| 2005 | STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR | I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY UPLANDER. BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS LIKE TO REOPEN BY THEMSELVES. WE BOUGHT THE VAN USED IN FEBRUARY 2006. THE FIRST TIME IT STARTED HAPPENING WAS MARCH OF 2006. WE FINALLY TOOK THE VAN IN JUNE OF 2006 TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. WE HAD IT IN A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEY FINALLY TOLD US THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LATCH AND LOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT IN A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES AND STILL THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO SEE IF THE SEALS WERE GETTING IN THE WAY. AGAIN, NOTHING. GM THEN TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION. THAT DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. GM THEM TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOW WHAT? *TR |
| 2007 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | 2007 CHEVY UPLANDER I ATTEMPTED TO SEND THIS SAME MEMO TO GM VIA THERE WEBSITE BUT I'M NOT SURE IF IT WENT THROUGH OR NOT BECAUSE I WAS KICKED OUT. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH FALSE READINGS ON MY GAS GAUGE/FUEL RANGE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR (SINCE EARLY TO MID 2009) AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY CHANGED THE SENSOR TWICE NOW AND IT IS STILL GIVING FALSE READINGS. SAT.2/12/11, THE GAUGE WAS BETWEEN 1/4 TANK AND 1/8 TANK WHEN I LEFT MY HOUSE , AND THE RANGE STATED 120MILES. BEFORE I WENT 10MILES, THE RANGE FLUCTUATED DOWN TO 56 THEN WENT BACK UP TO 89 AND SHOWED FUEL RANGE LOW WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION @ 7900 N. SHADELAND AV. I STARTED BACK HOME AND IT SHOWED BETWEEN 90 AND 100MILES RANGE WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, AND THE GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING STILL BETWEEN 1/8 AND 1/4 TANK. WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE AGAIN AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF, THE FUEL GAUGE SAID I WAS EMPTY (LIGHT WAS ON) AND STATED LOW FUEL. SO I WENT AND GOT GAS. YESTERDAY, (LAST NIGHT), I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND IN A SERVICE STATION PARKING LOT, AND THE RANGE WENT FROM 118 UP TO 133 AND I HAD NOT MOVED. I'M CONTINUOUSLY BEING TOLD THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE AND AS I SAID EARLIER, THE SENSOR HAS BEEN CHANGED TWICE BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR OR DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD GIVE ACCURATE READINGS OR AT LEAST CLOSE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT IS NOT ONLY FRUSTRATING, BUT DANGEROUS AS WELL (BEING STRANDED AND OUT OF GAS) BECAUSE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN HAVE THIS VEHICLE MOST OF THE TIME. THIS IS GM PRODUCT AND THAT WAS THE REASON I WAS TRYING TO CONTACT THEM TO SEE IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS MISSING. IN THE MYCRSTATS.COM REPORT, SOMEONE HAS BEEN STRANDED BEFORE. *TR |
