After 30 days of owning 2005 Chevy Uplander, dealership had to send a tow truck to come pick my van up on the side of the highway. The transmission had gone out. After several months it has started acting up again. To the point they have replaced the transmission. The jerking sensation when putting the van into reverse is still there.
