1999 Chevrolet Venture transmission complaints

Began noticing harsh shifts in automatic transmission of 1999 chevrolet venture van in summer of 2003 when van had approximately 85,000 miles. In fall of 2003, harshness of shifting became more pronounced and van was inspected by a transmission repair faciilty. I was advised that my transmission was failing because of insufficient fluid pressure, and if left unaddressed, the transmission would soon fail, leaving me stranded at the location of transmission failure. I was further advised by the repair facility that such transmission problems are indicative of chevrolet venture vans and that they were surprised I was able to drive my vehicle for as many miles as I did before noticing a problem. While my van did have over 92,000 miles on it when the transmission needed to be replaced, I nevertheless feel that if such transmission failures are indicative of chevy transmissions for my model year, that a recall should have been ordered for the same. I paid almost $3,000.00 to have my transmission rebuilt and now may have some assurance of mechanical functunality. I will drive this van for as long as I am able, but have lost all confidence in gm products and will not purchase another gm product unless adequate assurances are provided against such mechanical failures in the future.
Transmission slips and stutters at less than 65,000 miles. Had to replace valve, solenoid, filter and fluid at a cost of $971.93 from gm dealer.
There was a problem with the vehicles transmission. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least six times while under warranty. The dealer stated that nothing was wrong and made no record of checking the vehicle. Currently the vehicle is out of warranty and the transmission is still having problems. *ak

My van would be all right until I would come to a stop light or stop sign and then it would start to lurch and it felt like the motor was in a diffrent gear. If I would turn it off it would work fine. It would not do it all the time - it cost about 537.00 to fix it. And it was a pres control solenoid.
Upon making a left hand u turn, the vehicle, while under power, lost drive. The engine did not die, nor did it slip out of gear, after several engine rev's I coasted to the side of the road and stopped. After stopping power returned to the drivetrain. The danger was apparent as cars braked to avoid hitting a semi stalled car.
Transmission failure required complete replacement. Replacement cost $900.00.
Vehicle will roll backwards while in drive on most inclines, and it will roll forward while in reverse, consumer was told that all vehicles do this and it is completely normal. Yd
When making a right or left turn, the transmission would hesitate and then shift real hard, causing quite a bit of difference in speed, consumer took vehicle to dealership and was informed that the transmission valve was defective.
We have had nothing but problems with our "lemon" and we have received no response from chevrolet on our concerns.
Vehicle was in motion when complete transmission failure occurred, causing vehilcle to come to an unexpected stop.
When at stop on slight incline with transmission in gear upon taking off -moving my foot from the brake to the gas the vehicle rolls back intermittenly (like the transmission slipping).
While warming vehicle the shift gear went from park to drive without indication, causing vehicle to travel without consumer inside vehicle. Please provide further informaton.
