Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY VENTURE VAN THAT EARLIER THIS SUMMER STARTED TO LOSE ENGINE COOLANT. WEB RESEARCH SHOWS MANY OTHER FAILS OF THIS TYPE ON THE CHEVY VENTURE VAN. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A COOLANT LEAK CHECK AND FOUND THE HEAD GASKET FAILED IN TWO PLACES. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM BUT GM REFUSES TO HELP, COST OF THE REPAIR WAS OVER $500. THE VEHICLE JUST CAME OUT OF WARRANTY THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM - DESIGN PROBLEM. WOULD LIKE A RECALL AND GM TO PAY FOR THEIR DESIGN PROBLEM. *NM
