For the people at Chevrolet: shame on you. This has cost me enormous and my faith in Chevrolet is gone. Will never buy one again.

Can't be that bad - you've had 53000 kilometres out of it.

I see this all the time. Unless it has been towing something a lot during its life before you bought it at 180,000, the KM's are most likely not correct. I have 40 customers with vans like yours, and the transmissions go out at 280,000 to 380,000 km's. Don't blame the van when it's lasted at least 280,000 on a transmission. I check cars for people before they buy them, and 50% are rolled back on the odometer. Your van very likely has lost 100,000 along the way.
