NHTSA Complaint #10070355 — 2000 CHEVROLET VENTURE

ENGINE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK'S COOLANT MY 2000 VENTURE LOST COOLANT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND BEGAN TO RUN HOT. AT THE TIME IT HAD BETWEEN 55,000 AND 60,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO HAD SEEN THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, AND HE REPAIRED IT AT A COST OF ABOUT 600.00. I HAVE THE RECEIPT IF YOU NEED A COPY. HE REPLACED BOTH MANIFOLD GASKETS AND THE THERMOSTAT. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU CAN GET GM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFAULT. I UNDERSTAND IT IS VERY COMMON IN THESE ENGINES.
