“I own a 1997 chevy customized van. I have just had to have my transmission rebuilt with just 79,000 miles. I have had nothing but mechanical problems with the van, most during the warranty period. I've replaced 2 starters, 2 fuel pumps, 1 speedometer, 3 batteries, and fuel leaks over the years. There were also 2 recall items, one dealing with the fuel system. All of my work has been with local chevy service centers, but not very happy. At around 55,000 miles, we had a problem with the transmission jumping or shifting roughly at lower speeds in town, but it was intermittent. …”
