Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had all the problems that everyone has complained about, but, the worst to me is that i am sitting here in need of a motor in my 1998 venture van. i thought that i would be able to use to at least 100,000 miles. i started getting the ticking noise like at 50,000 miles and was told that it was the lifters, couldn't believe it, then before it hit 60,000 i had rods bearings and i am not sure what else done and by 70,00 my motor is blown. i am a homemaker with 2 children in college and 2 weddings going on, i can't afford a new car and now i am driving my brothers, it is embarrassing to say the least. i had contacted chevy and they offered me a little voucher to help pay on a new van. i can't afford a new one, i am not a vain person, i just want a car i can trust and thought that i had one in chevy. now i see why people are buying foreign. i saw in the complaints where this has happened to several ventures what are we to do?
