"If I could swear I would. Very pathetic vehicle to say the least"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Everything went wrong with this vehicle. Engine coolant into engine, rust on vehicle (repaired under warranty) and now have rust again. Tires, changed brakes at 30 k (not covered under warranty). Hood latch unsafe. Wiper blade operation (stuck at top). Engine overheats when idle. Thunking noise all the time when vehicle is 3/4 full of gas. Feels like someone ran into the back of your vehicle (GM says this is normal for any vehicle). Interior lights flicker. Front lights flicker when vehicle is on. A-C and rad replaced at 30 K. Service is the worst I have ever experienced and GM will not call or reply to any requests. Absolutely the most pathetic vehicle I have ever owned.

General comments?

This vehicle is terrible and I would never recommend anyone buying.

GM knows of all the problems with this vehicle and they don't make them anymore. Wonder why. That is what GM does.

Quality of workmanship is terrible.

Service at dealership is pathetic and terrible.

GM overall is terrible.

First GM purchase and definitely the last. My minivan should have been painted Yellow. The problems and difficulties I have had with this vehicle are never ending. And by the way, its worth about 7 K now if I was wanting to sell. Nice job GM. You really know how to upset new GM vehicle owners. I will never ever ever buy another GM for myself or any family member and will let them know about my experience.

Ditto here.

I have a 2000 Venture, and many of the same problems you experienced, and other issues as well. Totally convinced me never to buy GM again, probably American for that matter.

I have dumped so much money into this vehicle, and had face to face heated discussions with service managers that think you were just born. Live and learn. BTW my wipers broke twice in 7 years!!
