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. .
The chassis has a serious rust issue as I've never seen before. The rust issue is one that you would not even see on a 60 year old car. It caused the rear wheel and all of its components to break free. I do have pictures (it's dark out right at the moment but I can by morning) I have been trying to find a solution for this for quiet a while now.
There are 4 recalls listed on this site for my vehicle. I am currently having these listed problems with my vehicle. I called gm and they refuse to pay for these repairs due to "my vehicle is out of warranty". I told them that a warranty has nothing to do with a recall and they agreed! however, gm will not cover these repairs! I called the phone number given on this site and was told there are no recalls. . . . . . . . I will never purchase a gm vehicle and I will expose them every way possible. This is completely unacceptable!.
Rear axel broke while making a right turn causing the rear wheel to become detached. There is a recall for this same problem for 2005 chevy Uplanders however when called, was told that the recall only affected vehicles that were remodeled into handicapped accessible vans.
