“This is the second time I will have to replace the torsion bar on this 1994 chevy Astro awd van. The first time was about 4 years ago. I have done a search and there are hundreds if not thousands of reports of the torsion bars failing without warning, resulting in bottoming of the suspension. Fortunately, it failed when I was parked both times it has failed but could have been devastating if I was on the highway.”
NHTSA complaint #10233701, filed 2008-07, 163,951 miles“When the brake pedal was used, it would be mushy & go to floor. This caused extended stopping distance. Also, gas gauge indicator would flop off and on/ air conditioner & electric windows failed to work,and ABS brake light was on. Had to shut down vehicle & then restart it. An intermittent problem that was getting worse. Speed has not played a factor in problem. Taking vehicle to dealer.”
