FAQQuestions about the Venture manual

38 recalls are on federal record across the 1997–2005 Venture, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Chevrolet dealers.
Why do some Venture years cost more?
Every Venture year is $29.99.
