1997 Chevrolet Venture Brakes Problems

“This is a follow up of acomplaint filed on 3/10/1997. After several conversations with chevy corp. They have advised me that they will offer no assistance in repairing my Venture. The dealership has advised me that repairs will cost a minimum of $2000. Add this to the $7500 that I still owe and I will owe $9500 on this van. I am amazed by the denial of chevy corp. With all of the complaints by consumers who have blown head gaskets from dex coolant. I am asking that someone please investigate this matter!! This should not have happened with only 75,000 miles on this van. …”

“Summer of 2003 ABS light came on and with depressing brake pedal, the pedal traveled to the floor with little or no braking action. Loud shutter and vibrations were felt from the wheels. Road conditions were dry. Service facility found faulty ABS sensor, cost $580.00. Now the problem has come back. Little or no braking with ABS light illuminating all the time.”

“Needs replaced frontend hubs ,tierod,pinion repairs/recall this van needs a new owner!!! Nothing but costly repairs chevy needs to recall all them ventures.”

“The intake manifold failed and needs to be replace, along with the water pump. In addition, there is a problem with the rear braking system causing the ABS and traction contol system not to work. Last month the transmission needed to be replaced.”

“From about 40000 milesproblems with the temp gauge indicating engine running hot when in fact it never was and coolant was adequate mechanic never able to figure out 60000 intake manifold replaced 90000 miles engine losing power and stalling engine block cracked possible and head gasket. Brakes noisy with a grinding feel in the pedal lights on dash on & off ABS and coolant low when no problem exists! Car pulls to left and hard to steer in a puddle horn almost impossible to activate. Directional and hazard lights flash when brakes applied.”
