Consumer Description

MY VAN SHOWED NO SIGN OF HAVING ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEN ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK IT DIED AT A LIGHT. IT MADE AWFUL NOISES AND WOULD NOT START. I TOWED IT FIRST TO ONE REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE ENGINE REPLACED. THEN I TOWED IT TO THE DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD AT THE REPAIR SHOP THAT AN ENGINE WITH ONLY 79,000 MILES SHOULD NOT GO OUT LIKE THIS AND IT WAS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF GM PARTS. IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED A YEAR LATER. *JB
