Took the Venture on a road trip down to Washington State and would you believe it, after 50K Km, everything is going awry. In six days, the ABS, T/C have failed, the Tranny has started slipping and hesitating, and the starter is acting wonky... on top of that we lost three of those plastic wheel nut covers because, as it turns out, the lug nuts weren't tightened properly at the last tire rotation, last week. Making an appt at the dealer this week now that I'm back in Canukistan, but I don't know how extensive this repair is gonna be.
We're getting to the point over here where we have had almost enough with the service dept. at the dealer where we buy our cars... it's just like one blunder after another with these guys. The retractors for the sunshade in the MAXX went for the big one in mid July, we were told that the part had to be ordered, it would take 1.5 weeks, and that we'd be notified the second it arrives... A month goes by and no word. When the van goes in for a tire rotation last week, it was discovered that the part had been sitting there since 5 DAYS after it was ordered and we were NEVER NOTIFIED. Took the car in last week only to find out that they ordered the wrong part for a front SUNROOF MOTOR even though our car OBVIOUSLY isn't equipped with one. The correct part is overnighted from Edmonton and the repair is done the next day (it took 3 hours).
