| A major gasoline leak was caused by corrosion of the high-pressure fuel line along the underbody of my 1999 chevrolet venture mini-van (mileage 80k). i lost about 10 gallons of gas in going about 30 miles, and maybe was lucky not to have suffered a fire or explosion. the chevy dealer, in grass lake michigan, replaced the fuel line for $602. including labor. i have saved all of the old parts.*ak | |||

| About one month after installation, replacement fuel filter started leaking. my wife noticed gasoline smell in garage but didn't take any action and pulled out of the garage and started to her destination. about 3 miles into her trip, she ran out of gas. tow truck driver discovered leaky fuel filter located under the car, just under the driver's seat. evidently when car was running gasoline was being sprayed on to the ground, as evidenced by discolored strip on my driveway, about 18 inches wide. car was towed to dealership, which claimed replacement part was defective. called gm customer service to get explanation for why part failed, but they were unable to provide any help. i feel that this failure represented the most serious type of safety problem. the vehicle could have caught fire at any time, especially with gasoline being sprayed under relatively high pressure by the rear fuel pump. this type of failure should never occur. gm was unwilling to provide my any type of feedback other than i should trust them, that they would investigate this failure and that it should never happen again. given the potential risk from this failure, i felt their response was totally inadequate. *ak | |||

| I have a 1999 chevy venture. i have had nothing but problems with the injectors causing the check engine light to come on. this happens every couple of months. i also have a problem with the intake on the same vehicle. it is the 3.4 engine and there are a lot of people with the same problem. i feel that a recall needs to be required to fix this. after spending thousands of dollars on a vehicle is should be right or at least fixed on good faith. *la | |||

| This will be a list of most of the problems. i have complained of smelling anti-freeze since i purchased the van new. it currently has 94k on it and i have done all scheduled maintenance on it. i think the clock work oil changes is the only reason it still runs. manifold gaskets, intake, head...have been replaced twice and need it again, really bad. but i just do not have 5-800 bucks laying around to do a gasket job again since i just did it a year ago. the anti-freeze diluting the oil has messed up a couple pistons. they slap very bad ok here is my list (i have dealer invoices for everything fixed the first time and receipts for parts and labor the second time, or my husband got sick of paying for the same crap so he would fix things) (he is in the automotive testing and design field) *jb | |||
