IT MUST STAY IN THE OFF POSITION OR IT RUNS THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DOWN. ALSO THE SIDE DOOR GETS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION AND IT TAKES A LOT OF STRENGTH TO CLOSE IT. *TR

ICV (IN LINE CHECK VALVE) HOUSING ON FUEL TANK HAS STARTED CRACKING AND LEAKING FUEL. CHEVROLET SAYS THIS UNIT IS NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL 07V349000. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME AS MY OTHER VENTURE WE HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED ON LEAKING AT SAME SPOT. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND GM SHOULD REPAIR THIS ON ALL VENTURE VANS. I HAVE RUN ACROSS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN DISCUSSION WITH SAME ISSUE AND NOT WITHIN GM'S VIN BREAKS. I THINK GM NEEDS TO LOOK AT THIS AGAIN. I HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE WHAT IS GOING ON. *TR

ON THE WAY TO TAKING MY SON TO WORK, I NOTICED A LOUD BUZZING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2002 CHEVY VENTURE VAN. UPON CHECKING THE DASHBOARD FOR A WARNING SIGNAL, THERE WEREN'T ANY WARNING LIGHT'S DISPLAYED.I JUST RECENTLY HAD REAR BRAKE WORK DONE AND I'M NOT SURE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A LOUD PITCHED WHISTLING SOUND THAT STARTS AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND STOPS AT ABOUT 45 MPH. THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE THAT ACCOMPANIES THE WHISTLING SOUND WHEN THE CAR IS IN ACCELERATION. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND DISCOVERED THAT I COULDN'T FILL THE GAS TANK MORE THAN 1/3 OF THE WAY OR IT WOULD LEAK FROM A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC GAS TANK WHERE THE FILLER PIPE CONNECTS TO THE TANK. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM; HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2003/CHEVROLET/VENTURE/FUEL+TANK I TALKED TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. NOW WHAT? *TR
