“I recently heard of a recall on the tahoes and GM trucks regarding the gauge panel or cluster panel. I drive a 1990 chevy Astro van which is on a tahoe frame. I am having the same types of problems with my gauge panel as described in the recall. My ABS/brake light comes on at various times for no reason. My temp and oil gauges change from hot to cold and back again for no reason and the check gauge light will light up. Now the gas had will change even when the car is not on. As a woman I need to be able to depend on my cars gauges to let me know if there is a problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10220384, filed 2008-03, 100,000 miles“Chevy 2000 Astro, cuts out while driving. We even pushed the van into a chevy dealer and they could not tell us what it was after hooking it up to diagnostics. We figured it was the coil wire. Recently the van has been bogging down when it is under load. Also, when it rains it runs rough. We took it to a shop and they replaced our fuel filter. It ran fine but still cuts out sometimes running up hill. So we changed the spark plugs. If you let the van sit over the weekend with out driving it, the van was really hard to start. Until finally it just wouldn't start at all. …”
