NHTSA Complaint #10598804 — 2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER

THE SLIDING DOOR ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF VAN WOULD NOT CLOSE WITHOUT THE 'OPEN DOOR BELL' BEEPING CONSTANTLY (EVEN AFTER CLOSED). SOMETIMES AFTER RE-CLOSING, IT WOULD STOP BUT THIS EVENTUALLY BECAME A CONSTANT HAPPENING. WE LIVE IN PA. AND WERE IN FL. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED, SO WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. APPROX. A YEAR LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. AGAIN, AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR A NUMBER OF TIMES THE BEEPING WOULD SOMETIMES STOP, BUT WHEN WE NEEDED TO USE THE DOOR, IT WOULD REPEAT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE SECOND TIME TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. NOW, WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AGAIN AND THE BEEPING WILL NOT STOP! THIS IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR US TO HANDLE. WE ARE SENIORS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS KIND OF DEFECT. PLEASE HELP US! *TR
