Power Train · at 62,043 miles · reported May 23, 2006
I have a 2000 chevy venture van w/ only 62043 miles on it. With some of my kids in the car, the engine started to whine. Brought it to a garage, where I was told my transmission was junk and it would cost about $2k to fix. I thank god that I at least got to a garage and there was no accident. This is on the heels of gasket seals leaking in the engine, ABS hub centers failing, all brakes having had work (Not just front), suspension work, sliding doors coming off track. Called chevy dealer who gave me # for GM, who couldn't work out solution with me because I chose to service car at local garage…
Vehicle Speed Control · reported Oct 24, 2005
1.) gas pedal sticks (It's been looked at and haven't been able to correct it). 2.) side van door sticks and sometimes we cannot get it open.
Exterior Lighting · reported Jul 6, 2005
Dt: the consumer stated he has four vans where the headlights are blinding to other vehicles. The headlights have been adjusted numerous times and have been replaced about 10 times.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · reported Jun 25, 2005
I own a 2000 chevrolet astro van which I have not been able to drive for over a year because of malfunctioning antilock brakes. I brought it to be repaired last year and paid over $800 for one set of brakes, the other set still needs to be fixed. The antilock brakes prevent the vehicle from stopping when traveling at slow speeds. This is a definite safety problem. There has been a service bulletin for this problem on this vehicle since 2002. There is currently an investigation of this very problem on similar chevy suvs and trucks, but not including the astro van.
