| On feb 18, 2013 my door came off on my uplander, along with numerous electrical error messages at the same time. i had my vehicle in the shop for over 3 weeks until i finally was able to pick up. i also had the engine stability and the air pressure monitor and air bag, and traction control repaired costing a total of $2,336.00 dollars of repairs completed. after reading other complaints on this vehicle, i am trying to trade in my vehicle where i purchased it, but i owe more then what it was appraised for. i have asked the dealer for a trade, but they are not working with me. i am afraid for the safety of my family, and other vehicles on the road when operating this vehicle. please, do not take this complaint lightly, and assist me in making gmc replace my vehicle as soon as possible. | |||

| The vehicle will not heat the interior cabin when the engine is at idle. this causes the windshield to fog or fail to defrost and the passengers to be cold and uncomfortable and distracted while driving. this problem is common among uplander vans. | |||
