| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have a 1999 chevrolet venture that we purchased in dec. 2001. we did not purchase a warranty. a couple of weeks after the purchase the "check coolant" light came on and stayed on. we had to keep adding coolant. i do not work on cars and had a very sick wife, so the light was a minor stress at the time. i'd taken the car to get looked at and they said "the coolant is leaking into the engine, and the engine is going" well for a car with just over 23,825 miles on it, i was very steamed. it lasted till 47,359 miles and my wife was stranded on the road. the car was towed and sat at the chevy dealership from sept. 9th till dec. 12th 2002. while still paying $437.00 a month payment. we had a used engine put in it by the chevy dealership which had 20,000 less miles on it, and today has 74,000 miles on it.we paid $2,400 for this used engine. i just found out that the o2 sensor just went out on us. but if there is a defective engine or similar parts on it, is this going to happen again- just a matter of time? |
