  1999 Astro LS AWD - 1999 Chevrolet Astro
  By danjpao - November 27 - 2:00 am

  Many problems after the first 2 years (35000 miles). Transfer case was rebuilt twice, 35000 miles apart because of locking up on cornering. Cant keep brakes in it - rotors keep warping - brake system is to small for the weight of vehicle. Power steering pump, 1 door lock actuator, 2 sets of idler arms, oil cooler lines, ignition coil, ignition switch housing and pinion oil seal all replaced. Right now at 76,000 miles my Astro is in the shop with the engine out because of a coolant leak. I am amazed at Chevys lack of concern for this lemon!!!

  Many problems - 1999 Chevrolet Astro
  By Victor - April 30 - 2:00 am

  I bought this van because of its size. This van has had many problems. Window switches replaced, door locks replaced, door opener replaced, calipers replaced, all these problems under 36,000 miles. Latest problem the differential had to be replaced at 38,000. Unheard of by many mechanics. GM would not pick up total cost to replace it. Only half. The executive office said since I didnt use the dealer to service it all the time, they would not help me. Why should I pay the deal 2 times the amount for a simple oil change.
