Venture 6-cyl

Without warning, my 2002 Chevy Venture van's A/C stopped working -- a.C. specialist determined that not only did the compressor stop working, it somehow had exploded and sent freon and metal shards causing additional damage and highter costs -- this was in June a couple of weeks before vacation - what could we do but pay the almost $2,000 costs (a lot of labor!). an A/C compressor going when it's only 4 years old? what a defective part! soon after this incident, the fuel gauge stopped working - can't afford another pricey repair, so we've been tracking mileage with the trip odometer to tell us when it's time to refill. This car doesn't hold a candle to my old 1990 lumina van that last to over 200,000 miles! very disappointed with chev -- don't know if I'll ever buy american again!!!
