CHEVY DEALER NOT ABLE TO REPAIR VEHICLE THAT THEY BUILT IN 2000. IF YOU HAVE A 2000 CHEVY VENTURE YOU SHOULD HAVE THE CAR FUEL LINES NEAR THE ENGINE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED AND YOU SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET & GM TO INSIST THAT THE BUILD THE REPLACEMENT PARTS TO REPAIR THE CAR SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT INJURED. *TR

MY DAUGHTER NOTICED THAT SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO KEEP AIR IN ONE MASTERCRAFT A/S IV TIRES. AS WE LOOKED AT THE TIRE TOGETHER SHE HEARD AIR ESCAPING, AND WHEN WE TOUCHED THE AREA OF THE LEAK, THE LEAK GOT LOUDER. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FARM & FLEET (WHERE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED & INSTALLED AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE GOOD AT KEEPING UP WITH WARRANTIES) TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS "DRY ROT", AND I WOULD HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER BRAND AS THE MASTERCRAFT A/S IV HAVE BEEN "DISCONTINUED", AND I HAVE NO OTHER RECOURSE. I ASKED IF THEY OR I COULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD NO AS THE TIRES HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED AND ARE NO LONGER MANUFACTURED. FURTHER, I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY 25% OF THE TREAD REMAINS. THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED 9/08/08 & ONLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY, 20,806 MILES ON THEM, BUT THE MANUFACTURER RATES THEM AT 50,000 MILES. THE LOW MILES MAKES SENSE AS WE RARELY PUT ON MORE THAN 7K MILES ON ANY OF OUR VEHICLES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL OF THE TIRE(S). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET VENTURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY VENTURE. I BROUGHT IT USED IN 1998. SINCE HAVING IT I HAVE NO REAR WINDOW WIPER. HEAT AND A/C WORK ONLY WHEN PLACED ON HIGH AND WORK VERY LITTLE. DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW KEEPS FALLING AND WE HAVE REPLACED THE REGULATOR ON IT, AND OUR GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. I KNOW OF AT MINIMUM 5 PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME ISSUES. I AM AT A LOSS WHEN ALMOST WEEKLY WE HAVE TO TAKE DOOR PANEL OFF TO GET WINDOW BACK ON TRACK WHEN IT RAINS YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR MY CAR BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE AN EARFULL. LAST YEAR IN APRIL I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE A HEAD GASKET BECAUSE THAT BLEW. OH AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS IS JUST NUTS WITH ALL THE STUFF WE HAVE OUT THERE IN THE WORLD GM SHOULD KNOW HOW TO BUILD A GAS GAUGE. NOT HAVING HEAT IN THE WINTER ISN'T MUCH FUN EITHER. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY. WELL LETS START WITH THE GAS GAUGE THE OTHER STUFF IS MINOR COMPARED TO THE REST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET VENTURE. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE MOVED UP AND DOWN AND FAILED TO DISPLAY THE ACCURATE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN SHE ADDED GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY EMPTY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT THE FLOAT USED IN THE FUEL TANK TO READ GASOLINE LEVELS HAD FAILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILES WERE 85,000.

MY 2000 CHEVY VENTURE VAN HAD AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM WHEN THE COOLANT WAS FULL. I RESEARCHED ON GOOGLE AND FOUND THERE TO BE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC VAN PROBLEM ON THIS MAKE AND YEAR. IS THERE A RECALL OR ANY WAY THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED FOR NO CHARGE? THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS IT HAS SEEN THIS ON THIS VEHICLE AS WILL AND THE COST TO FIX THE CRACKED HEAD GASKET IS $1200.00 I APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN GIVE ME WITH THIS MATTER. I SIGNED UP FOR PRINTOUT OF RESEARCH BUT PLEASE DISREGARD AS THIS COMPLAINT FORM IS WHAT I NEEDED. THANKS. *TR
