| 1997 | VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS | ELECTRIC WINDOW CONTROLS ON MY 1997 CHEVROLET ASTRO VAN HAVE STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. STARTED HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER I HAD A DEALERSHIP REPAIR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROLS PURSUANT TO GM RECALL. MOSTLY OCCURS AFTER WINDOW IS DOWN, AND SWITCH WILL NOT OPERATE TO ROLL WINDOW UP. IF I WAIT A MINUTE, THE SWITCH WILL WORK, BUT WILL ONLY ROLL WINDOW UP AN INCH OR TWO AT A TIME BEFORE IT STOPS WORKING AGAIN. *NLM |
| 1998 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM | ROBLEMS THAT I HAVE LISTED ARE ONLY THE ICING ON THE CAKE. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS AND SUCH AS : OIL COLLER INLET, REAR MAIN SEAL, EXTENTION HOUSING LEAKING.MY FRONT END ALIGNMENT WANDERS, PROBLEMS WITH KEYLESS REMOTE AND FACTORY ALARM.ROOF RACK WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED, CIGARETTTE LIGHTER FALLS OUT, GLOVE BOX LIGHT SWITCH DEFECTIVE,RAIDO SPEAKERS NOT PROPERTLY INSTALLLED. WHEN TENSIONER FAILED, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE FROM THE FRONT END,SO I DECIDED TO GET OFF THE BUSY ROAD TO FIND OUT WHERE THE NOISE CAME FROM. MY STEERING ALSO WENT OUT;I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME ON A BUSY ROAD SPEED LIMIT 45.I WENT TO MAKE A LEFT HAD TURN AND HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN TURNING MY WHEEL. I HAD TO UNBUCKLE MY SEATBELT; TO PULL ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH ALL MY BODY WEIGHT, AND STILL COULDN'T MAKE THE TURN, I HAD TO BACK UP AND TRY TO TURN AGAIN.I CONTINUE TO HAVE FRONTEND,WINDOW,FUEL INJECTION, DOORS NOT WANTING TO LOCK AND UNLOCK PROPERLY AND I STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. I FEEL THAT THIS CHEVROLET, ASTRO IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE TO BE DRIVING. ANY INFO YOU CAN GIVE ME ON THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE GREATLY APPERICATED. THANK YOU LAURIE HOEKZEMA. *AK |
