Consumer Description

MY 2000 VENTURE WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE NOSE DOWN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. AFTER ABOUT ONE HOUR SOMEONE SMELLED GAS. WE FOUND GAS STREAMING OUT FROM UNDER THE VAN. THERE WAS NO GAS IN MY GARAGE AND I DID NOT HIT ANY OBJECTS ON THE WAY. I HAD THE VAN TOWED TO THE DEALER. MUST REPLACE ENTIRE GAS TANK BECAUSE 'CHECK VALVE INSIDE TANK WENT BAD'. COST $1100. THIS POOR DESIGN MAKES US HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TANK FOR ONE VALVE. NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. GM WON'T HELP PAY FOR REPAIR.
