The Chevrolet Van or Chevy Van (also known as the Chevrolet/GMC G-series vans and GMC Vandura) is a range of vans that was manufactured by General Motors from the 1964 to 1996 model years. Introduced as the successor for the rear-engine Corvair Corvan/Greenbrier, the model line also replaced the panel van configuration of the Chevrolet Suburban. The vehicle was sold both in passenger van and cargo van configurations as well as a cutaway van chassis that served as the basis for a variety of custom applications.

Produced across three generations (1964–66, 1967–70, and 1970–96), the model line was sold under a wide variety of model names under both the Chevrolet and GMC brands. The first two generations were forward control vehicles (with the engine placed between the seats); the third generation adopted a configuration placing the engine forward of the driver. The second and third generations shared powertrain commonality with the C/K pickup truck model line.

After the 1996 model year, GM retired the G-Series vans, replacing them with the GMT600-platform Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana.

Common 1992 Chevrolet Van problems

Based on complaints from owners of the 1992 Chevrolet G20 van, several common problems have been reported. Here is a detailed list of these issues:

Starting Issues: Owners have reported difficulties with starting the 1992 Chevrolet G20 van. This problem can be attributed to various factors such as a dead battery, battery corrosion, a bad timing belt, a failed ignition coil, or a faulty starter motor. A dead battery is a common reason for starting problems, and it can be jumpstarted with jumper cables. Battery corrosion can also lead to starting issues, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clean battery. Additionally, a failed timing belt, ignition coil, or starter motor can all contribute to starting problems and may require professional attention to resolve.
Wheel Bearing Problems: Some owners have experienced issues with wheel bearings on their Chevrolet G20 vans. Wheel bearing problems can manifest as noise, vibration, or irregular tire wear. Addressing wheel bearing issues promptly is crucial to prevent further damage to the vehicle's suspension system and ensure safe driving conditions.
Interior Dash Peeling and Delamination: Another common problem reported by owners is the peeling and delamination of the interior dash. Over time, the dash material may deteriorate, leading to an unsightly appearance. This issue not only affects the aesthetics of the vehicle but can also impact its resale value. Replacing the dash or seeking professional repair services may be necessary to address this problem effectively.
Rust Issues: Rust on the roof of the Chevrolet G20 van has been highlighted as a concern by some owners. Rust can compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle and lead to further corrosion if left untreated. Regular inspections and rust prevention measures, such as rust inhibitors or protective coatings, can help mitigate this issue and prolong the lifespan of the vehicle.
Plastic Component Breakage: Owners have reported problems with cheap plastic components in the Chevrolet G20 van, particularly issues with rattling and breakage. As vehicles age, plastic parts can become brittle and prone to damage, affecting the overall driving experience. Addressing broken plastic components promptly can help maintain the vehicle's functionality and reduce potential safety hazards.

By addressing these common problems reported by owners of the 1992 Chevrolet G20 van, drivers can better understand potential issues with their vehicles and take proactive measures to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
