Consumer Description

LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON - SLIGHT ENGINE TAPPING AT STARTUP. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE IS SHOT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DOING OUR OWN RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF 1997-2000 VENTURE VANS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TAPPING AND ENGINE FAILURE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION STARTED TO CONFIRM OF DENY THAT THE 3400 V6 ENGINE IS DEFECTIVE. CHEVROLET REP. QUICKLY AGREED TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT SUSPICIOUS.*AK
