Noticed our 2000 vventure van is rusting around the back of the sliding door and back wheel well...other friends that same similar year and model have the same issue.
2000 Chevrolet Venture. Faulty spot weld in the unibody near the right front corner of the driver seat mount stamping. This has cause approx. A 4 inch tear in the floor pan running from the mount toward the console. There is also a tear spidering on the left side of the same bracket around a weld that is now about the size of a half dollar. The vehicle was never in an accident that I am aware of and I have owned it since 2002. My concern is that if you do not remove the carpet you would not see it. If the vehicle were to be rear-ended the seat bracket may tear the floor more and cause the driver seat to pin the rear seat passengers. I have digital photos of the tears available as well. The failure will require welding of the tear on the floor pan as a minimum.
Both sliding back doors molding T loosened and is hung down. Dealer applied glue, and it did not hold. She had to have the molding replaced. Dealer did not got the replacement parts in yet. Dealer only knew about the passenger side, the drivers side just happened today. Manufacturer said to contact dealer.
