Chevrolet
Uplander

The front passenger seat belt is frayed. When I went to the GM dealer to have it replaced I was advised that was not possible that the belt is no longer available. The seat belts are required by law (a safety item) so I doubt that they are allowed to discontinue. When I looked online I found GM parts on several websites and also this belt available for purchase. So why is a Dealer informing people that they cannot be replaced? This vehicle only has 81,000 miles on it.

I think my trailing arm on the rear suspension are coming loose

safety issue becomes whenever noise from under carriage as if as trailing arms are out of order notice problems whenever roll over small bumps in the road or uneven pavement

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Uplander. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 mph, the rear end and front passenger’s side of the vehicle would vibrate with an abnormal, clunking sound coming from the vehicle. The ABS warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel when the failure occurred. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that the rear suspension trailing arm was defective and needed to be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA campaign number: 10V110000 (Suspension) which he linked to the failure however, the Vin was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 209,000.

WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN AS I GO TO ACCELERATE TO DRIVE THE CAR HERE'S VERY BADLY AND CAUSES CARS BEHIND YOU TO CAPABLE HIT YOU. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE

DUE TO A MINOR ACCIDENT WITH A DEER, WE NEED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS IN THIS ONLY 12-YEAR OLD VEHICLE, WITH ONLY 135,XXX MILES ON IT. A CHEVY DEALER REPORTS THAT THESE AIRBAGS ARE 'DISCONTINUED AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE'. THIS CAR SHOULD EASILY BE USABLE FOR ANOTHER 135,XXX+ MILES. OVER HALF OF THE USEFUL LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE WILL BE LOST IF WE CANNOT REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROX 60 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, (SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE OF THE DEER APPROACHING). UNSAFE CONDITION IS ONLY THE UNAVAILABILITY OF NEW, REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. REST OF MINOR BODY DAMAGE IS EASILY REPAIRABLE. THIS 'EXTENDED BODY 7-PASSENGER' VEHICLE IS BUILT ON A FULL 'TRUCK' FRAME, WHICH WAS NOT DAMAGED. ONLY LOSS BESIDES THE AIRBAGS IS ONE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND MINIMAL SHEET METAL DAMAGE. *TR

VEHICLE WONT START AT TIMES: AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR OR SO AND MAKING SEVERAL STOPS SUCH AS SHOPPING STARTER WILL NOT ENGAGE OPENING THE HOOD TO ALLOW MOTOR TO COOL DOWN SEEMS TO HELP. TRYING TO START VEHICLE TAKES UP TO 15 TO 25 TRIES. ALL BATTERY CONNECTIONS SEEM TO BE SECURE. STARTER WAS REPLACED THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. OTHER ISSUES POWER STEERING LEAKING FROM UNDER CARRIAGE. PROBLEMS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FEBRUARY 2019.
