  • Love It!!! - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    I have had my van for 3 years now, and my husband wants me to trade it in for a new sporty SUV. I cant-I have not found anything that compares to my van. I prefer the van to the SUVs. The van has everything I would want in an SUV (except the 4-wheel drive) for half of the price.

    Very versatile. I can take the seats out and haul logs, concrete, plywood, furniture, or major appliances with ease. Good gas mileage.

    A great family vehicle, not fun to drive-but comfortable.The suspension needs to be firmer.

  • Low Mileage Transmission Failure - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    I recently purchased my 99 Chevy Venture after much research on the internet and after test driving many different manufacturers minivans. I have been very happy with this vehicle until my transmission abruptly broke. The vehicle only had 40,000 miles and I was advised that this was one of the top of the line transmissions built to last at least 100,000. The only findings were "mechanical breakdown". The repair shop advised that this was probably due to faulty workmanship when the car was put together.

  • Underrated Minivan - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    I have been shopping for a minivan for the last 6 months. Ive done tons of research, test drove many vans.When I drove the Venture I was sold. Chevrolet has done a poor job of marketing this vehicle, I think it is a more sturdy and solid vehicle than the Dodge and Chryslers I drove.

  • No attention to detail - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    Attention to detail has been sadly overlooked. I have had nothing but trouble with the elictrical system of this vehicle. I found the problems to be caused by the rear tail light assembly(s). They were not put together correctly at the factory and leaked water. Worse yet, I have had it in the Chevy dealer(s) multiple times for electrical problems. Each time I brought it in, they would charge me for repairs of the various electrical subsystems, but the problems would keep coming back. I found out the break lights were causing the problem getting a warning ticket. I took the breaks apart and found water and corrosion damage!

  • Another gasket problem - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    I used tolove this van - it is my second Venture. After a crash that totaled our first Venture, but left my family uninjured I bought this one without a second thought. At 35,000 miles the manifold gasket has failed and I have been without the van for three weeks waiting on parts. Ive called Chevy and had to go tot the dealerships GM to get my rental upgraded to another van (they pulled a used one from stock!). Chevy really needs to re-design this gasket and recall for the repair, Im out of warranty after about two more years!

  • Id buy another - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    The van runs great, handles well, and is quite comfortable. Surprisingly, we often average 26 mpg on long highway- centric trips. The Venture has not disappointed us.

  • Beautiful - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    This is a beautiful car! Seats all my kids comfortably. I have heard bad things about the reliabilty. But well see if we have any problems in the future. So far so good!
