Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2002 G30 is engine and engine cooling:engine:gasoline with 1 filings, followed by unknown or other (1). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 57 investigation files overlapping the 2002 G30, and 2 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

WHEN THE 'ENGINE CHECK LIGHT APPEARS ON MY DASHBOARD OF THE VAN THE FIRST TIME, I TOOK THE VAN BACK TO THE DEALER 'ANDERSON CHEVROLET' FOR RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER THE 1ST ATTEMPT WAS DONE BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE LIGHT STILL APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I TOOK MY VAN BACK TO THE DEALER THE 2ND TIME, THE SALES AGENT CALLED STEVE GLASS RESPONDED PRETTY RUDE AND HE EVEN SAID, "GO AHEAD NOT TO PAY! (MONTHLY CAR PAYMENTS)" WHAT A SHAME IS THIS IS A BRAND NEW VAN THAT I PURCHASED, HOW IN THE WORLD THAT THE CAR DEALER CAN DENY ANY FAILURES OF MY VAN?! I AM VERY UPSET AS MY 6 TO 7 FRIENDS PURCHASED VEHICLES FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP, THEY TREATED ME QUITE IRREPONSIBLY AND UNFAIRLY! SINCE IT IS THE ENGINE PROBLEM AND MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGES POTENTIALLY, I REALLY HAVE NO OTHER CHOICES BUT DEMANDING A REPLACEMENT OF THE EXACT SAME VAN THAT I PURCHASED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!*AK
