Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased a used chevrolet venture minivan. after approximately 6,000 miles driving, the intake manifold gasket failed and i now have coolant in the vehicle oil. this is an expensive repair and after considerable internet investigation, i found literally hundred of other owners with the same complaint. it appear that gm has known about this problem for some time and refuses to correct the problem. so far, i have not had the vehicle repaired because of cost, but i think that gm should be responsible to venture owners to repair this defect cost free to the owner.*ak
