Suspension--both tie rods in the front of the vehicle have had to be replaced--mechanic said that both times it was near catastrophic failure. Other--air conditioner condenser cracked due to design failure. 2002 service bulletin told that gm was aware of the problem but kept quiet until the warranty period was over, and then refused to help. Brakes--front brake pads have been replaced four (4) times, rotors have been replaced twice. The vehicle has 83,000 original miles. I am the original owner.
Vehicle was showing 'hot coolant temperature' and was taken to the mechanic for repairs. After just months the same problem returned.
Rear deferintial went out than front deferintial went out. I can not find a shop to fix front deferntial because they do not have the tools to take apart. A chevey dealership has made a suggestion that I replace the whole transmission. I have owned this van since Feb. 2006 and I've had to replce the air condishtion motor (about $950. 00) the rear deferintial (about $1400. 00) and now about an other $2000. 00 to put a used front deferintial. The air cond. Motor was new, the rear deferintial was used I could not afford to buy a new one it would have been $3500. 00. I beleive that I am paying for a lemon not a good working van. Please help me find out what I can do to have a recall on this van or if gm should be paying for replaceing these parts.
The condenser is cracked on my 2002 Chevrolet Ventures air conditioner. Chevrolet knew of this problem soon after we purchased the car, and yet has done nothing about it. They are about to lose their leading market share, due to shoddy customer service.
While traveling on the highway without prior warning the vehicle had shut down and had restarted after being placed in park. The dealer has been made aware of the problem. Ts the vehicle had cut off suddenly, usually at low speeds, and had lost power brakes and power steering. Scc.
Throttle to the accelerator locked in the fully open position. Van accelerated on the highway. Brakes started to fade badly, unable to hold the engine. Had my four young children in the van. Forced to shift into neutral and turn the engine off in the middle of rush hour traffic.
Consumer states while at highway speed the shut down causing lost of power steering. Please provide any additional information. Ts.
