I bought my Uplander at dealership milage was at 24,000. The door would open and not close we finally got this fixed I hope. Just yesterday at milage 45,000 we had to replace tie rod on passenger side. Found out that it did not have grease pin on it called manufactor and they say someone had to have replaced it. I do not believe it had ever been replaced and this is what is causing tire wear and vibrations in the Uplanders which also could cause accidents even deaths. Also when driving all lights will go off until you hit brakes I have had diagnotics checked to see if anything would show up. Nothing does. So this is a major concern also . There seems to be the same problems listed from almost everyone and some of these things could cost consumers their life or their families. While I like the Uplander I am concerned that the safety issues are not being handled by manufactor and no one seems to care. What will it take to make this vehicle safe.

I bought my 2006 Uplander used. A week or two after buying it, the passenger back sliding door began giving me problems. It will seem to be closing all the way and then pop back open. I have never taken off when this happens, but I am very observant about it and with a small child I refuse to endanger him in any way. I thought that maybe this was just a fluke and didn't take it to be seen about. I still have not, because my warranty is out and I don't have the money to pay for an expensive fix. I was researching new vehicles, when I started thinking about not just the one or two times, but the 10's and possible 100's of times this has happened and wonder, "will I be stuck with a vehicle that could jeopardize my child, husband's and my safety. " I think that it is not a good testament to safety when there are so many people with this problem and nothing has been done to recall and fix it. I beg of you. Please get these vehicles fixed or take them off the road.

We purchased a 2006 chevy Uplander about 3 months ago. My husband works third shift and as he was leaving work he noticed the door was wide open. He shut it thinking he must have forgotten to do so before and proceeded to drive home. On his way home at about 45 mph the door flies open. Since he has gotten home the door is repeatedly opening and closing itself even if it is locked.

I have had an ongoing problem with my van sliding doors not opening, opening when you don't want them to (driving, parked). It has become more common and I was driving up a steep incline and the door went flying open. Most of the time the doors open when I am driving uphill.

: the contact stated that the driver's side sliding door slid shut as the contact's child entered the vehicle. The contact was walking around to the other side of the vehicle, when the sliding door slid shut pinning the child to the door causing injury to the chest wall, face, scalp, and spine. There were no problems prior to the incident. The dealership determined that the sliding door catches were worn down after one year and new door catches were replaced.

The van is equipped with dual power sliding doors. I have had multiple repairs completed and they still do not function properly. On two occasions, they shut on one of my children, once causing a 5" x 2" bruise on my 8 year old and once causing my 5 year old to limp on a sore ankle for 2 days. Additionally, every time I hit a bump, it disconnects from the sensors and sets off an alarm. My primary concern, however, was when I was driving 50 mph and the rear passenger door opened by itself. No one was injured, but it was very frightening. This is not a safe vehicle.
