| I have owned this van for 28 months with multiple mechanical failures. 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. the car overheated and could not be driven all three times, in a two week period. this required a new water pump on the first visit, a new thermostat 8 days later and new hoses 1 day after that. *jb | |||

| The front windshield is leaking. it is caused by not having stops in place that keeps the windshield from sliding out of place from top to bottom. we found that we had leak during a rain storm. i had another cars windshield replaced and asked the replacement company to reseal the windshield on my chevy venture. they stated to me that it was a known defect by chevy and they would not reseal it because the windshield will slide out of place again causing a leak or worse during an accident. my work as paramedic i have seen windshield displace , inward and outward. does somebody have to be hurt or death caused before a recall takes place ? if chevy knows that this ia a problem why not fix it ? *jb | |||

| Windshield wipers are inadequate in cold weather. the windshield wipers both swing into the middle of the windshield. if in the off position one sits under the other. both wipers are hidden under the hood. it makes it impossible to clean the snow and ice that accumulates on them. also, blades when in their off position appear not to get any value from defroster heat. thus, rubber blade is cold and stiff. *ak | |||
