Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A 1999 CHEVROLET VENTURE. WE BOUGHT IT AUGUST OF 2002. WITH IN THE FIRST MONTH MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED THE DEALER AND WE HAD TO HAVE THE SEAT BELT TENSION REPLACED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. ABOUT A YEAR LATER THE SAMETHING HAPPENS AGAIN THIS TIME ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. ABOUT A MONTH AGO OUR ANTIFREEZE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND SHUTTING OFF. WE NOTICE NO LEAKING ON THE GROUND HOWEVER THE ANTIFREEZE IS SLOWLY DISAPPEARING. WELL THIS WEEKEND MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VAN ON A TRIP AND COMES BACK THE NEXT DAY AND THE ENGINE IS MAKING A TICKING NOISE. WE FOUND OUT THAT THE ANTIFREEZE IS LEAKING INTO THE OIL CAUSING THE GASKET TO BE REPLACED AND THE HYDRAULIC LIFTS TO BE REPLACED. THIS COULD OF RESULTED IN THE ENGINE FREEZING UP. THIS HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY ANYTHING HAS NOT BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS NOT INJURED DOES NOT ALLOW THE COMPANY TO OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE A DEFECT WITH THIS YEAR OF VENTURES. *JB
