general problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Venture

Car is losing coolant quickly, even though I have replaced the water pump about a month ago. Due to gm manufactuing, they only allow dex cool coolant for their vehicles but not everyone carries dex cool. Also, the oxygen sensor code need to be read oxygen sensor only and not with 4 or 5 other codes.

Please investigate incidents of failure of the gm passkey/passlock/vats security system. Security light would flash and vehicle experienced a total loss of power. Problem occurred intermittently for the next several months, at various speeds. No accidents involved, but several near misses. Problem occurred very frequently in the past week, and now vehicle will not start due to security feature. I am using factory original keys, not replacements. Problem affects this particular make and model, but it is so systemic to gm, an entire aftermarket industry has arisen to bypass this security "feature. ".

Fuel lines corroded, dangerous. Gasoline leaks. Sent to dealership for repairs. Notified that the parts are discontinued. This vehicle has been recalled for other fuel issues. Chevy dealer not able to repair vehicle that they built in 2000. If you have a 2000 chevy Venture you should have the car fuel lines near the engine inspected and repaired and you should contact Chevrolet & gm to insist that the build the replacement parts to repair the car so that people are not injured.
