This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The driver side seat belt does not buckle into the latch. There's a metal piece inside the latch blocking it from sliding in and snapping in. This started happening a few days ago, preventing me from driving the van since I can't use my seat belt.
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Uplander. The contact stated when he inspected the vehicle he noticed the third row seat belt was not bolted onto the floor. The dealer stated there was nothing they could do to correct the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and denied assistance with the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 71,000.
Power sliding doors open / close by themselves at times (usually right door, but sometimes left). Sometimes, when the door has been closed it will reopen & have to be closed manually. At times the door will stay closed, but the 'dinging' noise will continue for the entire time I am driving. There have been occasions when it continued dinging well after the ignition was turned off. We have had it in the shop and 'fixed' a few times. The fix sometimes lasted a week or two. Sometimes, it only lasted a couple of days. We were never able to pinpoint or predict when the malfunction would occur. Finally, we have removed the fuse permanently and only operate the doors manually to prevent a serious injury from occurring to the children. In the rear (3rd) seat, the right seat belt has also retracted & will not release. This happened one day when I was trying to remove a child from the vehicle. He was in a booster seat and strapped in by the seat belt. When I unlatched the belt, it retracted slightly, but would not pull back out. Now it is too tight to place a car seat, booster, or have someone sit there. I have not made the trip to the service department for this situation. No one is allowed to sit it that seat because the safety restraint is not-usable.
My 7 year old daughter was sitting in her booster seat with her seatbelt on, in the rear passenger seat of our 2005 Chevy Uplander. She leaned forward to pick something off the floor, and the seatbelt ripped out of the seat.
