CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2004 GMC Astro has a reliable reputation and a VERY low number of complaints -- zero, in fact, at the time of writing these notes.

Much like it's mechanically identical counterpart, the Chevy Astro, the Safari was built on a truck powertrain. So not only can you haul lots of gear inside, but you can tow up to 5,500 pounds of gear behind you too. That's a lot of stuff.

The rear end was making a noise and was taken to the car dealer checked the vehicle. The dealer said that the problem was with the carrier bearings and the ring & pinion (factory defect). The vehicle has been making this noise since it was purchased and the warranty will not cover repairs. The cost is estimated to be $1500 dollars. We have sent it to the dealer on 3 different occasions and they say the warranty refuses to pay for the repairs.
