The contact stated airbag light illuminated intermittently, and the power door lock on the driver's side stopped working. He took the vehicle to an independent repair shop who performed a diagnostic test. No codes were found by the diagnostic test. Upon further inspection, condensed water from the air conditioning had leaked around the wiring and under the carpet on the front floor. The mechanic determined the water had shorted out the power door lock and affected the airbag wiring as well. The mechanic replaced the wire for the door lock assembly, however no repairs were made to the airbag wiring at that time. Updated 12/27/05.
I was pulling into my driveway when my spare tire fell off of its holder on the bottom of my 1999 chevy Venture van. The cable that holds it in place rotted away. I had someone tell me that they experienced a spare tire from a Venture coming at them on the highway. They barley avoided a serious accident! thank god mine didn't fall off on the highway!! I spoke to gm (customer care line) and they told me that this was normal wear and tear for the age of this vehicle and they would not cover it. Does someone have to be killed by this problem before something is done about it?.
Water accumulates in the right front passenger floor mat, then saturates the added floor mat (by osmossis ???). Fitsr occurred August 1998, then again several years later, and has occurred repeatedly (four times) in 2003 during a trip of about 1800 miles (round trip). The Chevrolet service department has advised that the a/c drain line was stopped up (and was reopened by the mechanic), but the drainage from the unit drain line can be seen dripping to the ground from the frame of the vehicle. (it appears to be draining onto the frame and dripping in two separate puddles from each side of the right frame, just in front of the fire wall. We bought this vehicle in November 1997, the first sign of a wet floor mat occurred in August of 1998. It occurred again in July 2002, then in June 2003 (when the drain line was again reopened), then during the 11 day trip (from June 30th through July 10th the wet floor mat situation returned. From 15jul03 through 25jul03 the Chevrolet service department attempted to locate the source of the water leak, and was unable to get the vehicle to leak !!! any ideas ?????.
Blown head gasket. . . . . . . . .
Electrical tail light assembly connector, both left and right are melting (ground lead only). All tail lights, stop lights, turn signals, etc. Are out. Looks like connector was undersized to handle required current for all lights.
