The Chevy Venture fails to maintain fuel levels at appropriate intervals. This constitutes frequent stops and panicking over when and where to get the next tank of gas, resulting in loss of income and causing wide spread hunger.

Venture 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 47,300 miles
Coolant loss, and temperature problems led me to mechanic, assuming it was a thermostat. He traced problem to leaking intake gaskets. Vehicle only has 47,000 miles on it! cost $532 for 6+ hour job to replace faulty intake gaskets. GM should have issued a recall for this; they obviously know about their faulty gaskets, because the set now offered is a "new and improved set".
