NHTSA complaint #10054955, filed 2004-01, 18,000 miles

“We purchased a Chevrolet Express van brand new in august 2000, and from day one we have had problems with it. The first thing to go wrong with it was the mirrors would shake when the van would go up on the highway doing 55 MPH. We brought it back to the dealer who fixet the problem, but to this day it still exists. The next thing is the passanger side rear door will squeak and get stuck when you try to open/close it. The next thing to go wrong with it is the tires. …”
