| Our 2006 chevy uplander first starting having problems at about 20,000 miles when our tires (continental brand that came installed on brand new vehicle from dealer) needed to be replaced due to severe cupping on all 4 tires. we were told it was an alignment issue, so we had the tires replaced and had a 4 wheel alignment. tires needed to be replaced again at 45,000 miles due to same cupping issue. again, another 4 wheel alignment was preformed. fuel sensor was reading empty on a full tank of gas and the float was replaced at 16,000 miles. now at 50,000 miles, sensor reads consistently empty again on a full tank of gas. severe rattling/vibration from under the vehicle at highway speeds that resonates from between the front driver and passenger seats. (possibly e-brake cable or heat shield?) both front and rear shocks and struts needed to be replaced at 54,000 miles. there is a severe issue concerning the steering. when turning either left or right steering has some slop. the rack and pinion need to be replaced. the electronic stability control sensor, abs sensor, and traction control sensor all illuminate at random times while normal driving is occurring. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet uplander. the contact stated that the service traction control light, abs light, and stabilizer light constantly illuminate in the vehicle. he took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced it twice. they claimed to have repaired the issue, but the failure still persists. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they stated that the contact must pay for the repair. the failure mileage was 29,000 and current mileage was 53,000. | |||

| 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. *tr | |||
