DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVY VENTURE WITH 7 PASSENGER SEATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT WORKING . THE FUEL GAUGE WORKED ERRATICALLY. . ONE MINUTE IT WILL SHOW FULL AND THE NEXT EMPTY. ALSO HAVEDPROBLEMS WITH THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, THEY CORRECTED THAT PROBLEM. THE DASH CLUSTER, A/C PUMPS, AND THE A/C VALVE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEMS. YOU CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE A/C WILL BE COOLING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL BLOW OUT HOT AIR. BRAKES WERE MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE. THE VAN ONLY HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN DOING EVERYTHING THAT THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE IWAS TELLING HIM TO DO. THE SERVICE MANAGERFROM GM TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY TO FIX THE A/C AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER. ALSO, THERE WAS ANOTHER VAN WITH MORE MILES THAN HIS THAT HAD SAME PROBLEMS. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HIS VAN EVERY SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE WHICH WAS APRIL 29, 2005.*AK

ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12 2004, I ENTERED THE MIDDLE ROW OF MY SON-IN-LAW?S NEW 2005 CHEVROLET VENTURE. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC SLIDING REAR SIDE DOOR. AFTER I SAT DOWN AND CLOSED THE DOOR, IT SEEMED TO NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY. I PROCEEDED TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR AGAIN. AS THE DOOR STARTED TO OPEN, I TRIED CLOSING IT WITH THE DOOR HANDLE. HOWEVER, IT CONTINUED TO OPEN FULLY. BY THE TIME I REALIZED THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT GOING TO STOP, DESPITE MY CLOSING PRESSURE ON THE DOOR HANDLE, MY ARM HAD MOVED BACKWARDS AND BECAME LODGED AGAINST THE BACK OF MY SEAT. I WAS UNABLE TO RELEASE MY HAND FROM THE DOOR HANDLE, AND AS THE DOOR OPENED FURTHER, IT FRACTURED BOTH BONES IN MY ARM. *NM

HER ELBOW WAS PINNED AGAINST THE SEAT BACK AND HER WRIST AND THUMB WERE BROKEN. HER MIDDLE FINGER WAS ALSO INJURED. SHE WILL BE IN A CAST UNTIL AT LEAST 1/20/05.*AK
