My Chevrolet Venture 2001 transmission has gone out with only 61000 miles. There has been alreadry some recalls on this van. I believe this to be a factory fault.
This vehicle has been rolling back on hills since I bought it. Have had brake problems, the vcr replaced, the power side door looked at and told it has been fixed. Y biggest complaint is while driving to work, stopped at a stop light. My van rolled backwards when I took off the brake to go to the gas pedal. My whole transmission system stopped working. The vehicle had to be towed and while in the shop they found the intake manafold to be defective. Luckily I bought the extended warrenty. Total cost for this repair was $4,200. I could go on about the problems with this vehicle.
While my vehicle was parked and turned off, my 4 year old knocked it out of gear, come to find out that it goes from the parked status to the 1st gear without having to have key in or push the brake petal to take it out of gear it is free flowing, and very dangerous. I was very fortunately loading some groceries when it happened and with the assistance of a very nice person walking by, were able to get it back into park and no injuries accrued, I dread to think of what would have happened if one of my two young children would have been in my position, what the outcome could have been.
This has happened 4 times same problem, 1st time van was not running popped out of gear went down the road backwards and hit a home not much damage to either the house or the van. Not moving fast enough, the second time moved about a foot on level ground , 3rd time running in a flat driveway no one near drivers seat car went out of gear moved forward and hit a parked cars mirror, didn't damage the mirror but distroyed the fender on the van. , the 4th time went out of gear while parked no one in or near car. Didn't move because the emergancy brake was set. Is being investigated by general motors.
While transmission is on drive and going up a hill could take off foot from brakes to accelerator and vehicle will roll backward. But the same motion had happened when driving down a hill will roll foward when trying to reverse. Dealer was contacted, please provide more information.
