1994 Chevrolet Astro visibility complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 88, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Windshield wipers sometimes fail to operate when actuated. Vehicle operator must open hood and pound on windshield wiper motor in order for it to work. Windshield wiper motor also may quit operating at any time without warning. Idler arms; both front left and right idler arms had to be replaced due to an inability to control the vehicle on uneven surfaces, such as encountering a crack in the road or pavement seam. Loss of control was without warning. Vehicle operated otherwise normally except for a slight drift at highway speeds. At low speeds, vehicle could change lanes without notice. Replacement perts supplier informed me that oe parts wear out very rapidly, and must be replaced at least every 2 years for safety sake.
Winshield wipers periodically cut off.
Sometimes windshield wipers come on, and sometimes they will not. After adjusting the circuit board, the wipers may came back on. Dealer was called about the problem. The problem has not been corrected.

I have had 3 chevrolet astro vans, the first two I purchased new. They are a 1991, 1994 and another 1994 model. I have purchased all three from buford ward chevrolet. On all three units I have had a problem with the windshield wiper motor failing. It is intermittent but happens at the most inoportune time. The wiper motor either fails to start up or it will quit while you're driving down the road in a rain. Then after a few minutes the motor will start up again. I also noticed that if I hit the dash board real hard sometimes that will get the motor going again also. On the 1st 1994 model I had, I finally unscrewed the front plastic cover on the wiper motor which covers the computer chip. I placed a fairly thin piece of cardboard between the chip and the cover keeping the chip in place tighter. After doing that, it alleviated the problem. Now I have another 1994 with the same problem. This is a safety issue that general motors needs to know about. Driving down a crowded 4 lane in the rain and having the wipers fail is a very frightening experience.
