Purchased the truck from car geeks and they said it was a great truck and we would have no problem towing our fifth wheel trailer. well we took it on a trip to phoenix from tucson and we noticed that the truck was not handling very well when we got home i noticed that the passenger side tire was gouged out all the way around the inside bead of the tire also noticed that only the upper control arm had been replaced and nothing else. all of the front suspension was in really bad condition also. along with the steering you can only turn the steering wheel a little ways

I bought a new 2003 chevy express cargo van (2500) in 2003.when this vehicle is under load,traveling on roads with six/seven percent downhill grades,the front end shakes violently. simply tapping the brakes will not bring it under control,you have to literally slam on the brakes,or take the risk of being tossed off the highway.the vehicle has never been stressed in any way (wrecks,hitting curbs,etc) the dealer is unable to determine the problem. i want a dealership to take it,with me,to a road of my above description and find this problem and fix it. i am positive i am not the only person with this model van,with this problem. i have come very close to eternity in this van because of this malfunction.i have not driven the van in three months because of anxiety with the problem. dying in a chevy van because of something like this is no part of what i want in my future.
