2000 Chevrolet Venture LS Extended review from North America
"Not recommended!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front cup holders broke!
Rear seat jammed and could not fold or be removed anymore.
Unsolvable electrical problems at 117,000 miles.
The gas gauge never has worked and have run out of gas before because it was reading 3/4 tank and it was empty!!!
General comments?
All electrical!!! The battery started to die when the vehicle would sit more that 12 hours and we had to jump start it. Replaced the battery and still did the same thing. Replaced the alternator and still did the same thing. Sent to electrical mechanic and after 3 weeks there was still no answer. There is a short somewhere in the wiring system that no one is able to find. Because of this the radio works when it feels like it, and the power locks and windows act up all the time.
However, this van is so comfortable and it is so roomy! I love the van, I just hate the problems!
