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.
Not only is the 2001 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.

The electric windows on my GMC Astro van are failing to go up or down after one use. I put the window down at a toll booth to pay the toll and the window will not go back up. During the cold weather and rain I consider this a safety hazard. Every GMC product I have owned eventually gets this problem.
I did not have brake failure but my van has been in the shop about 11 times for the same condition which is a thumping noise comming from the left front brake the rotors have been changed several times and refaced several times just cant seem to find what is causing the problem
