VERLAND IS AN ICF/MR FACILITY IN SEWICKLEY PA. WE USE OUR VEHICLES DAILY TO TRANSPORT OUR CLIENTS TO THEIR PROGRAMS, DR'S. APPTS, ETC. WE PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVROLET VENTURE MINI VAN IN NOVEMBER 2001. THE SAME VAN HAS HAD 3 INSTANCES WHERE THE WHEEL STUDS HAVE BROKEN AND THE FRONT TIRE HAS COME LOOSE. OUR STAFF HAS NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND GOTTEN OFF OF THE ROAD BEFORE ANY ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED. WE HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AS WELL AS THE SELLING DEALER AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VAN AND THEY HAVE PUT THE BLAME ON US. THE LATEST FAILURE WAS ON 12/10/02 AND A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED TO TOW THE VAN TO A CHEVROLET DEALER. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COMMENTED THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM OCCUR ON ANY VEHICLE, LET ALONE A NEW VAN, AND HE WAS AN IMPARTIAL OBSERVER TO THE PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED BY THIS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THAT THE PROBLEM WOULDN'T BE COVERED BY CHEVROLET AND THE COST WAS $401.32. THIS VAN HAS 23,000 MILES AND SHOULD STILL BE COVERED UNDER THE "BUMPER TO BUMPER" WARRANTY. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT TO HAVE THE VAN REPAIRED. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT WE HAVE HAD NO INJURIES TO OUR STAFF OR CLIENTS AS WELL AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC YET. ANY HELP YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

PUT SHIFT TO PARK. EXITED VEHICLE. VEHICLE STARTED MOVING IN REVERSE. DRIVER'S DOOR WAS OPEN - RIPPED OF BY GARAGE. FINALLY JUMPED BACK INTO VEHICLE AFTER IT WENT DOWN DRIVEWAY, ACROSS STREET, & INTO NEIGHBOR'S YARD, STOPPED VEHICLE. LOOKED AT GEAR INDICATOR - STILL READ PARK.*AK

ORIGINAL DOT TIRE # WAS ON TIRES THE DEALER REPLACED AND WE PAID FOR. ON BOTH OCCASIONSI WAS GOING SLOW WHEN I HEARD NOISE OF A TIRE GOING FLAT. I HAVE BAG THE DEALER GAVE TO MY HUSBAND THAT CONTAINS A PORTION OF TIRE FRAGMENTS AND DEBRIS LIKE IT JUST PEELED OFF. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND THESE WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW AND NOT ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE WAS A PUNCTURE ON BOTH TIRES BUT THIS COULD ALSO BE FROM THE SEPARATION OF THE TREAD OR DRIVING ON IT TIL I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD INTO A SAFE PLACE. I WOULD BE GLAD TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE DEBRIS FROM THE 2ND FLAT/BLOW-OUT . I HAD NO TROUBLE LIKE THIS WITH MY 1ST CHEVY VENTURE AND BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE HAD MANY MORE MILES ON THEM--NOW I WONDER IF THE OTHER 2 ARE GOING TO GO ALSO. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY ABS BRAKING LIGHT AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.

WHEN HE PULLED ON THE HANDLE TO CLOSE THE HATCH, THE PLASTIC HOUSING BROKE AND THE HANDLE CAME LOOSE, THERE IS A METAL BOLD THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE PLASTIC, THAT PIECE CUT THE CUSTOMERS HAND RIGHT HAND, BETWEEN HIS THUMB AND INDEX FINGER. HIS WOUND WAS CLEANED BY THE FIRST AID AT THE AIRPORT AND THEN WE TRANSPORTED HIM TO DEL SOL MEDICAL CENTER WHERE HIS WOUND WAS SEALED WITH MEDICAL "GLUE" INSTEAD OF STITCHES AND HE RECEIVED A TETANUS SHOT. *AK

THE REAR HANDLE ON THE REAR HATCH BROKE, THE PLASTIC HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE HANDLE BROKE, LIKE IF THE PLASTIC IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE FORCES EXERTED ON THE HANDLE.
