1999 Chevrolet Venture review from North America
"Don't buy!!! beware!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake gasket 2 times
Battery when brand new less than 2000 miles on vehicle
Seat Belts to short (go Figure I weigh 150 pounds)
Transmission hard shift
Fuel pump
ABS motor controll pak
Outer tie rod ends 28,000
Lower controll arms and Bushings 2 X
turn lights fill up with water keep burning out bulbs
Transmission makes noise when its cold since about 30,000,dealer said it was change that had dropped down into dash... LOL what a joke.
General comments?
This thing has been a piece of crap since we bought it, fortunately for me most of the repairs have been done under warrany and I did not include everything in the list, Approx cost of the warranty repairs have been around $8,000 dollars (yes I said 8 thousand)
I would tell anyone to never buy this vehicle unless GM gives it a lifetime warranty. The real kicker of it all is that my dad retired from GM and I am totally ashamed of the fact they have built such a piece of crap, I will never buy another GM product. or never untill they can prove to me that they can start making a car as good as the japanese... SHAME ON YOU GM... Its really too bad they don't read these things because I would love to give them a big piece of my mind..
