I own a 2005 chevy uplander minivan and experienced several instances of the outside rear door latch pinching the inside of your finger when you squeeze the latch to open the rear hatch. So far it happened to myself, my son, my neighbor, and my grandson. It has caused anywhere from small skin lacerations to blood blisters. Once you engage the latch to open the hatch and start to squeeze it you have no choice but to cycle the latch as it pinches your finger skin until the latch opens and sets you free.

2005 uplander horn did not operate when the steering wheel pad was depressed at the horn symbols or below. *ts ***nar*** the horn problem was addressed, but not completed because parts had to be ordered. The consumer was shown that the horn did work, but only when the steering wheel pad was depressed in the upper 126 degree section above the horn symbols. The liftgate lock/latch was replaced.
The doors both voluntarily & involuntarily open/close. They may open while going down the road. They will also open when not prompted in the middle of the night, when everyone is asleep. They also will not close on some occasions. They start to close, then give a warning bell & re-open. We bought this vehicle because I have a 24 yr. Old son with cerebral palsy. I cannot, in good concience, put him in this vehicle..due to the major safety issues. Would you put your child in this vehicle & wonder whether the doors would decide to come open while going 75 down the interstate?
Dt: caller said automatic sliding door was defective. Caller had it fixed twice already, and has an appointment for a third time. The cable broke, and she was waiting for the part. The bell that signaled door ajar sounded constantly. Also, the motor for the sliding door was replaced twice, and currently was waiting for another one. This will be the third motor in three months.
Passenger power sliding door was stuck in the open position. Pressed the power button and the door closed 30% and jammed. I checked for any blockages and did not see any. I pushed the power button again and the motor sounded abnormal. I removed the key from the ignition took the door handle and tried to manually close the door. At that point the bracket ,bearings and cable came off with the back of the door. The back of the van is now damaged along the bracket.
