Overview & Reviews

The Venture becomes the first minivan to offer a factory-installed DVD video player; it comes standard on the popular Warner Bros. Edition. The WB and LT models get an all-new AWD option package. Two new colors and LATCH child safety-seat anchors sum up the changes for 2002.

• Car-like ride and handling, power sliding doors, eight-passenger seating option, available DVD entertainment system.

• Uninspired styling, flimsy modular seats, interior fit and finish, coarse engine character.

  This van SUCKS - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By mogulprinceton - March 2 - 7:43 pm

  My housekeeper owns a 2002 Chevy Venture LS V6 FWD that my father brought her in 2001 as a Christmas gift for being a fabulous housekeeper. She clearly loves it and does not want to give it up for even a new 2012 Nissan Quest? ODD but I hate that van, it does not have a quick take off like most vans in that class, the gas gage is broke so she can only use 75% of her tank, the headlights and highbeams are not bright at all. In fact at night you can even see the road well. The interior lights dont work when the doors are open only when you turn the lights on it the van from the switch. Its just a mess. Handling is even worst cause there is so much body roll.

  How do I hate my venture... let me count - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By Disgruntled Owner - April 18 - 10:18 am

  My venture was purchased as a rebound in 2002 from an unhelpful Honda dealership (no negot. On an Odyssey). If only I had a time machine and could undo this horrendous mistake. Yes, it was loaded with stuff, yes, it was peppy, yes, my kids loved the dvd player. Heres what I didnt know. Less than a year after buying the van, the manifold gasket went. Then the ac went, after soaking the interior carpet with drips from the condenser. The power sliding door fell off in 2004. The windshield wipers failed after the circuit board got wet (built into the motor, Nice). I have been told by many mechanics that this was a big mistake to ever buy this van.
