1996 Chevrolet Van problems
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.

BUMPERS, I BELIEVE, SHOULD BE PROTECTION FOR THE PAINTED AREAS AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS, GRILL ETC. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A MANDATE THAT BUMPERS NOT BE PAINTED. SEEMS LIKE COMMON SENSE TO NOT DRIVE AROUND WITH THE MOST LIKELY AREAS TO BE DAMAGED AS PAINTED OR OTHERWISE DELICATE.PLEASE CONSIDER THIS IN YOUR EVALUATIONS AS IT WILL GREATLY REDUCE CONSUMER EXPENCES INVOLVING ACCIDENTS THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY AUTO INSURANCE ( ACCIDENTS UNDER 500.00).

THE GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED THAT THE HINGE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE HIGH MILEAGE AND AGE OF THE VEHICLE.

IT MAY HAVE METAL FATIGUE AND BREAK LATER. THE MATING DOOR IS ALSO VERY STIFF AND COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE METAL FATIGUE AND FAIL LATER.

I FEEL THAT A TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 65,000 MILES. I NEVER EVEN TOWED ANYTHING WITH THIS VAN. REGARDING THE REAR AIR CONDITIONING IN MY VAN, IT WAS THE ALUMINUM PIPE UNDERNEATH THE VAN THAT RUSTED AND ALL THE REFRIGERANT EVAPORATED. THUS, I HAD TO REPLACE A 6" PIECE OF PIPE AT A COST OF OVER $250! I WAS TOLD BY THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPANY FROM INDIANA THAT THEY NO LONGER USE ALUMINUM PIPE SINCE IT RUSTS BEING UNDERNEATH THE VAN, AND THEY USE ANOTHER PRODUCT.
