My wife smelled gasoline upon entering the car on october 7, 2012. I checked under the car from where the smell was coming from, and saw gasoline dripping from a pipe near the gas tank. I brought the car to the local chevy dealership. I had to replace four fuel and evaporation lines due to corrosion. It cost me over $1,000 to replace these lines. I feel very fortunate that I was able to correct this problem before a disaster could have occurred. I could have been driving on the highway with gasoline leaking onto my exhaust pipe. I think that these vans should be recalled immediately before someone is seriously injured. It is an absolute disgrace that chevy would put in fuel lines that had any possibility of corroding. They should be made aware of this serious problem and correct it immediately.

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)

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.

Day of purchase, major engine failures replacement of nearly everything then some. Continues to arc electrical sparks under the hood. Electrical shorting of all components within the van internal engine issues not correctable just bandaiding fuel issues with oil coolant and arcing constitutes a fire and possibly death. I have all serviced repair documents if one should need to view them.

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.
