Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 1999 CHEVY VENTURE MINIVAN WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT. WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WITH IT. AFTER MANY TRIPS TO THE MECHANIC, WE FINALLY FOUND THE MAIN ISSUE CAUSING THE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. A LEAK IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE ENGINE OIL. THE GM PART IS PLASTIC. IT IS A SMALL PART, BUT TAKES 7.5 HOURS TO FIX, SO THE AVERAGE COST TO FIX IT IS $800!!. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART USED BY GM. THERE IS A PETITION WITH OVER 9,000 SIGNATURES!! ITS TIME FOR GM TO RECALL THE PART AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS USUALLY FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN RIDING IN THESE GM MINIVANS. *NM
