problem #1

Uplander 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,000 miles
2006 Chevy Uplander purchased brand new 2 months ago. The headlights and interior lights are constantly flickering/dimming, with or without acceleration and while radio, and heater are off. Other drivers are blowing their horns at me and I believe this to be a serious safety issue. Vehicle is going into shop for service, however, technicians deny knowing of any such existing issues with these vehicles.
