7/2/2023 0 Comments 2008 brown chevy passenger vanA few months later, my partner experienced the same thing. The local Chevy dealer told me that the rotors on these big 1 tons warp when they get hot but then unwarp when they are cool. I almost crashed this POS when the ABS went haywire in the mountains and the van was shaking so hard I could barely control it. I have been driving 1 ton stretch vans since 1982, over a million miles, including lots of mountain miles. The Express' tendency to leap into the air, jiggle the front wheels and then crash back on the pavement is a direct challenge to a jet pilot's hand – eye coordination, especially at 70mph. And the brakes are mushier than English peas. The ride's bouncy enough to make Tigger nauseous. Turning corners turns the word "Express" into a cruel joke. The Express drives like there's 150bhp on tap, at most. While the transmission shifts decently for a truck, the engine roared like a jet belching turbine blades out the back end. If we're talking about Brio wooden toy trains, then yes. Did I want to know what chain of events led to this situation? Uh…Įquipped with Ye Olde 6.0-liter Vortec V8 engine groaning out 300bhp, "my" Chevrolet Express should have driven con brio. In our tester, the Express' spare stood upright IN THE MIDDLE of the cargo area. The idea of driving an Express with MORE weight on top or towing a trailer does not fill me with confidence (as in scares me to death). And doesn't.)Īt least the Express seats 15 people. In fact, I nearly fell right back out (thigh bolstering need not apply. The Express' plastic flash seams ripped my flight suit as I hoisted myself into the driver's seat- an extremely difficult not to say pointless maneuver, as there are NO grab handles ANYWHERE in the van. I'm not saying the van's panel gaps are large, but I wouldn't let Paris Hilton ride in it lest her chihuahua fall into one of the gaps and disappear forever (perish the thought). The Express "boasts" acres of cheap beige plastic, spread throughout the cabin like polymer kudzu. "What a piece of crap." That's an affirmative sir! My cohort, Captain Alfred, displayed his usual flair for automotive insight. The van's interior is an unattractive, poorly-built ergonomic disaster zone. When I opened said doors, I reeled back in terror. We finally solved the riddle when we realized that GM forgot to put a detent stop on the door, letting it swing open fully into the front passenger door, leaving a series of scars on both.
