Phoenix is demanding on a Chevrolet Express 2500. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Chevrolet Express 2500 problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.
Most Common Chevrolet Express 2500 Problems in Phoenix
Ranked by owner complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the Express 2500. Counts reflect reports filed, not the share of vehicles affected.
1. Structure

What it looks like:

What we do: Electrical problems are made worse by desert heat, which ages batteries, cables and connectors. We test the battery, starter and charging system and trace faults to the actual part. See our battery replacement and starter & alternator repair pages.
3. Service Brakes, Hydraulic
6 NHTSA owner complaints for the Express 2500 mention brakes (13% of 44 reviewed).
What it looks like:

- A soft or sinking brake pedal
- Steering wheel shake or pulling under braking
- Brake warning light
What we do: Brake complaints turn up on nearly every vehicle, and Phoenix stop-and-go traffic wears brake parts quickly. We measure pads and rotors, check calipers and fluid, and replace only what is worn. See our brake repair page.

What it looks like:

What it looks like:
