This is in regards to claim #10242028 the mileage was closer to 9500 and we were referred to you through the attorney generals office in belling ham wa. I did receive a copy of there inspection report and they told a lie on hearing the noise it was not a quiet noise when you turned the vehicle left or right it would be very loud. We were told by the Chevy dealer that it would be very unsafe to drive the car with the very same noise we left with off the lot. The issue is that I drove an unsafe car off there lot and it became more unsafe the more we drove it. The reason all of the other things went wrong on the car was a result of them not fixing what was wrong with it in the first place. They said the tires were wearing out because it was not properly maintained I don't believe this at all. I am very angry at them and I can't believe they can just get away with this. When I drove the van to seattle the other day the service T/C and service ABS system lights were on all the way there I am afraid to drive the van and my wife is to. I truly hope there is something that can be done about this we paid $26,000 and we thought we were getting a fairly new reliable van that is what we paid for thank you for your help !!!!

I have a 2006 Chevy Uplander lt and I started to have problems around 3,000 miles of ownership. It started with electrical issues (hard drive entertainment system, gas gauge, dimming lights, radio losing settings, hard starts, service ABS, and service traction control) and gradually moved to mechanical issues (clucking noises " front end, vibrations " front end, steering binding, and grinding noises from the front end). What has been replaced in hopes of fixing the issues are the hard drive to the entertainment system, main computer module (twice and reprogrammed several times), steering column, steering box, rack and pinion, front stabilizing control arms, front brake, front rotors resurfaced, ABS control module (never fixed the service ABS and service traction control). The dealer still can?T explain the grinding noise and is trying to convince me that it is normal characteristics of the van (they actually wrote that in the service report). They can not resolve the service ABS and traction control errors. They can?T resolve the hard starts. The dealer has taken a position that no more diagnostic work will be performed to the front end until I replace a cupped tire (their opinion). I have hired a lemon law attorney to help with my problem.
