1998 Chevrolet Venture LS review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only had this car 1 Year and have replaced the alternator, ac broke, sensors have been replaced and now to top it off coolant has leaked into the engine and the engine is shot, the shop told me it is a common problem with these vans! intake valve breaks and coolant leaks into the engine, today I have traded it in and bought a japanese van, stay away from these, unless you like giving away money,
General comments?
Lots of problems with this van, Lots of space inside, but do your homework before buying, would think twice about buying another product from GM, lots of electrical problems and engine problems,
and I had no warranty, bought from GM dealer told was 1 owner and well looked after, I came back to dealer with the van was told these vans have long history of problems and should have bought the ext warranty! my advice stay away unless you like LEMONADE!
