Fuel gauge problem on 2002 chevy venture. stays at full when driving (never moves), stays at empty (never moves) with low fuel light on when idling. that's it, the fuel gauge shows no other amount of fuel. nothing out of the ordinary happened to signal the start of this problem. has caused vehicle to run out of gas without any knowledge. no repairs have solved this problem. many other complaints on various message boards on the internet from other chevy venture owners with similar problem and no luck in correction of the problem. *jb
The light saying "check engine soon" went on. i was due for an oil change anyway so took the car to the dealer. parts manager said it needs a new thermostat and intake gasket. gasket takes 6.6 hrs labor and will therefore cost over $500. this is a 2002 chevrolet venture van model sv; 42000 miles. this seems an unusual costly repair for this vehicle. what do you think?*ak
Vehicle has been in dealers shop four times due to fuel gauge not working properly. whenever fuel tank was filled fuel gauge would show a half tank. also, there was an oil leak. vehicle had been in dealers shop twice for oil leak. *ak
While driving our 2002 chevrolet venture, the abs light comes on and "all-wheel drive disabled" appears in the display. this has occurred on three separate occasions, each time while driving, each time after having been repaired by the dealer. in for service on 9/5/02, 11/19/02, 12/2/02 and today, 9/29/03 for a total of 47 days and counting. this last incident occurred after the part was "redesigned" to eliminate the known defect. there was a failure of the abs and all wheel drive system due to a faulty wheel speed sensor. the consumer requested a refund under the new york lemon law. the fuel evaporator leaked. *scc *jb
