CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2001 Chevy Astro Van has a solid reputation with very low complaint rates. The only problem now is finding one with low miles.

Abs system engages at slow speeds at stopping, causing van not to stop and for driver to panic and had to slam on brakes in hopes for van to stop before intersection. Oil pressure gauge drops and bounces when brakes are applied.
