Re: 97 venture with antifreeze in oil
Cartracker.com has a class action law suit petition circulating about the very same problem. It seems GM knew there was a problem but won't cover it as a recall. I called Chevrolet myself on their Customer Satisfaction number but they won't cover my $825.00 replacement because my vehicle has 128,000 miles on it. They say if I get the repair done at a dealership and submit it to them in writing, that they will CONSIDER a reimbursement. I'm going to do it just to see if they will reimburse me and if they don't, I'm going to hand it off to a lawyer.
Chevrolet Submission Guidelines: 1. Submit the repair bill 2. Submit proof of payment 3. Submit copy of vehicle registration (proof of ownership) 4. Send to: CHEVROLET P.O. Box 33170 Detroit, MI 48232-5170 You must have a service request number, meaning you have to call Chevrolet to get a "tracking" number first. Anyone else who has had this problem I urge you to call Chevrolet and give them all the details. If not, their defect might keep costing us, the consumer more and more money! |

Re: 97 venture with antifreeze in oil
Did you changed oil and filter?
I changed oil and filter 3 times within 1 week. My guess is you may have plugged oil pick up from the crap that results from coolant/oil mixture. It sorta looks like peanut butter/mud. |
