general problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Venture

Faulty brakes due to vehicle holding moisture 2001 Chevrolet Venture.

While driving 20 mph then stopping at a red light there was a popping noise. The consumer thought there was a flat tire on the left front. Consumer pulled to the side of the road. Upon inspection he saw that the engine had dropped and was hanging from underneath the vehicle about 2 inches from the ground. Had the vehicle towed to gm dealer for repairs. Basically, the bolts that held the engine mount broke. The dealer suggested someone had done this to the vehicle because the engine completely broke off. The consumer kept vehicle garaged. The repairs were done at consumer's expense. Gm offered no financial assistance or coverage.

July 16, 2005 I was driving my 2001 Chevrolet Venture along my local street smithtown NY when I heard a extremely loud bang. With great difficulty I pulled my car over and contacted my husband. When he opened the hood the engine had fallen out of the vehicle. Upon towing the vehicle to a licensed gm mechanic I learned that the cv knuckle and the rack and pinion steering system snapped when the engine fell. Upon contacting gm/Chevrolet customer service they offered to pay fifty percent of the repair costs, I feel this is unacceptable and they should pay one hundred percent of my repair costs. This vehicle is accident free. An engine should not fall out of a four year old car.

The top front window seal cracked, which caused water to leak inside the vehicle.

Have returned the vehicle 3 times, for water accumulating in the driver floor board soaking rug during rains, causing a hazard, ie. Foot slipping from the break petal due to the water, plus mildew odor. Current rain, today( 3-15-03) problem still exists, will be returning vehicle (3-17-03) to dealer to fix the problem, 4th time. Very upset. Fyi, dealer claims to have replaced 3 seals and state problem fixed. Untrue, please help. What should we do?.

Vehicle has an oning electrical problem that caused the automatic door locks and control panel cluster to malfunction. The vehicle has also stalled without warning. This could possibly be caused by water leaking into the vehicle through the luggage rack where it connects to the vehicle per a service dealer.
