general problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Uplander

My van hesitates between 2 and 3 rpm's. Especially going up a hill, the engine light will blink for a few seconds. Then engine light continues to stay on. . The drivers side door is malfunctioning. . Wheel bearing in the rear need replacement. . And there does appear to be an electrical issue. . Radio skips, interior lights don't work at all. . The drivers side seat doesn't heat. Theres barely any heat even when gauge reads the engine is normally warm. .

Right rear lights (indicator, brake ) failed. Tried to remove the bolts as per the vehicle instruction manual but they would only spin. Took the vehicle to the dealership they could not remove the right or the left lights. Dealership removed the panel and drilled out the side to replace the cage nut with inserts. Dealership stated that the bolts inside had rusted and that I had to remove the bolts from time to time to prevent it from seizing up. Spoke with gm customer service citing the fact that design of the system was faulty and asked them to reimburse the charges. Gm declined to cover the charges and when I stated that it was a faulty design and that I would take it to NHTSA, they advised me to bring the vehicle for repair when there is a recall.

While driving the exterior and interior lights will dim and/or flicker. Voltage does not stay consistent. When stopping the radio will blink off, and the cd changer will make ejecting noises like a tape player. If any accessories "are" actually plugged in you will get static and electrical whining from the speakers. Vehicle will give hard start issues after experiencing the light dim and flicker issue. I have already had all the plugs and wires replaced at the dealership for these issues.

All the lights in the vehicle flicker while the engine is running, it is so bad that other vehicles will flash their lights at me.

2005 Chevrolet Uplander. While driving vehicle stalled on the highway with children inside. There was a fuel line problem. This occurred more than once. Had to roll vehicle to neutral so the vehicle will start. The vehicle showed no gas if it was b not level parked. The interior and exterior lighting flickered more than on one occasion. People thought the consumer was flashing lights at them. The vehicle was manufactured for a handicap person. The consumer contacted the dealership , and they were able to duplicate the problem. The consumer was working with manufacturer to not have this vehicle any more due to all the problems. Had problems since February 2005. The vehicle was not safe to drive. Would not recommend anyone to buy this vehicle.
