Two problems related to engine exhaust system have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Venture. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Chevrolet Venture based on all problems reported for the 2000 Venture.
We purchased this van from a local dealer about 5 months ago. It had just 40,000 miles on it. Since then we have had the oil changed twice and in between oil changes we have had to add over 6 quarts of oil. At 600 miles we had put in 2 quarts of oil. There is no sign of leaking and no sign of smoke from the exhaust. We purchased an extended warranty and will be taking it to the dealer, hopefully, next week.
As you can see the van has minimal mileage with multiple repairs. Reported directly via e-mail to Chevrolet. Also received a file number and sent copies of repairs directly to Chevrolet. The last e-mail was sent 5/23 because my van had a puddle of gasoline 2 ft wide and 1 1/2 ft long underneath it. Could have taken out children, home and van itself. Dealer claims it is a faulty gas tank. Will be replacing with new. Vehicle lives at dealer. Not enough space to tell the "legend of the lemon".
