Consumer Description

WHEN OUR VAN (2001 CHEVY VENTURE) REACHED ABOUT 75000 MILES, WE NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE ON THE GAUGE RISING. I CONTACTED OUR MECHANIC AND HE RECOMMENDED FLUSHING THE COOLING LINE AND CHANGING THE THERMOSTAT. I TOOK THE VAN IN AND HAD THE COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED AND THE THERMOSTAT CHANGED. AT THAT TIME HE NOTICED A COOLANT LEAK BELOW THE INTAKE. NOW THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED AND THE THERMOSTAT CHANGED I WAS HOPING TO NOT SEE A FLUCTUATION IN THE TEMPERATURE. I WAS WRONG, THE TEMPERATURE IS STILL FLUCTUATING AND NOW I NOTICE WHEN IT GETS HOT THE CAR SHIFTS VERY ROUGH. HE RECOMMENDED I CONTACT A GM DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT, DUE TO THE VENTURE VAN BEING KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY GM WOULD COVER THE COST. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL GM DEALER AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS WEEK. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND I HOPE THAT GM STEPS UP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK
