The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Uplander. The vehicle did not always start on the first or second attempt and the transmission slipped and jerked while the contact was driving. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the transmission was flushed and the fuel pump was changed; however, the problem continued. The dealer could not explain the cause of the failure. The VIN was unavailable at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000. The current mileage was approximately 64,000. Updated 11/03/10.
Purchased 06 chevy Uplander with 21 miles on it. On drive home multiple electrical problems occurred eventually resulting in loss of all dash board components, radio, power sliding door and service engine light occasionally energizing. Car would not start again once at home until hours later. Took in to dealer and they have reported faulty body control module and will replace tomorrow. Am unsure if I should keep this vehicle based on multiple electrical complaints.
