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
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.
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

Sliding door was closing at first, then when the child safety latch was engaged, it wouldn't close. Then when we switched the latch back, the door closed and wouldn't open again. The door, although closed more than before, wasn't fully closed as it kept the dome lights on and you could hear the wind blowing. The fact that the door wouldn't open, we had to climb in and out of the van via the passenger door or climb over the back seats and out the back doors. The dome lights had to be disconnected as to not run the battery down overnight. It also made driving at night difficult with the lights on.
When the brakes were appliedthe vehicle shifted into 3rd gear.the vehicle was taken to the dealer, and they could notfind the cause of theproblem.thishappened nine times in 2900 miles.*sc

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!
Paint is simply peeling flaking away by hand and i only wash it by hand its terrible and 80% of the vans i see in florida are the same.how come nothing gets done chevy should paint these trucks for free and honor the brand i guess i will sell loose lots of money and buy a more reliable ford.
Paint peeling off, has been for years.
Paint peeling on roof gutter and door around windows.

Subject vehicle is a 2005 chevy express/explorer conversion van.the passenger side shock tower steel arm completely separated at the welded point.i drove vehicle to closest dealer. Was told that the vehicle took a hit and that it was not covered by manufacturer's warranty, and that it was not safe to drive.was told that auto insurance might cover the damage.at no time was that vehicle involved in an accident. Filed claim with allstate. Dealer repair shop was authorized by in-house adjuster to determine if damage was covered. Insurance adjuster called to say they would cover the claim.we disputed the claim and asked the adjuster to visually inspect the vehicle himself because we felt it was a manufacturer's defect.adjuster concurred and denied the claim.[we were disturbed by the way our claim was handled and wondered if insurance fraud was being played out.we are following thru with the state insurance dept.]when the claim was denied the dealer told us to take the vehicle to where we purchased it because they then determined that it was a conversion van company issue.we took the vehicle to our dealership and they determined that the conversion company installed 20 inchrims/tires on a vehicle with 16 inch maximum rim/tire requirement per engineering specs. The questions that arise now are:why did they sell to us a vehicle which does not meet engineering specs?to what extent was my family at risk or in danger?how many other families are there who are potentially at risk due to this condition?what are the chances that this won't happen again?what recourse do we have?we certainly do not want that vehicle back if we cannot have the 20 inch rims/tires. [low profile tires]16 inch rims/tires will take away from the look of the vehicle.
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 2021with 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.
