOLUTION IS FIXED.

MY WIFE HAD DRIVEN FROM OUR HOME 7 MILES AWAY TO THE MAGGIE MOO'S ICE CREAM

MOM WHO STAYED IN THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS LEFT RUNNING BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. WHEN
SHE RETURNED SHE BACKED THE VEHICLE UP WITH NO PROBLEM BUT WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO
PULL FORWARD SHE HEARD THE WRONGEST NOISE EMANATE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE
SHE HAS EVER HEARD AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED AND BUMPED AND CAME TO A GRINDING
HALT. I DID NOT THINK IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO BAD AS SHE EXPLAINED TO ME WHEN I
ARRIVED. SO I BACKED THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE THAT SHE MANAGED TO
GET TO AND PULLED FORWARD. OH MY GOD! WHAT SHE HAD EXPLAINED TO ME WASN'T EVEN
AS BAD AS I EXPERIENCED. THE STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVATION MESSAGE APPEARED IN
THE DASH DISPLAY AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL BEGAN TO
GROWL THEN SCREECHED THE VEHICLE TO A GRINDING HALT. I WAS SCARED. MY KIDS WERE
THROWN AROUND IN THE CAR SINCE THEY HAD UNBUCKLED THEIR SEAT BELTS WHILE EATING
THEIR ICE CREAM. I MADE THEM BUCKLE UP AND I TRIED IT AGAIN. THE SAME RESULT
OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL I FINALLY GOT TO A PARKING SPACE. I CALLED CHEVROLET
TO COME TOW THE VEHICLE IN TO REPAIR MY 2005 UPLANDER. THEY CALLED ME THE NEXT
DAY AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM AND THAT THE ERROR CODES PULLED
FROM THE COMPUTER SHOWED NOT ERROR EVER HAPPENED. THIS SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME
AND MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. OUR FEAR OF THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRING
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. I AM IN CONTACT WITH GM
BUT THEY ARE SO FAR UNWILLING TO ADMIT OR TAKE ANY ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY
ISSUE. I NEED HELP!!! WE ALL NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE
STABILITRAK SYSTEM BEING DEPLOYED ON THESE NEW VEHICLES. PLEASE TAKE THIS UP AND
OPEN AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION. I AM DOCUMENTING THIS MALFUNCTION EVERYWHERE I
CAN THINK TO BECAUSE NO ONE NEEDS TO DIE BECAUSE OF A DEFECT. *NM

Summary:
I BOUGHT A 2005 CHEVY UPLANDER, ALREADY WENT THROUGH THE BBB AUTO LINE REGARDING
THE UNACCEPTABLE TEMPERATURES IN THE CAR (EVEN AFTER RUNNING AC ON MAXIMUM FOR
30 MIN PLUS) OF 85 DEGREES TO 95 DEGREES. WHICH ARE UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND I
HAVE HAD A VERY CLOSE CALL WITH MY DOGS, THAT TRAVEL IN CRATES IN THE BACK
SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE HEAT IN THE CAR. DURING THE ARBITRATION HEARING
CHEVROLET (MR. NADER, RICHMOND KY) DID NOT DISPUTE THE HOT TEMPERATURES IN THE
CAR, THE AC IS DESIGNED TO NEVER BLOW OUT COLDER AIR THAN 43 - 48 DEGREES AFTER
RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MIN AND STANDING STILL 50+ DEGREES TEMPERATURE, YES, THE
BACK IS HOTTER, AS THE PIPES FOR THE REAR AC GO THROUGH THE ROOF AND THE ROOF IN
THE SUMMER WILL GET 110 TO 130 DEGREES EASILY. BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. MY
QUESTION IS, KY IS NOT ONE OF THE HOTTEST STATES, HOWEVER, WE HAD A HOT SUMMER
AND STILL DO HAVE 90 DEGREES DAYS NOT, WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE TRAVELING FOR SEVERAL
HOURS, SOMEONE COULD DIE IN THE BACK, AS THE FRONT DOES NOT REALIZE THAT THE
BACK IS NOT WORKING SUFFICIENTLY. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS
HURT BY THIS THROUGH THE NEGLIGENCE OF CHEVROLET. YOUR HELP WOULD BE SO MUCH
APPRECIATED. *NM

THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM;
THEREFORE NO ADDITIONAL REPAIRS WERE MADE.

Summary:
AFTER ONLY 6,500 MILES ALL HIGHWAY MILES (NO CITY DRIVING) THE BRAKES WERE
GRABBING. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECKED OUT AND THE DEALER
TURNED DOWN ALL 4 ROTORS . I WAS MAD, THE SERVICE WRITER HAD THE NERVE TO TELL
ME THAT THE REASON THE DISKS WERE WARPED WAS "WHILE YOU WERE ON THE HIGHWAY YOUR
BRAKES GOT SO HOT THAT WHEN YOU PULLED OFF ON A RAMP YOU HIT THE BRAKES AND
THAT'S WHAT WARPED YOUR DISKS" I CALLED GM AN REGISTERED MY COMPLAINT. ALSO WHEN
I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE A LOT OF WARPED BAKES
ON UPLANDERS, IF THE UPLAND JUST SITS FOR A MONTH ON THE LOT THE BRAKES WARP.
NOW I HAVE 17,700 MILES ON MY VAN AND THE BRAKES ARE WARPED AGAIN, BUT NOW THEY
HAVE TO CHANGE THE ROTORS AND WANT ME TO PAY FOR THEM. LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE
PAYING FOR ROTORS AND TURNING THEM DOWN AT 6 TO 7000 MILES AND REPLACING THEM
EVERY 10,000 MILES. *JB

Summary:
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2005 AND IN THE FIRST 2 MONTHS HAD
WINDSHIELD CHIPS FROM NORMAL DRIVING. I HAVE OWNED MANY CHEVROLETS OVER THE
YEARS AND NOT ONE CHIP. NOW I HAVE ANOTHER ONE WHICH MAKES THREE IN 15 MONTHS.
THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAD THE FIRST TWO TREATED INDEPENDENTLY
BECAUSE OF LACK OF ACTION. MY HUSBAND AND I THINK THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT
OF CHIPS FOR A FRONT WINDSHIELD. I WITNESSED THE FIRST AND LAST WITH THE SIZE OF
THE PEBBLE MAYBE BEING A QUARTER CENTIMETER. MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR A GLASS
MANUFACTURER AND HIS SUPERIORS TELL HIM THAT THIS IS UNREASONABLE AS WELL AND
SUGGEST WE CONTACT AN ATTORNEY IF THERE IS NO ACTION TAKEN. WE HAVE ALWAYS
BOUGHT FROM THE SAME DEALER AND ALWAYS CHEVROLET. IN FACT WE BOUGHT A 2005
COLORADO THE WEEK BEFORE WE PURCHASE THIS UPLANDER, SO LOYALTY WILL BE AN ISSUE
IF THIS IS NOT HANDLED. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. *NM

TO CLOSE, THEN GIVE A WARNING BELL & RE-OPEN. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I
HAVE A 24 YR. OLD SON WITH CEREBRAL PALSY. I CANNOT, IN GOOD CONCIENCE, PUT HIM
IN THIS VEHICLE..DUE TO THE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. WOULD YOU PUT YOUR CHILD IN
THIS VEHICLE & WONDER WHETHER THE DOORS WOULD DECIDE TO COME OPEN WHILE GOING 75

Component: OTHER
Summary:
THE DOORS BOTH VOLUNTARILY & INVOLUNTARILY OPEN/CLOSE. THEY MAY OPEN WHILE GOING
DOWN THE ROAD. THEY WILL ALSO OPEN WHEN NOT PROMPTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
WHEN EVERYONE IS ASLEEP. THEY ALSO WILL NOT CLOSE ON SOME OCCASIONS. THEY START
TO CLOSE, THEN GIVE A WARNING BELL & RE-OPEN. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I
HAVE A 24 YR. OLD SON WITH CEREBRAL PALSY. I CANNOT, IN GOOD CONCIENCE, PUT HIM
IN THIS VEHICLE..DUE TO THE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. WOULD YOU PUT YOUR CHILD IN
THIS VEHICLE & WONDER WHETHER THE DOORS WOULD DECIDE TO COME OPEN WHILE GOING 75
DOWN THE INTERSTATE?

Summary:
I HAVE A 2005 UPLANDER THAT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES NOW FOR AN
ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THEY TELL ME NOW THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE. THE BLOWER FAN
MOTOR SLOWS DOWN WHEN I AM STOPPING AND THE HEAD LIGHTS DIM. THE NEWEST PROBLEM
IS THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AUTO SLIDING DOOR OPEN ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED
ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. *JB

Summary:
I OWN A 2005 CHEVY UPLANDER MINIVAN AND EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THE
OUTSIDE REAR DOOR LATCH PINCHING THE INSIDE OF YOUR FINGER WHEN YOU SQUEEZE THE
LATCH TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH. SO FAR IT HAPPENED TO MYSELF, MY SON, MY NEIGHBOR,
AND MY GRANDSON. IT HAS CAUSED ANYWHERE FROM SMALL SKIN LACERATIONS TO BLOOD
BLISTERS. ONCE YOU ENGAGE THE LATCH TO OPEN THE HATCH AND START TO SQUEEZE IT
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CYCLE THE LATCH AS IT PINCHES YOUR FINGER SKIN UNTIL
THE LATCH OPENS AND SETS YOU FREE. *NM
