Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet uplander. The contact stated that whenever the vehicle was parked on an incline, the fuel level indicator would display that the fuel tank was empty and the vehicle would not start. In addition, the brakes were worn prematurely, the ABS warning light would illuminate intermittently, both driver and passenger sliding doors were malfunctioned and the headlights would fail intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times in regards to the failure but to no avail. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Bought a 2006 uplander from royal chevrolet in richmond va. Vehicle was sold to us in july 2007 as new. Starting in oct-nov vehicle engine light comes on, in november tie rods and sway bars had to already be replaced, vehicle vibrates while sitting still,vehicle steering column creaks, clanks and screeches, vehicle sways to right and I have to "overdrive" to keep it on road safely, shakes while sitting still, rattling noise from right side back passenger area, headlight dim on their own while driving at night, rpms rev up with normal driving,gas reads empty with 1/4 tank in it and will not start if parked on downward incline. The only thing taken seriously was the tie rod and sway bars, they were fixed but van still shakes and does not feel safe. I wrote letters to the manufacturer and many weeks have gone by with no contact from them to help me fix my problems.

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet uplander. While the gear shift was in park, the vehicle would not start; however, there was five gallons of gasoline in the vehicle. After adding more gasoline, the vehicle started. That vehicle continued to stall when it is parked on an incline. The dealer stated that is due to way the car is designed and advised her not to park on an incline. A complaint was filed with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 30,000. Updated 3/5/08 *cn updated 03/05/08

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.
