NHTSA Complaint #10577608 — 2007 CHEVROLET UPLANDER

WE PURCHASED THE 2007 CHEVY UPLANDER BEFORE DOING ANY RESEARCH....HAD WE KNOWN WHAT WE KNOW NOW, WE WOULD HAVE NOT PURCHASED IT. SHORTLY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE REAR SLIDING DOORS BEGAN ACTING UP. SOMETIMES THEY WON'T OPEN AND OTHER TIMES THEY RANDOMLY OPEN ON THEIR OWN. WHEN YOU CLOSE THE DOOR, IT WILL STOP MID-CLOSE, REOPEN THEN START CLOSING AGAIN. WHEN YOU THINK IT IS CLOSED, IT WILL JUST KEEP GRINDING AND THEN POP BACK OPEN. WE WERE IN NC ON VACATION WHEN THE DOOR ALARM WOULDN'T STOP 'DINGING' BECAUSE THE DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY. ONCE WE FINALLY GOT THE DOOR TO CLOSE, THE KIDS WOULD HAVE TO CRAWL THROUGH THE REAR HATCH FOR FEAR THAT THE DOORS WOULDN'T CLOSE AGAIN SINCE WE WERE SO FAR FROM HOME. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM...THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT! I EVEN DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN MINUTES OF THIS HAPPENING...BUT WHEN I GOT THERE IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. ANOTHER ISSUE WE HAD WAS WITH THE WIRING HARNESS FAILING AT 35,000 MILES. LUCKILY THAT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
