Most people don't realize that when you buy a new car, you are also giving up your right to sue.

The description should have said that the major engine problems were caused by a DEFECTIVE intake valve SPRING, not a defective intake valve.

Your warranty explicitly stated xx,xxx miles. Yet you seem to think that it should REALLY be xx,227 miles. OK fine. So then what about the guy who has xx,327? 427? 927? An extra 10,000 ??? Exactly where do you draw the line? The other problems you mention - while I'm sure were frustrating - have nothing to do with the engine. So you got exactly what you paid for from GM. For that reason, they owe you nothing and I suspect that's exactly what you'll end up getting. You don't want a 2.5 year old van with a rebuilt engine? Why not? That's what you paid for. It hasn't been new for sometime now. I'm at a loss to understand why you think you're entitled to a new engine or new van. Finally, there is clearly more to the story here. A dealer would normally bend over backwards in a situation like this where a car is barely out of warranty. At the very least it would be "you buy the parts and we'll supply the labor". But instead they offered you an oil change? A $30 item? Gotta be ALOT more to this story.
