Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When our van (2001 chevy venture) reached about 75000 miles, we noticed the temperature on the gauge rising. i contacted our mechanic and he recommended flushing the cooling line and changing the thermostat. i took the van in and had the cooling system flushed and the thermostat changed. at that time he noticed a coolant leak below the intake. now that the cooling system has been flushed and the thermostat changed i was hoping to not see a fluctuation in the temperature. i was wrong, the temperature is still fluctuating and now i notice when it gets hot the car shifts very rough. he recommended i contact a gm dealer and have them look at it, due to the venture van being known for this issue and hopefully gm would cover the cost. i have contacted the local gm dealer and have an appointment this week. i searched the internet and found several others with this same issue and i hope that gm steps up to fix the problem. *ak
