Defective intake manifold gasket repaired 4-times reply directly to the constituent. The dealer refused to repair the consumer's A/C until the manifold gasket was repaired. The vehicle transmission fluid burned and the PCV valve was gummed with dexcool. The serpentine was worn out.

Shortly after purchasing car, headlights filled with moisture causing lights to burn out. Dealership stated there were no replacements even made yet. At almost 100,000 miles engine died, power steering failed, belt slipped and ac went out within days of each other. 1800chevusa rep "jason" said "Chevy only builds their vehichles to last 100,000 miles". never again will I buy Chevy. Not after what jason said.

Venture

  • Automatic transmission

When driving and reaching a speed of 50mph or more the steering column shakes violently like it's going to separate from the steering box. Took in to dealer and they can not find anything wrong. Also the cruise control was inoperative, the A/C was not blowing cool air due to a leak from the compressor, there was a smell of raw eggs due to fuel injectors leaking, and the dome lights were inoperative, the left coat hoof fell out of roof.
