This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have owned 3 Chevy Venture minivans over the past 10 years. All of them had the same problems, the signal and head lights go out, the window switch goes out and finally the head gasket goes. They run great until the day it starts overheating, then your out a vehicle. Everyone I know who has a Venture has had at least one of these problems with their vehicle.
The seat belts did not work, they were defective. Took vehicle to the dealer three times, but they wanted consumer to pay for it. Consumer felt that manufacturer should be responsible for the repairs. Also, the sliding door motor on 1997 Chevrolet Venture is defective. Consumer paid for repairs 3 different times, but it kept breaking. Passenger side window switch failed. Wiper module shorted out. The vehicle ABS light illuminated. The dealer found a bad connection at the ebcm. Also found both traction bulbs were missing.
The paint has peeled off and yet GM Canada claims no problem and refuses to hear our complaint let alone acknowledge it yet we can see for ourselves on this site the U.S. acknowledgement! the floorboard cracked under the driver's seat and it's been a day and we have yet to hear from our local retailer!
Two months ago I took my Chevrolet Venture(with 53,000 miles)to a certified Chevrolet repair shop complaing that the low coolant light was on, and that my van was experiencing a loss of power. After having my car in the shop for 8 days I was told that they couldn't find any problems. I was charged $153 for the diagnostic test and an oil change. A week ago my car started to overheat. I again took the van to the shop. I was told that I need a brand new engine at a cost of $5,000. I just finished paying off this $27,000 van. Now it is worthless. I don, T understand. To add insult to injury I can not role up my window on the drivers side, as the power switch has failed
All power windows and doors will not unlock, trapping the occupants inside vehicle. Power windows or doors cannot be manually operated. Cause unknown. Vehicle taken to dealer multiple times, but problem still exists.
