My wife took her Chevrolet van in for service due to the interior light not functioning it was taken to mahoney Chevrolet and blossom chervrolet. They told her it was corrosion causing the problem and did nothing to repair the problem as they said it was not covered. I being a certified mechanic and having an associates degree in electronics trouble shot the problem and found the body control module to be the cause of the problem. The module also caused the power windows,door locks,remotes and all other interior things to fail. I feel this is a very serious safety issue as there are millions of these vans on the road and these modules fail on this and all other models of this van such as the pontiac etc. . . In a panic situation such as an accident the driver would have to manually operate the locks or smash out a window if they were able to do so if there were a fire and it was urgent to get out of the van many may panic and not be able to get out. I contacted gm over this issue and they appeared to agree with me and gave me a service # of 71-1331263820. I have sent them numerous e-mails and phone calls but have gotten no response. I feel this is the same old gm and they wont repair an obvious defect unless ordered to or if there are deaths from the problem. I am hoping contacting you will force them to do the right thing and repair this problem before someone does die because they cant get out of their van or the module catches fire from an overheated chip that controls this module. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

My 2001 Chevrolet Venture caught fire while in my garage. It burned to a total loss. It also caused a measure of smoke damage to my garage. The vehicle had 54,000 miles on it. The situation was extremely dangerous, as it could have caught my garage or even my home on fire. There were absolutely no warnings or indications that anything was wrong prior to the incident. It seems to be quite a defect.

Air conditioner condenser failed, gm new of the problem in December, 2002, but kept their mouth shut until the warranty expired. The gas gauge does not work, it flips from full to empty, I have to keep a mileage notebook in order to know when to fill up. My warning light on the dash continues to flash "rear hatch ajar, side door ajar, low brake fluid. " there is nothing wrong with any of the items. The front brakes went bad at 32,000, requiring new pads and rotors. The window button on the driver side will put the passenger window down, but not up. The rear window washer does not work. I am so glad that gm is going bankrupt. I bought an american car, to try and help the workers stay employed, but now realize that all I did was to keep some overpaid, lazy slobs on the job for much longer than they should have been employed. The dealer has been a complete loss, with gm customer service having the attitude that, "since the warranty has expired, you can stick it, because we don't care.

I have had numerous problems with this vehicle. Most recently, my wife used the remote to lock the door, not knowing I had not made an exit. I attempted to unlock the door from the inside and it would not unlock, I had to wait until my wife came out of the store and uses the remote to unlock the doors. While this may sound humurous, imagine if this were to happen on a hot summer's day with children inside the vehicle.

Electrical system, air conditioning unit, lock on back hatch, the power slider, and the front and passenger windows have a hard time rolling up or down when it is cold outside, even though car was parked inside garage all night. The air conditioning unit stopped blowing cold air just about 6 months after we got it. The lock on the back end was stuck in the locked positioned and would not disengage. And the electrical system is all messed up in the back end. Taillights want to work when there not supposed to and the same with the reverse lights. Lights brighter then others on one side then the other, then a few minutes later it will be the other why around. Alot has to do with when I push on the brake pedal if the turn signals are going to work or not. And the power slider was already recalled on the van. The rear brakes on the van are sticking. Example: when you stop for a second and then release the brakes it will make a loud noise like it was stuck and then had to force itself to release. Not sure where to start on this process to get everything fixed.

Power sliding door buzzer sometimes sounds although the doors are closed. I have to disable the powerswitch and slam the door to continue.
