The transmission is notably going to fail. It makes noise similar to a Manual Transmission when accelerating. (It is also similar to power steering noise when needing fluid ~ no, the power steering has been checked and is fine) I checked the transmission fluid, it is Clean and at the Correct Level. There isn't any logical reason for transmission issues. This is just a continuation of a problem that was notable from early on. The transmission has also not shifted correctly into gear on occasion.

It was not completely in gear (when it should've been) and jerked (slipped) into gear. It's been an on going problem that has progressively gotten worse. This vehicle has had Major wiring issues and sensor problems. I am shocked, as I expected more from a Chevy.

When van has been driven (warmed-up) and have to accelerate quickly into traffic, the transmission jerks really hard between first and second gear along with making a huge clunking noise. There have been times I literally thought I'd dropped the tranny on the road! I've been very careful to try to keep this from happening, waiting tremendous amounts of time before pulling out into traffic. Sometimes it can't be helped.

Transmission slips, when shifting and when driving, major issue. Dealers says it is within specs. The transmission has poor shifting qualities. My neighbor has he same Van and his is much better then mine. Chev made very little attempt to fix it right. Also, the transmission whines at low speeds.

THIS VAN!!! Im gettin sick of fixing the problem when It won't fix! This van has soo many problem on it, but i put the most annoying problem as my complaint (transmission slipping). Chev uplander 2005 should be on a damn recall list! I pray to God everytime i drive it that i get to my destination and back home again. Grrrr!!! so far we are trying everything, and nothing seems to be fix. I HOPE THEY RECALL THIS VAN!!! Too many problems, not just for me, but for many!
