NHTSA Complaint #10462181 — 2006 CHEVROLET UPLANDER

I BOUGHT MY UPLANDER AT DEALERSHIP MILAGE WAS AT 24,000. THE DOOR WOULD OPEN AND NOT CLOSE WE FINALLY GOT THIS FIXED I HOPE. JUST YESTERDAY AT MILAGE 45,000 WE HAD TO REPLACE TIE ROD ON PASSENGER SIDE. FOUND OUT THAT IT DID NOT HAVE GREASE PIN ON IT CALLED MANUFACTOR AND THEY SAY SOMEONE HAD TO HAVE REPLACED IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT HAD EVER BEEN REPLACED AND THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING TIRE WEAR AND VIBRATIONS IN THE UPLANDERS WHICH ALSO COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS EVEN DEATHS. ALSO WHEN DRIVING ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OFF UNTIL YOU HIT BRAKES I HAVE HAD DIAGNOTICS CHECKED TO SEE IF ANYTHING WOULD SHOW UP. NOTHING DOES. SO THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN ALSO . THERE SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEMS LISTED FROM ALMOST EVERYONE AND SOME OF THESE THINGS COULD COST CONSUMERS THEIR LIFE OR THEIR FAMILIES. WHILE I LIKE THE UPLANDER I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SAFETY ISSUES ARE NOT BEING HANDLED BY MANUFACTOR AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE. *TR
