“I was driving and notice the van slowing down on me and then it stopped suddenly. I took it to a mechanic and was told it needed gas. Two weeks after I notice the odometer would jump from empty to full back and forth. Then I notice whenever I try to fill it up with gas it would not take more than $5.00 worth.”

NHTSA complaint #10386072, filed 2011-03, 218,000 miles

“The gas gauge stopped working, went from full to empty in about 3 seconds. Chevy refused to help. I have carried a notebook in the vehicle since that time, writing down the date, place of purchase, mileage, total cost, cost per gallon, and how many gallons. This is to make sure I don't run dry, since the idiot going goes off whenever it pleases. (car was purchased new, from paramus Chevrolet in october, 2001).”

NHTSA complaint #10461997, filed 2012-06, 57,500 miles

“Leak in gas tank where filler neck goes into tank. Reference NHTSA recall # 07v349000. Gm and local dealer has told me my vehicle does not qualify for recall because my van is long wheelbase and recall is for short wheelbase. The fracture in the tank is in the same location as from the recall for short wheelbase Chevrolet ventures.”

NHTSA complaint #10232373, filed 2008-06, 51,000 miles

“Icv (in line check valve) housing on fuel tank has started cracking and leaking fuel. Chevrolet says this unit is not affected by recall 07v349000. It appears to be the same as my other Venture we had the recall performed on leaking at same spot. This is a fire hazard and GM should repair this on all Venture vans. I have run across hundreds of people in discussion with same issue and not within GM's VIN breaks. I think GM needs to look at this again. I have pictures to prove what is going on.”
