18. Chevrolet Uplander

The Chevrolet Uplander is the sole vehicle from the American automaker to make this list, a minivan that was produced from 2005 to 2008 in America. It replaced the Venture and Astro models, and was ultimately replaced by the Chevrolet Traverse. Though its sales were decent, the Uplander couldn’t compete with the more popular minivans on the market such as the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna.

The Chevrolet Uplander suffered from reliability issues in the categories of Transmission Minor, Drive System, Fuel System, Electrical System, Climate System, Suspension, Brakes, Paint and Trim, Squeaks and Rattles, Body Hardware, and Power Equipment.
