Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a problem with the egr valve. gm offered to replace it before 75000 miles. nfortunately my van has more than that and chevrolet dealer will not replace it under warranty. i think it should be consider for a safety recall campaign since when egr fails it stops the engine operation and power steering and power brakes. i almost hit hit cars waiting at the toll at florida turnpike when my egr got stuck while letting of the gas pedal to begin braking. i installed brand new egr but that didnt fix the problem. no help from gm. *ak
