CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2000 Chevy Astro Van has a solid reputation with very low complaint rates. The only problem now is finding one with low miles.

Not only is the 2000 Astro Van reliable, but since they were built on a truck powertrain, they can tow 5,500/5,000 lbs (RWD/AWD) -- almost double what other minivans can.

The Chevy Astro is mechanically identical to the GMC Safari.

Door handle on right rear dutch door of our 2000 Astro van broke suddenly when trying to open door. While the dutch door feature is operationally very handy, the door design always had a flimsy feel to it - so we always used great care when opening and closing. After it broke, we found the NHTSA #634576 with similar complaints, so felt obligated to add to your list.

The brakes went to the floor and after being pumped a few times actually slowed the vehicle down. This has happened a few times but unable to reproduce at dealership. This vehicle has been to shop too many times for many items including side door rattles, ignition problem with security feature, windshield ect.

Design of sliding door is not well done because door will not automatically lock into place, like in other van doors. Contacted dealer. *akconsumer states; if parked on a hill front end down, door can close by itself without warning. Also, vehicle experiences loss of braking power, traction, on wet/bumpy roads.

Sliding door would close whenever parked on a decline, there is nothing to lock door in that situation. Dealer notified, and informed consumer it cannot be fixed, and nothing will be done. Vehicle stalled intermittently hot or cold on very light acceleration from a stop, dealer could not find problem, service engine light also illuminated. Rear liftgate hatch binded due to lack of lubrication.
