“The brake light on the drivers side constantly blows out.. We have replaced it numerous times, but it still blows. The base of the bulbs look melted on every one we have replaced. Now the turn signal on the driver's side goes crazy and blinks very fast at random. It can work right for 20 times and then go crazy the next time it is used..”
NHTSA complaint #10206970, filed 2007-10, 103,000 miles“I own a 2000 Chevrolet Venture and I am having problems with my brake light bulbs melting in the sockets. I replace them and they work for a while until they melt resulting in the bulb burning out. I know of several other people that own chevy ventures that also have this problem. I feel that this problem needs to be looked into before it results in a fire or an accident. Any help with this problem will be appreciated.”
NHTSA complaint #10163902, filed 2006-07, 70,000 miles“I was sitting in traffic at a dead stop,then when the traffic light changed to green I put my foot on the gas pedal. As soon as I did the accelerator pedal stuck,went all the way to the floor and caused me to hit the vehicle in front of me. Also my gas gauge didn't work and would randomly move back and forth,even if I had a full tank of gas. Then,the driver side brake light continued to go out due to the melting of the part of the bulb,not the bulb itself. My electric sliding door on passenger side came off the track due to the cord and pulley/motor in the door. …”

When we bought it, the button for the doors to open automatically didn't work as well as the gas gauge. Since, we have replaced the heads, the water pump, rack and pinion, wheel hub, tie rod end, as well as replacing the head lights every couple months and now having problems with the brake lights.when we had the heads replaced, they flushed the radiator and we are still having problems with the low coolant light coming on and the fluid looking cloudy. …”
NHTSA complaint #10365536, filed 2010-11, 120,000 miles“The drivers side sliding door came off the hinge at the back. The door will not close properly now, and can not be used. The brake light burns out everytime it is replaced and looks like it melts the base of the bulb and the socket looks like it has been melted also. The middle section, drivers side seat belt will not release.”
