We purchased an express van in the spring of 2006. Truck engine blew up at 6000 while driving on the freeway.in january 2014, we took the car into a dealership because it stalled 3 times.the dealership put it on the computer diagnostic device and could not find anything wrong with the van.approximately 3 weeks later, on friday the 24th the check engine light came on, we then took it back to the dealership and at this point they told us that the transmission was the problem.the car had just over 32,000 miles when transmission blew up in january of 2014. After the transmission was replaced the car continued to stall and was taken back into the dealership and it had a bushing broken in the front suspension.this van continues to stall and at times fails to start.we are confident that the stalling problem that we are experiencing is the same as the cars that are part of the recall and express vans should be added to the list of recalled vehicles.this vehicle only has 33,000 miles on it as of march 2014.

We purchased a chevy express 15-passenger van in april 2006.since that time, there have been about three failures of the front, side "barn door."a moderate amount of wind can catch the door and stretch it toward the front of the vehicle where it can and has collided with the front right passenger door edge causing a dent in the barn door.it appears that a strap or anchor within the barn door is stretched out of shape.a safety hazard occurs when a person walks between the front right passenger door and the front barn door.this is the point of impact.this began soon after the purchase of our van and has recurred at least twice.our chevy dealership repaired it once but refused to repair it again in july 2007.it remains un-repaired.

2006 chevy express 3500 cargo van with duramax engine and 4l80 transmission made a 'whining' noise at slow speeds since it was brand new.at about 31,000 miles i finally convinced the dealership something was wrong with it. It had some kind of bad bearing at the rear of transmission.they replaced the entire transmission with a brand new transmission.7,000 miles later the van suddenly lost reverse gear and i had to get it pushed in order to back up.gm is replacing some parts, but not the whole transmission.from other posts on your website this transmission is going to continue to be an unsafe problem.
