I TOOK MY VAN IN UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE MY ABS DOESN'T WORK. MY REAR AXLE CLANKS AND WINDS. TWO WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT THESE PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCURED. I TOOK MY VAN INTO THE DEALER SHIP RIGHT AWAY AND THEY REPLACED MY REAR AXLE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE STILL EXISTS BUT WAS WORSE AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AXLE. THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSING AND I WILL BE IN NEED OF A NEW AXLE SOON AND HAVE NEVER HAD ABS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VAN AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T REPAIR THE PROBLEMS. THEY TELL US THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ABS OR THE REAR AXLE. THEY TESTED MY BRAKES BY DRIVING MY VAN AROUND THE PARKING LOT. MY FRONT BRAKES ARE SPONGY AND THEY LOCK UP ON WET ROADS WHEN BRAKING HARD. THIS IS A 1999 CHEVY EXPRESS VAN. WE ALSO PURCHASED A 1999 CHEVY MONTE CARLO SIGHT UNSEEN AT THE SAME TIME WE PURCHASED OUR EXPRESS VAN. WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT OF THE MONTE CARLO AND IT WAS THE TREAD OFF OF THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AFTER TWO THOUSAND MILES. THEY KEPT TELLING US...
