Vehicle has black exterior with a ton of miles!!! Water pump is seized, power steering belt is broke, the radiator support is rotted out and needs to be replaced or repaired!!!!!!Power locks do NOT work, passenger side motor for power window has stopped working and window is in perpetual up position, have had nothing but trouble with front window wipers, I believe the passenger side wiper is non functional!! Interior is stained, radio does NOT work, AC does not work all the time, same with defrost. The cost to fix the seized water pump and rotted radiator support would be greater than value of van if having a shop fixing it, this vehicle is for someone who would have the knowledge and skill to fix the problems themselves thus saving on cost. The car is NOT road worthy right now, you will need to fix these problems. Only positive is the front two tires are only about a month old and the rear windows are not in terrible shape. Perfect vehicle for someone with the time and know all to fix. Do NOT think that you are getting vehicle that can be used right away, it will need to be towed away because it will overheat, it will need a lot of work and time. Read again please!!!! This vehicle might be perfect for someone with the skills to repair and replace the radiator support and to replace the water pump for starters. It has over 200,000 miles!!!! Do not think you are getting a low mileage diamond!!!!! Interior has been beaten like a government mule, the exterior has rust. The tie rod on both sides need to be replaced!!!! If there is something else you can think about being wrong with this vehicle just assume it might need to be replaced. The ebay default says it is a V-6, I have no idea though. Might be 4 cylinder or something, who knows???? I will try to get pictures up but just use the default picture and imagine a black one instead. I have been able to fit 6 people uncomfortably in the back seats and 7-8 of they sit on the floor. Driver seat is jacked up, does NOT move or recline!!!!! Seat belts are also jacked up, the sliding door on the driver side gets stuck while trying to open and you have to swear at it and stomped your feet a few times for it to open. Back hatch has been replaced due to someone hitting us, after it was replaced some other nice person hit us causing another dent in it. The blinkers, headlights, back lights need constant changing. We are well known in the car light aisle at the auto part store. Buy it for the new tires or if you are feeling ambitious and want to fix it up. Good luck.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
