While driving down I-75 in michigan doing ~75mph, I feel a sharp tug then a sway. We took the vehicle home and inspected it. The welds on the body to the attaching point of the rear axle had broken and the rear end of the vehicle was tracking sideways. Thank god nothing bad happened, we had all six of our kids with us when it went out at 75mph.

2005 chevy Uplander lt. Undercarriage rusted on back passenger side within 9 months after purchase, causing separation of the rear passenger wheel from the body of vehicle. When driving, you can hear/feel clunking/squeaking noise which sounds like the tire is going to come completely off the car. Area affected cannot be replaced nor welded as this can be unsafe to drive. I have images that can be sent via email.

Tamara recall as I was driving with my whole family in our van, the left trailing are broke off. Therefore, my axle started to fall off. I could not stop us.

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 this van around 2010,the mileage was around 60,000. The first thing I noticed was the light. I was pulled out by the police about my light. I went straight to auto zone and changed it. I have changed my bulbs more than twenty times. I got warnings. Secondly, my remote control have been acting out. I changed the battery several times. It will work for only few hours and stop. I started locking my doors manually,only the passenger door is left to control the button. The worst experience that led me to file this report is the fuel tank and the steering wheel. My van had stopped more than twenty times without warning,each time I bought gas and it will start working. The last experience is still frightening to me. I was driving on a highway at 55m/hr my gauge was showing just below half tank,all of a sudden my van accelerated and sound went off,I immediately made a left turn on a green light to a street that went down the hill. I could not control my van no more,I turned off the key and it went to a stopped with a bang noice. Fire fighters were around that area,they immediately rushed to help and suggested I buy gas which I did and my van started working again. I approached somebody using the same type of van,she said she experienced same issues several times. My daughter had an accident with this van once,I begin to wonder what might have caused it although she said another driver caused it and fled,now even if my gas is showing full tank I will make sure I still buy more. I am scared to give my van to my children to drive. I escaped accident more than four times because of the same issue. I don't drink,never smoke, I use my van mainly to work. Recently the rod that holds the tyre don't know the name just broke into two without any reason. I was just trying to reverse and I noticed my van will not move. Came down and I saw that. I just replaced my tail light few days ago.

After I bought the van in 2009 , at low speeds there is a clunking noise in the right rear.

Soon after the purchase of the van I had a problem with to much play in the steering and noise in the front end. I took it back to the dealer and they said they could not verify the problem, so we went back numerous times ,finally in 4-20133 they replaced the steering shaft. It seem to be okay for a while but after driving about 2000 miles it was loose again. My warrantee has ended so the dealer says I have to pay for another shaft. How many times should this be replaced to be considered safe? has anyone else had this complaint?.
