NHTSA Complaint #10567100 — 2008 CHEVROLET UPLANDER

WHILE DRIVING SLIDING SIDE DOORS WOULD OPEN ON THEIR OWN. THE DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX IT BUT COULD NOT EVER GET THEM TO QUIT. I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THAT OWN A CHEVY UPLANDER VAN SAME YEAR AND DIFFERENT YEARS THEY HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE 2 HANDICAPPED GRAND CHILDREN, PLUS 2 DOGS, HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AFRAID ONE OF THEM WOULD FALL OUT. WAS SITTING STILL ONE DAY AND THE DOORS OPENED, ONE OF MY DOGS RAN OUT IN THE STREET UNDER A MOVING VEHICLE, HE WAS KNOCKED DOWN BUT WAS NOT INJURED. THERE HAS BEEN MANY DIFFERENT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VAN, BUT NUN LIFE THREATENING AS THE DOORS COMING OPEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I MENTIONED TO DEALER THAT CHEVY SHOULD FIND A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE DOORS, SO FAR NEVER SEEN RECALL ON A CHEVY UPLANDER FOR THIS PROBLEM, THE OTHER PEOPLE I TALKED TO SAID THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD THAT THEIR IS A PERMANENT FIX FOR THEIR DOORS COMING OPEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AN 71 YEARS OF AGE AND HAVE NEVER BOUGHT A FOREIGN VEHICLE ALWAYS MADE IN THE USA. I HAVE OWNED CHEVY, BUICK, PONTIAC, DODGE, & FORD, WE HAD CONSIDERED BUYING A CHEVY AGAIN BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE HAD TO PUT UP WITH THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THIS CHEVY WE WILL BUY A DODGE OR FORD PRODUCT. I AM GLAD WE BAILED THEM OUT AND THEY ARE MAKING MONEY NOW, AND WOULD HAVE LIKED TO BOUGHT ANOTHER CHEVY, BUT THEY HAVEN'T DONE THE SAME FOR US! I HOPE NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED OR INJURED WITH THEIR DOORS COMING OPEN, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T COMPLAIN THEY JUST EXCEPT IT AND MOVE ON. ENOUGH SAID HOPE THEY FIND A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM ONE DAY BEFORE SOMEBODY DOES GET KILLED OR INJURED FOR LIFE, LIKE WHAT HAPPEN WITH THE FUEL TANKS ON THE CHEVY TRUCKS. *TR
