To ensure accuracy and for your safety, it is recommended to do a free VIN recall check here or here [USA] - UK - Canada.

Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

Paint is peeling from all parts of the exterior vehicle, even around the window frames and door frames! It appears that no paint primer was used, at all! My white van has missing paint from about 75% of the vehicle, with bubbling going on, in the remainder of paint that has yet to fall off! Looking at any chevy van that is on the roadways, one can easily see that the paint has also been falling off those vehicles, as well! This is a well-known defect in the painting practices of most all chevrolet vans, and should be dealt with on a class-action basis, since all chevrolet van owners are forced to live with an inferior paint scheme on these vehicles! But new owners are not aware of these shortcomings, until they see the paint fall off their vans, for no apparent reason! And it is clearly seen that no paint primer was used, when you look at the paint chip that fell off! Shame on chevrolet and shame on the nhtsa agency for allowing any auto manufacturer to put out such inferior products to unsuspecting consumers!

Both rear tires veerubber taiga h/t size lt 245/75r16 dot # 6msg-ch had become unserviceable due the inside side wall belt plys separating rendering the vehicle unsafe to operate. The tires were replaced on 5 mar 2021 with new copper stfr solarus lt245/75r16 through mavis tire which had installed the taiga tires mentioned above on 21 may 2020. This is unacceptable for these ties since they only approximately 15000 miles on them and they had a service life of 45000 miles. This issue came to light when we were operating our van on a highway traveling at approximately 60 miles an hour.

When driving on dry pavement the traction control or stabilitrak will kick on and it pulls to the right really hard on and off and its hard to control the vehicle. The first time it happened i actually thought i had a flat tire. When this is happening it feels like the anti-lock brakes also kick in as it is very hard to stop also. I have had this happen at 45mph and its terrifying im afraid if this happened at 70mph it would cause you to lose control of the vehicle

Serviced vehicle due to *check engine light. Ran rough, skipped misfiring. According to the repair bill we received from emerson auto dealers. It appears that the fuel system had corrosion throughout the fuel system and a hole on the top of the fuel tank! All of the fuel lines and injectors and tank had to be replaced. This is a very high risk of fire hazard. Contacted our dealership and was informed that our vin # had no recalls regarding issues, only some had met the criteria for that year?! This is outrageous. What can be do to help with the cost of these repairs? Thank you *tr

The brakes on my vehicle were inspected at homewood chevrolet in illinois and they did not need pads or anything, however, the brakes brakes release on their own when you are driving. There was a hydraulic recall and i never received any information..The headlights on my car also keep burning out within weeks of having them changed. The vehicle has some suspension issue as well. There was also a recall for that which i received no notice for.I have not moved since purchasing this vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet express. The contact stated that the front seat belt buckles were jammed. The buckles had to be broken in order to release the seat belt. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 155,000.

Vehicle was taken in for inspection and failed due to the transmission cross member rusting out. It is 7 years old but has low mileage. I do not feel that failure of the frame should happen i was told that this failure due to rust is common on these vans and they make a replacement cross member that bolts right in because of this problem. I have already had to replace abs sensors due to corrosion and now this, both are safety parts and failed because they are not designed for the normal wear and tear in northern states. *jb

Key gets stuck! Car wont turn over!,key falls out while driving! Even though its a recall dealer wont fix. *tr
