| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The bearing inside the reaction carrier was damaged causing damage to carrier, reaction gear, sun gear, thrust washers. all transmission parts had to be replaced. i have saved the damaged parts. i contacted chevrolet and they told me that since i had over 36,000 miles on my vehicle, is was no longer under warranty, and i would receive no reimbursement for the repair work. i feel that a transmission should last longer than 65,000 miles. i never even towed anything with this van. regarding the rear air conditioning in my van, it was the aluminum pipe underneath the van that rusted and all the refrigerant evaporated. thus, i had to replace a 6" piece of pipe at a cost of over $250! i was told by the air conditioning company from indiana that they no longer use aluminum pipe since it rusts being underneath the van, and they use another product. they have had many complaints regarding that. this was not covered under warranty since my mileage was also over 36,000 miles. i have had many other problems with this van, some were fixed for the time being, but now i still have the same problem. some were never fixed properly, or the dearler said they didn't know how to fix it. i have many repair invoices for this vehicle. i would never purchase another chevrolet van. *ak |
