2002 Chevrolet Venture: engine stalls while driving

Filed Nov 13, 2006 · Electrical · VA

The first year we owned the vehicle was great. After the first year we have had nothing but problems, frustrations and the run around. The most serious problem is the one I will share with you today. For over a year now, my battery light would come on while I was driving. I have taken the van into the dealership several times. They can never duplicate the incident. Thank goodness that it has never stalled while driving but I am sure it is just a matter of time. I have a small child and my husband is military, so my husband is not with us when we travel. Naturally I am very concerned that my child and I will be on the highway alone. They have replaced several parts (starter, wires, this time the battery, other times no parts at all) in the vehicle but nothing has corrected this problem. I keep going back and the service department keeps giving the vehicle to the same team. I am so frustrated and I feel like I was sold a new lemon.

Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled intermittently. This happened at various speeds and under normal driving conditions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealership for inspection numerous times. However, the dealer could not duplicate the problem. The dealer replaced the intake manifold and anti-freeze in an attempt to remedy the problem, but it still exists.

Venture minivan stalls (dies) while driving. This occurs unexpectedly...occurring 5 different times since we've bought the vehicle. No accidents or injuries as of yet, but we have a child so this is of major concern to us. Mini-van has been to the dealership 3 times...they were unable to duplicate problem. We made a formal complaint to gm headquarters. Most recently dealership replaced ignition switch, stating that problem could..."possibly (be) bad ignition switch." at this point we still do not know if problem is fixed or are we waiting for another stall to occur while driving.

My wife and I own a 2002 chevrolet venture van. On at least 5 occasions in the 16 months we have owned it, it has unexpectedly stalled while driving, most recently in an intersection. The dealer (h&h chevrolet) has been of no help as they cannot find anything wrong. I see that there have been at least 6 identical complaints lodged with your office for this very problem (see complaint nos. 10001257, 10001548, 10001584, 10002244, 10004168, 10014614), so it is not unique to my vehicle. Clearly it is a safety issue, particularly when it happens in an intersection (like it did for us) or on the highway as in some of the other complaints. Please let me know if the manufacturer has found a solution to this problem. Thanks!
