A Car Service Calls Statistics
🇺🇸 chevrolet uplander 2012 [Brake] Defect age: 4
Brakes intermittently apply themselves without warning. Happened previous to this incident several times at lower speeds. I'm not sure if brake lights activate when this happens making this a highly dangerous situation. Dealer had vehicle three weeks, charged for labor and parts, then stated that they thought they had the problem fixed but couldn't get the automatic traction control light to go out or the dic to not display service stability system. Vehicle was okay for about four weeks then brakes started activating at low speed again. Contacted gm, they refuse to help because vehicle has "branded" title. Suggested I take it back to same dealer and pay them to diagnose a problem they can't fix.
🇺🇸 chevrolet uplander 2015 [Brake] Defect age: 7
Had this car about a year and then the problems started to show up. My abs/traction control started to show up on my dash board and then go away. This has happened roughly 4-5 times but never thought to get it checked out. On 4-2-2015 is when the problems showed its ugly head. My brakes started acting up, front passenger side caliper started sticking and brakes not fully engaging to stop the car unless hit again in rapped braking. I bought over 400 dollars in replacements (calipers, pads as well as rotors) to have the issue resolved. Everything was fine until 4-5-2015 when I put my kids into the car and attempted to start it. My brake pedal froze up wouldn't fully engage and all 4 of my brakes froze up. Had to get the car towed home to have a closer look at the damage. What I found out is that there was a lot of pressure build up that shot out like compressed air once the bleed valve was released but still no disengage of the breaks nor the pedal. With not dealing with a issue like this, I called some friends and was informed that there was a major recall for this particular issue since there is nothing that can be done with out some major repairs as well as time. Thank god my brakes did not freeze while I was on the highway with my family in the far or it could have been a lot worse.

🇺🇸 chevrolet uplander 2011 [Light] Defect age: 3
I have had nothing but problems with this car. I have had brake issues the front sensor wires got snagged and shut down while driving. It had turned on and off a few times once as I slammed on the brakes, I almost rear ended the car in front of me. The fuel system has needed a new wire harness that had burnt up at 108,000 miles, the tuning port needed to be replaced around the same time as well as an evap canister. Now at 140,000 miles the transmission went out. They have blocked me from reporting on facebook how the cars are awful but I am now writing everyone I can about the autos they pass of as american car.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Uplander. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle made a loud noise, vibrated, and shook. In addition, the brakes hesitated to stop the vehicle and the stability control traction indicator illuminated. She took the vehicle to the dealer six times and the diagnostic located the failure code at the stability control. The dealer was unable to correct the failure. A report was filed with the manufacturer. The manufacturer sent a technician to inspect the vehicle, but he was unable to correct the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 4,000 and current mileage was 12,000.

🇺🇸 chevrolet uplander 2016 [Brake] Defect age: 8
We have been having an issue intermittently where the "service stability system" message flashes on the message panel. When this happens our brakes lock up at the same time. This is an extremely scary situation when driving on the interstate or in heavy traffic. We have taken this vehicle in to the dealer to have this checked and they were not able to replicate the issue, therefore we were advised nothing was wrong. I feel that this is a huge safety issue with the number of complaints that have been filed on this issue alone, and I think this warrants a recall on this vehicle because the brakes locking up at inopportune and unexpected times will surely cost lives at some point. We are in a position where we still have a loan on this vehicle for 3 more years and cannot enjoy it for fear of driving the vehicle and this awful thing happening, and we cannot get it fixed because the dealer can't find the problem.
