As you can see, I have had numerous problems with this van. The dealer nor Chevrolet have offered any assistance saying that after 36,000 miles they are not responsible. Obviously, there is something wrong with this car. I am a single mom and I cannot pay my car payment plus repairs every month. I cannot trade it in because I owe too much on it.
