I PURCHASED MY VAN ON 12/26/2000 AND DROVE IT HOME. I HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE NEXT DAY, BUT FINALLY STARTED AND I USED IT. I PARKED OVERNIGHT AND COULD NOT START IT ON 12/28. IT WAS TOWED IN BY DEALER ON 12/29 AND RELEASED TO ME THE NEXT DAY CLAIMING LOOSE BATTERY CONNECTION AS CAUSE OF PROBLEM. I USED IT HALF DAY ON 12/30 AND PARKED OVERNIGHT. AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START ON 12/31. DEALER TOOK IT IN TODAY TODAY AND VAN IS STILL WITH DEALER AS AT THIS TIME MY MAIL. I WAS TOLD THE VAN IS IN PERFECT RUNNING CONDITION. BUT NOW I AM NOT SO SURE OF WHAT TO THINK. I AM FRUSTRATED AND WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY USING THIS VAN. WHAT AM I DOING OR NOT DOING THAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM? THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO REPORT MY PROBLEM. *AK

THE VAN WILL SUDDENLY ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE IN GEAR WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE- EVEN A SLIGHT INCLINE. RECENTLY, THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AS MY VAN ALMOST ROLLED INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED MANY TIMES, BUT IT DOES NOT OCUR EVERY TIME I AM STOPPED ON A HILL (INCLINE). WHEN IT OCCURS, THE VAN ROLLS BACK VERY FAST, NOT GRADUALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY (11/2/00) AND HE SAID THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. HE ASLO SAID THAT HE HAS HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE COME IN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. (NO OTHER CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS DONE THIS.) IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY DEFECT.*AK
WAS TRYING TO LATCH BUILT IN CHILD SEAT, LATCH WOULD FAIL TO CATCH IN BUCKLE MECHANISM IN CHEST AREA. WHEN IT WAS LOCKED, COULD PULL OR TUG ON IT & LATCH WOULD RELEASE. TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER. SERVICE MANAGER CHECKED LATCHING & INDICATED IT WAS OKAY, NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE. SALES PERSON INDICATED ALL VENTURES WITH BUILT IN SEATS ARE LIKE THAT.*AK
WHEN ON AN INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO HOLD THE CAR WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED, CAUSING THE VAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THIS HAPPENS ON SLIGHT INCLINES. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL, BUT WITH THE 15 OTHER AUTOMATIC CARS I HAVE OWNED, THIS HAS NEVER BEEN THE CASE. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS WARM AND DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. THE ROLLING OCCURS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE ON EVEN THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE. CHEVROLET HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY INQUIRES REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ROLLING WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.*AK

WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING AT THE SPEEDLIMIT OF 70MPH MY DAD SAID, HE HEARD A FUNNY SOUND SO HE ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER OFF THE FREEWAY THERE WAS MANY CARS AND LONGHAUL TRUCK APPROACHING WHEN THE CAR JUST LIKE IT DROPPED AND PULLED US OVER ALMOST CAUSING US TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT MY DAD GOT US SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ,AND MY HUSBAND AND MY DAD GOT OUT TO FIND THE TIRES OUTSIDE SIDE WALL HAD COMPLETELY COME OUT FROM THE TIRE, THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THESE TIRES, THE FIRST TIRE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE CAME OUT .THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A MONTH OF EACHOTHER .I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VAN ON THE FREEWAY, I FEEL THESE TIRES ARE VERY UNSAFE, THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT ,THE VAN COULD HAVE EASILY FLIPPED OVER AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.THE TIRE DEALERSHIPS THAT SEEN THE TIRES SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE, THE TIRES JUST CAME APART , THE WHOLE SIDES ARE JUST LIKE SOMEONE RIPPED THEM RIGHT OUT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO NEW TIRES, SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG,WHEN TWO TIRES DO THE SAME EXACT THING WITHIN A MONTH OF EACHOTHER, I THINK THIS SAYS THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: ACM3BLI279 TIRESIZE: P215)
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWER CONTROL MODULE BUT SOON AFTER THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. NLM
TIRE BLEW OUT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO BE EXAMINED. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ROAD HAZARD SIGNS. DEALERSHIP CONTACTED MANUFACTURER AND THEY REFUSED WARRANTY. THE TIRE WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.( DOT NUMBER: W2M3BCB259 TIRE SIZE: P215/70R15 )

OUR VAN BROKE DOWN IN CANON CITY WHICH IS APPROX. 136 MILES FROM NORTHGLENN BUT WE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS FROM 55 TO 75 MILES MPH & IF THE VAN WOULD HAVE QUIT AT THOSE SPEEDS WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BUT FORTUNATELY WE WERE LUCKY BUT MY CONCERN IS LETTING OTHER DRIVERS KNOW OF THE SERIOUS DEFECT THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE & FATAL INJURIES.
VEHICLE BROUGHT TO DEALER. DEALER COULD NOT RECREATE CONDITION AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF IDLING IN THE YARD. ASKED ME IF IT HAD BEEN RAINNING! VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO THEM "WET" ON 8/1/00. DEALER FOUND PROBLEM TO BE IMPROPER A/C MODULE SEALANT. MODULE SHOWED TRACES OF HEATER BOX GREASE WHICH WAS PLUGGING DRAIN. ALSO FOUND DRAIN OPENING TO BE TOO SMALL. RE-SEALED MODULE AND MADE OPENING LARGER. INSTALLED DOWNSPOUT OFF DRAIN TO ELIMINATE ANY REVERSE PRESSURE SITUATIONS.
CAN SEND A MORE READABLE VERSION ON REQUEST. I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT A VERY REAL AND DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET VENTURES. WE BOUGHT A 2000 MODEL THIS SPRING. WHILE TRAVELING ONE DAY, MY WIFE AND I, IN THE FRONT SEATS, THOUGHT WE SMELLED SMOKE. WE FIGURED THAT A VEHICLE THAT PASSED US ON THE INTERSTATE WAS SPEWING FUMES, SO WE DIDN'T REALLY THINK IT WAS ANYTHING SERIOUS. A FEW SECONDS LATER, SMOKE STARTING POURING OUT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT! I YELLED AT MY WIFE TO PULL OVER, AND SHE AND OUR THREE CHILDREN IMMEDIATELY EVACUATED THE VEHICLE. I STOOD BY THE PASSENGER DOOR, TRYING TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THIS SMOKE, WHICH WAS POURING OUT FROM THE FRONT AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT. I PULLED OUT THE STORAGE DRAWER UNDER THE SEAT, EXPECTING SOMETHING THERE. IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT I LOOKED BEHIND THE SEAT, SO SEE THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT GLOWING BRIGHT ORANGE FROM OPEN FLAMES. INSTINCT TOOK OVER AT THAT POINT, AND I VERY QUICKLY PULLED OUT THE CONTENTS UNDER THE SEAT - A CHILD'S BOOK, A SPIRAL-BOUND NOTEBOOK, AND A NYLON SEAT-BELT COVER DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN. I THEN BEGAN STAMPING OUT THE ITEMS AND THE BURNING CARPET WITH MY SHOES AND BARE HANDS. ALL OF THIS TOOK, AT MOST, 15-20 SECONDS. MY WIFE SUCCESSFULLY PULLED THE CHILDREN VERY FAR AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE, FOR FEAR OF THE FIRE SPREADING, AND MAYBE EVEN CAUSING AN EXPLOSION. HAD I THOUGHT ABOUT MY ACTIONS RATHER THAN REACTING BY INSTINCT, I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE AS WELL. THE CAUSE? THERE ARE SEVERAL CONNECT
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TIRE POPPED. THE NOISE WAS AS LOUD AS A GUN SHOT. THE TIRE PULLED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT SIDE. SHE HIT ANOTHER CAR AS A RESULT. *AK
PASSENGER KNEELING ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FACING BACKWARDS, PASSENGER SLIPPED OFF THE SEAT AND HIT BY DEFECTIVE RAIL ON WHICH THE SEAT MOVES FORWARD. THE RAIL IS DANGEROUS THERE SHOULD BE A COVERING OVER THE CUT OFF METAL. YH
CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLSION IN WHICH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, CAUSING BURNS TO DRIVER'S FACE AND ARMS. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
DUE TO A BAD FUEL PUMP VEHICLE WAS NOT RECEIVING THE PROPER FEED OF FUEL TO THE CARBURETOR, CAUSING VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED.*AK STARTER FAILED. *YH
THE POWER OPERATED PASSENGER SIDE DOOR REVERSES WHEN STRIKING AN OBJECT DURING FORWARD TRAVEL, BUT CANNOT CHANGE DIRECTION WHILE REVERSING, THE GAP AT THE BASE OF THE DOOR IS LARGE ENOUGH FOR A CHILD TO SLIP INTO. NLM
THE CHEVROLET VENTURE PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR HAS A GAP AT THE BASE LARGE ENOUGH TO TRAP A CHILD. THE DOOR DOES NOT STOP WHILE REVERSING AND THE RESULT OF THIS CAN BE SEEN AT HTTP://WWW.THECARPLACE.COM/VENTURE.HTM PLEASE, PLEASE GO SEE THIS VIDEO -- THIRD ON THE PAGE. I TEST VEHICLES AND HAVE NO FURTHER INTEREST IN THIS ONE. BUT THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT WARRANTS SOME ACTION. I LOOK FORWARD TO TESTING OTHER POWER SLIDING DOORS ON MINIVANS. *AK
CONSUMER HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION. NEXT DAY, VEHICLE WOULD STAY ON AS RUNNING. DEALER STATED THAT FUEL PUMP FAILED. THEN, CONSUMER DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS SAND INSIDE OF VEHICLE. *AK
DESIGN OF SEATBELT ATTACHED DOESN'T ALLOW PROPER ATTACHMENT OF CHILD CARSEAT -UNSAFE!*AK
THE INTEGRATED CHILD SAFETY SEATS IN MY NEW 2000 CHEVY VENTURE DON'T ADEQUATELY PROTECT MY CHILDREN (AGES 22 MONTHS AND 40 MONTHS). THE KIDS ARE ABLE TO SLIDE DOWN THE CLASP THAT HOLDS THE CHEST STRAPS TOGETHER AND THEN SLIP THEIR ARMS OUT OF THEIR BELTS. THE YONGER CHILD THEN ATTEMPS TO REACH THE POWER SLIDING DOOR AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALL OF THIS MAKES FOR A STRESSFUL CAR TRIPS. THE BUCKLES ARE TOO EASY TO OPERATE AND THERE IS NO MECHANISM TO KEEP THECLASP AT CHEST LEVEL WHERE IT BELONGS. ONCE THE KIDS SLIDE THEM DOWN TO THE CROTCH BUCKLE IT IS VERY EASY FOR THEM TO WIGGLE THEIR ARMS OUT OF THE BELTS. I'M WORRIED I'M GOING TO CRASH WHILE TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM TO PUT THEIR ARMS BACK IN THE STRAPS AND REBUCKLE THE CLASPS. I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I ASSUMED THE INTEGRATED SEATS WERE SAFE BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER PUT THEM IN THE VEHICLE BUT AS IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE VERY UNSAFE. I DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO GET INJURED WHILE SITTING IN A SEAT THAT WAS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THEM! *AK
ON THREE OCCASIONS VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL REMAINS ON. *AK *ML
ON THRREE OCCASIONS, THIS NEW VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY SURGED AND STALLED; TWICE DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS. I FEEL A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE HAPPENED I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE. LOCAL DEALER IS TOTALLY UANABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *AK

What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
