2002 Chevrolet Venture Brakes Problems

“On the way to taking my son to work, I noticed a loud buzzing sound coming from the rear passenger side of my 2002 chevy Venture van. Upon checking the dashboard for a warning signal, there weren't any warning light's displayed.I just recently had rear brake work done and I'm not sure if that is the problem. Also, I have been noticing a loud pitched whistling sound that starts at about 20 MPH and stops at about 45 MPH. There is a rattling noise that accompanies the whistling sound when the car is in acceleration.”

“Last year I took my Venture into the dealer to have it looked over because the check engine light was on, all of a sudden I had 3 lights on. I had no traction control or ABS. After having the service dept. Look at my vehicle, I was told it was a sensor in the left rear wheel. Since I have discovered that other owners have had similar problems, I think GM should get involved. The part was extremely expensive so I've had to go without for the last year.”

“Constant problems with ABS/awd system. This van has been at the dealer 13 times and going to be 14 soon for the same issues. In only 18 months. Hubs have been replaced both on my ownership and prior to my ownership. Wiring harnesses have been repaired and the problem remains. Now just driving the ABS computer activates, as well as now when you stop the computer keep activating for about 3 seconds after complete stop. Gm has been notifyed and can not respond for 6 days. …”

“We own a 2002 chevy Venture. The hub sensors have failed and had to be replaced three times since we have purchased the vehicle. The nhsta just issued a recall-05v379000- for GM SUV's and trucks with the same problem. Are you going to include the chevy Venture. When the ABS sensors fail our rotors have to be replaced and our brakes fail withen a short time of the failure of the sensor. I have tried to negotiate with GM and the dealer to take the vehicle back but to no avail.”

“Air conditioner condenser failed, GM new of the problem in december, 2002, but kept their mouth shut until the warranty expired. The gas gauge does not work, it flips from full to empty, I have to keep a mileage notebook in order to know when to fill up. My warning light on the dash continues to flash rear hatch ajar, side door ajar, low brake fluid. There is nothing wrong with any of the items. The front brakes went bad at 32,000, requiring new pads and rotors. The window button on the driver side will put the passenger window down, but not up. The rear window washer does not work. …”
