2004 Chevrolet Venture

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET VENTURE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WHEN IT DID START THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND FUEL FUMES WERE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. ALTHOUGH THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUED TO SHAKE AND FUMES WERE COMING THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONER VENTS. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER TO REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,888. UPDATED 09/19/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. UPDATED 11/02/11

I HAVE HAD 2 VENTURE VANS THEY BOTH HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE STUCK UP,THEY WORK JUST WHEN YOU TURN THEM OFF THEY STAY UP. ALSO THE GAS LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. IT STAYS ON FULL THEN OUT OF NO WERE YOU ARE ON EMPTY. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS YOU. I HAD A 2001 CHEVY VENTURE AND NOW I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY VENTURE VAN I REALLY THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET VENTURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY. THE STRUTS WERE WELDED AND LINED UP INCORRECTLY IN ORDER FOR THE WIPER ASSEMBLY TO BE REINSTALLED. THE WIPERS HAVE NOT WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE WIPERS ARE NEEDED DURING THE RAIN IN ORDER FOR HIM TO SEE CLEARLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 80,000.

I BOUGHT MY VAN USED BUT NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD A DEFECT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. IF YOU SIT IN PASSENGER SIT THE VIEW IS DISTORTED. I TOOK MY VAN TO AN AUTO GLASS COMPANY TO SEE WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS WRONG WITH THE WINDOW AND IF POSSIBLE HOW TO FIX IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A DEFECT INSIDE THE GLASS AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD.. I WILL NOT PAY FOR A NEW WINDSHIELD BECAUSE IT IS A DEFECT IN THE GLASS AND IS IN WAY MY FAULT. ACCORDING TO THE AUTO GLASS SPECIALIST IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND I WAS TO NOTIFY CHEVY. I NOTIFIED THEM IN 2006 ABOUT THIS AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE THEN. I HAVE TIRED CALLING NUMEROUS TIMES, ALL THEY TELL ME IS TO GIVE THEM THE INFORMATION AND SOMEONE WILL CALL ME BACK BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL BACK IN 2 YEARS. *TR

WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2004 CHEVY VENTURE I LOVED IT, UNTIL MY PASSENGER WAS IN THE CAR AND TOLD ME ABOUT SOMETHING BEING ON THE WINDSHIELD.. AFTER TAKING IT TO A FEW GLASS COMPANY'S I WAS TOLD ITS A DEFECT IN THE GLASS IT SELF AND THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS THE ORIGINAL. I CONTACT CHEVY AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. IT HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS SINCE THEN AND NOTHING.. THE WINDSHIELD IS STILL IN MY CAR AND GETS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE I AM DRINVING.. I WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE BUT I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S MISTAKE. *TR

STARED HEARING A NOISE BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2005. DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE NOISE OR WHAT IT WAS UNTIL LAST WEEK. LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED THE WINDOW VIBRATING. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION SAW THAT THE WINDOW MOLDING WAS NOT ATTACHED AND CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD CHARGE ME TO REPLACE MOLDING. TODAY I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW STARTING TO MAKE A NOISE. HAVEN'T HAD THIS CAR TWO YEARS YET AND ONLY 40,000 MILES JUST THINK THAT IT IS WRONG FOR THEM TO NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR OVER FIFTY MILES PER HOUR IN FEAR THAT THE WINDOW WILL FLY OUT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM? *JB
