Door problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Uplander

I purchased the vechile in 2010. I didn't have any problems with the doors at this time. About 6 months later they would open by themselves when in park. Or they would not close a dinging noise would sound and the door would open back up when tring to close it. I didn't think much about it at this time because it only did this when in park and after playing with it for a while we could eventually get them to stay closed. Well, a couple of days ago and again today, the door opened while I was driving 65 miles per hour going down the interstate with my 2 kids in the back seat. My daughter who is 6 screamed bloody murder as I panically hit the brakes and telling my other daughter who is 8 to grab her arm, hold tight and do not let go. I got off and pulled to the side of the interstate break down lane. Took a couple of minutes to gather my self and calm my children. I put the kids in the very back and buckled them in. My main concern is my children's safety. I bought this van for the family and it has now turned into a horrible nightmare. I am now putting the kids in the very back, which thank goddness because this happened again today. I am still making payments on the van and cannot afford to get another car. We now have another baby on the way and I am not quite sure what we are to do because this will put one of the kids having to sit in the path of danger when the baby is born. I have paperwork in the van from where the previous owner of the van has already replaced the doors because of them opening when she was driving. The fix must have not solved the problem because now here my family sits with the same concern on the same doors. This is a real concern and if something isn't done about it a child's life may be lost. Van owners purchase vans for the room of their growing family and should feel that there kids are safe when in it.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander. The contact stated that the rear driver and passenger side sliding doors would open independently. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while driving at approximately 65 mph as the rear driver side sliding door suddenly opened. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The contact stated that both sliding doors were replaced by the previous owner for the same failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.

While dropping my kids off at school on January 26, 2010, my daughter closed our driver side rear sliding door of our 2007 chevy Uplander. The whole door fell off in her hands. We took it to carmax where we bought it, along with their extended warranty, and were told that it would not be covered under the warranty. We would have to take it to a body shop to have it fixed because they could not repair it there. They charged us $87. 00 to tell us this. We were also told that the only time they have seen this happen before was due to a faulty part or when the vehicle was in an accident. When we bought it in may of 2008 we were guaranteed by carmax that it was inspected for defects as well as never being in an accident. At our first oil change it was discovered to have two leaks, one in the oil reserve and one in the air conditioner unit which were covered by the original warranty of chevy. I have been in contact with the chevy corporate offices but they want me to take it to a chevy dealer to have it looked at (again at our cost) and then they will fix it and help us get financing to pay for it. Why do we have to pay for it when we are not at fault and it could have done damage to my children or other cars around it.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander. The rear automatic/manual passenger sliding door failed to remain secure when in a closed position. The sliding door intermittently continued to open without assistance. The technician repaired the power door motor assembly. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on 8 to 10 occasions for the identical failure and the repair was made four times. The vehicle identification number was unavailable. The failure mileage was 6,000 the current mileage was 33,000. Updated 11/3/09 updated 11/06/09.

We were driving down the road and the passenger side van door opened up by itself. Left side sliding door does the same thing, but no as often. We just bought the vehicle few months prior. This would happen intermittently. We took the vehicle to the dealership and they replaced the following right passenger sliding door: (may 7, 2008) motor retainer ( we were told, the first three motors they installed that day were not working) July 8, 2008 reprogram sliding door module April 2nd replaced right sliding door: motor realign left side sliding door and clean the clutch note* when we close the doors with the remote, sometimes they will not shut properly. On occasion, we will shut the doors and go inside and come out and find the door open. When the problem occurs, it is a distraction while driving. The dealership has replaced the motor a few times.

Once the door was finally able to be closed, the door would not open. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 106,000.

Numerous problems with the passenger side automatic sliding door ranging from the door opening on it's own, inability to close the door to the point it had to be towed into the dealer, locks automatically unlocking while vehicle was in motion, door automatically bouncing back open, nick in the cable of the door mechanism, and most recently a part "roller" falling out of the door and the door not closing.

The sliding passenger doors on my 2007 chevy Uplander does not close properly. Everyday they will close partially or even fully then reopen. I even had to drive home one day with a wire hanging out and the warning signal beeping because the door did not close properly. They make an awful noise while closing. The problem is becoming progressively worse. I have had it in the shop 2-3 times already and plan on taking it back to the shop again for repairs for this problem. I have been told that they can not find what is wrong with the doors though. This poses a safety risk to my children as the doors have been reported by others to open while driving.

Passenger sliding door would not close correctly and it open while the car was moving. The door would close then reopen and you would have to hold the door closed in order for the door to lack closed. The repair that was done was to replaced the center hinge roller support and adjusted cables. Then a month later the cable jammed up in the motor and had to be cut to get the door to close. The repair that was done was to replace the cable and motor for the sliding door. The next problem is that the driver side sliding door will open and close fully but when it closes the motor continues to run and the rear of the door pops open slightly. Repair is pending.
