Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet venture. The contact stated that her vehicle would overheat. In addition, there was smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle.

My 2002 chevy venture was brought to the dealer in 2004 for normal maintenance. When I went to pick up the van I was told by the service person that they replaced the intake manifold gasket, which I was unaware that it was even a problem. This work was done under warranty and I was told by the service person that it was continuing problem with the ventures. It is now november 2007 and the gasket needs to be replaced again and the vehicle is out of warranty.
