At 108,000 the motor locked up.
Transmission went out at same time.
I have never had a problem with my venture until now.
It has a lot of room inside.
Very comfortable to drive and ride in.
I, too, have a 1997 Chevrolet Venture with just over 100,000 miles (about 105,000 but not sure, since it is at my mechanics). The engine went out and left me stranded along the road as well. It had 40,000 on it when we purchased it, and has been serviced & maintained above and beyond manufacturer's recommendations. My complaint is that its value is only about $4000 and it is going to cost me $2000 to replace the engine (with a USED one!). I still owe on it, to boot. I have always felt Chevrolet made excellent vehicles, but this one makes me wonder. Is there no recourse? I can't even seem to find someone to get it off my hands. If there are a number of people with the same year vehicle and the same problems, shouldn't Chevrolet be looking into this as a recall situation?
From personal experience be glad you own one of these instead of a Chrysler product or you would really be in trouble.
