We own a 2000 chevy venture that we bought used about 4 years ago. When we bought it, the button for the doors to open automatically didn't work as well as the gas gauge. Since, we have replaced the heads, the water pump, rack and pinion, wheel hub, tie rod end, as well as replacing the head lights every couple months and now having problems with the brake lights.when we had the heads replaced, they flushed the radiator and we are still having problems with the low coolant light coming on and the fluid looking cloudy. They told us that the cloudiness sometimes happens, but still doesn't explain the light coming on saying its low!!! We were also notified that the ABS box is bad and needs replaced...also, sometimes there is water that leaks from the weather gauge or the top of the windshield. Also the traction system light comes on and actually shuts the system off when you turn the van on, this maybe due to the bad ABS box but has been doing this longer then the ABS light has been on. There is also rust along the van below the sliding doors. The locks also sometimes stick when using the keypad or the electrical lock button inside the van. We can't wait to get rid of this van! Just hope we have better luck with our next vehicle.

While driving, traction control warning light continuously illuminated on the dashboard. As a result, ABS system and the traction control failed. Dealer stated the need to replace the main computer and sensor. This will cost over $1000,00.
The ABS light illuminated on the dashboard, also there was a noise coming from the brakes.
During normal driving conditions (no rain, snow, hazards) our right rear tire failed. The tread completely separated from the tire destroying the rim ABS harness cable and other for a total of 2000.00 damage. No injuries. The tires have very little wear (9000 miles). I immediately replaced all the tires with another brand. The catastrophic failure of the tire concerns me and believe the tire to be faulty. I would like to have the tire analized by an independent lab to let and to give their opinion of why the tire failed. Is there a indiependent investigation lab in my area who could assist me with this problem? I'd appreciate your response. *ak (dot number: w2mb3bcb08 tiresize: 21570r1597)
Electrical cluster was rusted causing failure/shorting of other components (speedometer,ABS,seat belt and coolant lights). Yh
