“While driving at about 35 MPH my vehicle lost all power relating to the brakes and steering. (the radio and lights were still operating.) the only thing I could do was coast to a stop. This caused me to run a red light, but fortunately the only car going through the intersection had just cleared it before I entered the intersection.”
NHTSA complaint #10021382, filed 2003-06, 47,967 miles“I have a 2000 chevy venture VAN w/ only 62043 miles on it. With some of my kids in the car, the engine started to whine. Brought it to a garage, where I was told my transmission was junk and it would cost about $2k to fix. I thank god that I at least got to a garage and there was no accident. This is on the heels of gasket seals leaking in the engine, ABS hub centers failing, all brakes having had work (not just front), suspension work, sliding doors coming off track. …”
NHTSA complaint #10158070, filed 2006-05, 62,043 miles“I own a 2000 Chevrolet astro VAN which I have not been able to drive for over a year because of malfunctioning antilock brakes. I brought it to be repaired last year and paid over $800 for one set of brakes, the other set still needs to be fixed. The antilock brakes prevent the vehicle from stopping when traveling at slow speeds. This is a definite safety problem. There has been a service bulletin for this problem on this vehicle since 2002. There is currently an investigation of this very problem on similar chevy suvs and trucks, but not including the astro VAN.”
