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.

Entire seal was lifting from top and down both sides, water leaking in at top of windshield, entire windshield and seal had to be reset. Tried going to dealer about bulletin they said they heard of no such thing on my van year or type. Ended up having to pay whole cost myself.
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.
The side window of the Astro mini-van tilts out and is suppose to "lock" into position. However, at speeds over 50mph; this window slams shut without warning. One time my son had his hand out the window and it slammed shut on his fingers. I'm concerned that the "locking" mechanism needs to be improved so this will not happen.
This is a serious problem, we have contacted several auto glass dealers and found this to be an ongoing problem, how can a mfg. Pf any auto continue to pruduce this kind of shoddy workmanship and continue to sell autos? I usally go to the side door and wait for me husband to unlock the door for myself and our son if I had been standing near this day we would have both been injured by the exploding glass! please do all that you can to ensure the continued safety of all!! thank you sally fiske
