1997 Chevrolet Venture review from North America
"Horribly made, I will never buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission keeps messing up at around 50-55 MPH, it hesitates and the service engine light comes on especially when entering the highway.
We had to have the front hub assembly replaced and now we need a half shaft replace.
I also have a problem with the power locks, they will not work from any door or from the remote.
The van also stopped responding to the remote start, even after changing the battery.
General comments?
Transmission is horrible.
Power locks never work anymore.
Brakes always make a grinding noise, even though they are new.
