Passenger side power assist sliding door fell off of the rear sliding roller guide after it froze half open/shut. The door has been making funny sounds when opening and closing for about two weeks. The door has also been opening back up when it tries to close. The outer sliding track has bent somehow? I am guessing it is part of the noise the door has been making. After disassembly of the door and the interior compartment, it was determined to be the actuator cables making most of the noise. The plastic liner on the cables had been stripped off and the cables had been balled up and they are starting to frey. I have rebent the track to accept the sliding rollers and I have removed the cables from the door to allow the door to open and close manually.
2000 Chevrolet Venture locks complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
It started the second week of june are 2000 chevy venture van power sliding door stop working and was in the lock position and could not be unlock either by power or manually.I took it to the dealership and had to pay over 600.00 to get that repaired. My problem is what if this happens again and I get into a wreck there would be no way I could get my kids out of car. So if you can help me with this I would apperiated it. I think that should have been something they could have pay for. Thanks.
Consumer complained about a problem with the automatic sliding door on the passenger's side. The door would close without warning. It had to be held open with force.
Manual sliding door fell off van when rounding a corner at low speed.
I have had my 2000 venture in for power sliding door repairs three times. The first two times the dealer attempted to fix the problem according to the safety recall bulletin. The problem still persisted, and was fixed when the dealer installed a new power sliding door motor and clutch assembly. This stopped the door from intermittent binding, and now the power sliding door opens and closes correctly. The dealer replaced the motor, clutch assembly, actuator and retainer. Dan kruse pontiac (the dealer) was very nice, and I wasn't charged for this service. To whom this bill went to I don't know. But, I have an extended warranty on this van. The reason I have submitted this report is that the safety recall on the 2000 venture van may not entirely fix this problem. The "binding" problem that existed on the power sliding door may have weakened the power sliding door motor and clutch assembly to where it has to be repaired. The original safety recall on the power sliding door problem may not be complete yet. Thanks.**** dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****761006. *ak

This condition does not exist when parked on a downhill, in which the front of the van is lower than the back of the van. Consumer is aware there is a recall notice 01v067000 relating to this condition. Vehicle has been serviced 3 times, but problem still exist.
Tailgate either failed to latch or opened - no audible alarm was sounded - subsequent tests showed an audible alarm on the two front doors and the right slider door but no audible alarm on either the left slider door or on the tailgate creating a potential deadly situation.

While traveling at approximately 40 MPH drivers side non-powered sliding door came open while there were 5 children in vehicle. Dealership examined sliding door and could not determine a reason for problem. Also, on june 5 2001, non-powered passenger side sliding door came open while vehicle was in motion with 2 children in the vehicle. Dealership again could not determine a reason for defect, and were unwilling to assist consumer. Also, consumer noted that child safety locking mechanisms were active on each occasion that this problem occurred. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
