Consumer Description

MY 1999 CHEVROLET VENTURE VAN EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE INTAKE GASKETS LEAKING AND THUS CAUSING THE CAMSHAFT TO SNAP IN TWO WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 40 MPH. THIS CAUSED A IMMEDIATE ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. HAD THERE BEEN ANYONE BEHIND ME, I WOULD MOST CERTAINLY BEEN INJURED, AS WOULD ANYONE WHO WOULD BE SITTING BEHIND ME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ACCORDINGLY. TS
