2005 Chevrolet Venture Body and structure Problems

“My wife hit a old style van that had stopped for a dog crossing a the road. The whole front end had to be replaced. Hood, grill, lights, both fender had to be repaired, also the steal tube under the radiator frame had to be cut out and replaced. On 11/5/2010 I hit a deer going 30 MPH, again front end damage. Both times the air bags didn't deploy, and on star didn't respond. I asked two different Chevrolet dealers if the air bag sensor could be tested, answer was no.”

“Rear passenger automatic side door does not close, pops open when its suppose to latch shut. A child safety seat is beside the automatic door. Door opened while my 9 year old son was sitting beside door and the vehicle was in motion. Luckily I was only going about 15 miles and hour in a residential zone. Door was taken in to dealership for inspection, because vehicle is no longer under warranty, no step were taken to repair door due to financial restraints.”

“I have a 2005 chevy Venture. There's a bar that attaches my automatic sliding door to the van and makes the door open and close. When the door is closing, it causes a triangular gap between the door, van and bar. The automatic door has a sensor that if someone is in between the door and van, it will stop and open the door up. There is a piece of plastic on the floor where the carpet stops and before the metal side of the van begins. My cousin's daughter was sitting in the seat behind the drivers seat. …”

“The sliding doors want open and when it does, it is hard to close. The locks get stuck often on both doors; the automatic door & window control does not work. The over all quality is poor. Have air pockets and the driver seat is broken.”

“Power sliding doors don't have safety sensors on them, they will shut on whatever is in the way, they have left a bruise on me when I was standing in the way of the door. Younger children or even adults could be hurt or possibly killed in them.”
