Transmission Not Engage Problems of Chevrolet Venture

Transmission failed: - the engagement of automatic transmission was sluggish, and would slip at low speeds (especially after being in park for more than a couple of hrs). - transmission made a whining noise day prior to failure - the transmission would not engage when the lever was operated (failed transmission) - towed to dealership - contacted gm customer service - was told by dealership that the transmission needs to be rebuilt - the transmission was rebuilt - a week after the transmission was rebuilt, the engagement was sluggish again - took it back to dealership - problem has since been fixed.

I own a 1998 chevy Venture van. I recently took it in for a recall for a defect on the steering rack and pinion (NHTSA campaign id number : 02v286000). The dealer would not replace the defective component because the van has a salvage title. I was notified that "the bearing is about to fall out" and the entire rack and pinion was damaged due to the defect and has to be replaced at a cost of $600. I called gm and was informed that it was their policy not to do recalls on vehicles with a salvaged title. This is a defect and a safety issue regardless of the salvaged title and I think gm should be responsible for fixing it. There is also another safety recall on the transmission (NHTSA campaign id number : 98v131000) that is a problem on my particular van. About a year ago, a 5 year old friend of the family was playing in the van (without our knowledge). He was able to move the shift lever enough to disengage the transmission lock even though it was still in park, and the van rolled down the hill in our back yard. It was stopped by a small tree. Nobody was hurt even though there were two other children in the back yard playing and the van suffered only minor damage. I thought perhaps this was because the van had previously been in an accident so I didn't pursue looking into the problem. Then I discovered the recall on it and now I feel that gm should fix this problem. What can I do to get them to fix my van?.

This truck is a 1997 model I purchased in may 1998 from tom taylor Chevrolet in martin, tennessee. Within 3 months I had to take the truck back (before the 6-month warrenty inspection) because the transmission would not pull the truck. Since then I've had intermittent problems with the transmission including transmission will not engage, even at stop signs, with accelerator pressed down and at increased rpm's. Have to shift manually. Transmission jerks when shifting and will not sheft into overdrive. This has nearly got me injured or killed at a busy intersection.
