“Problems with steering on 2003 Chevrolet Venture. The steering became loose. The service dealer found the pump pressure was below specifications and called GM. Gm recommended replacing the pump and gear assembly which was supposedly done. The problem did not improve the situation. Gm refused to help the consumer. Also during routine maintenance, a tire was found with a bulge.”

I have had the brakes replaced, the rack and pinion replaced twice, the tie rods on both sides, the power window motor on the passenger side, the glove box lock, the water pump, the thermostat twice, the engine seals , the coolant hoses and the power door handles. The power sliding door gasket has also come off on multiple occasions. The airbag light has now been on for 4 weeks. I have been stranded many times and without a vehicle on several occasions. The latest problem required three visits to the dealer to fix. …”
