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.
Gas gauge does not accurately reflect fuel. It jumps wildly at times from full to empty and back to full. It often shows 3/4 of a tank when it is actually near empty. I had to begin tracking my mileage to ensure I do not run out of gas. Gas light goes on and off but usually coincides with an empty reading. And this is not covered under any warranty. When this started happening I ran out of gas with 2 small children in the car in winter due to gauge said 1/2 tank...
The speedometer started acting sporadic not registering speed accurately then stopped working all together also the gas gauge does not register at all since the problem began.the low fuel light does operate as of right now.I have read that alot of Venture owners have this problem it is avery expensive repair 500 just for the parts.
Our mechanic found that the fuel tank was leaking and that there is a recall for that part. We took it to the dealer and the dealer stated that there is no recall for our van. The dealer was. The NHTSA action number is ea 07006. We called GM and left two messages for a representative named. Please require the dealer to honor the recall.

Where the rubber gas tank fill hose attaches to the gas tank, at the check valve, it has fractured and broken off the gas tank so that now when attempting to add fuel to the vehicle it leak out all over the exterior of the tank.
