| This vehicle is having multiple problems, gm never lets me know of any recalls. i understand that today they have recalled them again for a problem in the steering but i cannot find any information. very upset that i have to pay to get this thing fixed! really need a new car now. the gas gauge or tank is empty when the gauge shows 1/2 tank. side door we unplugged because it would not close and the light still shows on my dash as open. many times it simply would not open. in a crash we would not be able to open any doors if the vehicle was running. the transmission is leaking badly. we replaced it once only to have this happen again. we use a lot of fluid and oil. the engine is running very poorly, would not pass emissions. interior lights will not work. van looks new on outside except the hood which had no primer ed and now has chips on it. we don't know what to do, we cannot afford a new car nor fix this one. | |||
