I been driving my 1996 van now for 14 years with the 14 bolt full floater rear end. Dam thing is the best work horse I have ever had. I wish GM would have never changed the body style. I guess I buy a Ford for now on.

Do you drive a 1996 CHEVROLET G30?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
