Consumer Description

MY CHEVROLET 1997 VENTURE SUDDENLY OVERHEATED ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND THE VAN DIED. WHEN I DID GET HOME I LET IT SET AND NOTICED THE COOLANT WAS LOW, WHICH IT WAS NEVER BEFORE. CHECK IF OFTEN AS PER THE MANUAL. HAD IT TOWED TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND NOW THE GASKETS ARE RUINED AND THE HEADS ARE WORPED DUE TO THE ENGINE GETTING SO HOT!!! THERE IS OIL IN THE COOLANT!! $1,200.00 IN REPAIRS WHICH WE DON'T HAVE!! GM WILL DO NOTHING. HAVE ONLY HAD THE VAN FOR 1 YEAR. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IT JUST HAPPENED SUDDENLY!! *AK
