The door handles on both the passenger and driver side broke off. The sliding side door lock engaged before the door fully closed breaking the locking mechanism. I have seen several astro as well as safari vans with missing handles. I am having trouble finding replacement doors.

What owners say
Consumer stated while driving pins in steering column sheared, causing steering to drop. Consumer had to pull to the side of the road and call a tow truck. Consumer had vehicle towed to his home, and repaired the problem himself. Also, door handles broke off, all almost at the same time, within a week apart. Consumer replaced them on his own.
The back double door will not open anymore. I can not get into the van to place my sons wheel chair into it. The space in the rear was the reason why I purchased the vehicle. The side door will no longer lock, and the interior light will not come on when the door is open. *ts *nlm **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis**770142
