THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OFF ON THEIR OWN, THEN ONLY BRIGHTS WORK, AFTER A FEW MILES THOSE QUIT TOO. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS FAIL SO DO THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT TO MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND SHE ENDED UP IN A STEEP DITCH BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T SEE WHERE SHE WAS PULLING OVER WITHOUT LIGHTS.

THE MOTORIZED DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE MOTOR IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE DOORS TO CLOSE. THE DEALER PUT IN A NEW ONE WHEN I HAD 23,000 MILES ON AND SAID THAT THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. IT IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN AND I ONLY HAVE 85,000 ON THE CAR NOW.

TAKATA RECALL 2007 CHEVEROLET UPLANDER LT WHEN YOU PULL OUT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR DOESN'T KICK BACK TO FIRST GEAR. ( SLIPS OUT OF GEAR). VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. SO YOU WILL BE IN MOTION. ALSO WHEN YOUR IN MOTION DOING 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND TRY'S TO CHANGE INTO 3RD GEAR IT CHANGES HARD. ALSO IN MOTION.
