NHTSA Complaint #10058295 — 2000 CHEVROLET VENTURE

2000 CHEVY VENTURE V6 47000MILES. I RECENTLY HAD LEAKING INTACK MANIFOLD GASKET REPAIRED AT DEALER ($700). APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS THE GM PRODUCT LINE WITH THIS ENGINE. I CONTACTED CORPORATE GM COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT BUT THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VAN HAS BEEN IN SHOP ONCE EACH YEAR FOR LOW COOLANT INDICATION. HAD TEMP SWITCH CHANGED TWICE. LAST YEAR I NOTICE SLUDGE ON OIL FILLER CAP INDICATING MOISTURE IN OIL BUT DEALER DID NOT THINK IT WAS A PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A COMMON AND SERIOUS PROBLEM GM SHOULD BE MADE TO RECOGNIZE AND COMPENSATE IT'S CUSTOMERS FOR.*AK
