Security light kept coming on. Then car would not start, then took to dealer ,and the fuel pump had to be changed. One week later, vehicle would not start again , changed the sensor . Two weeks later, vehicle would not start once again. Towed truck to dealer, and they took out the dash and replaced a switch.
Roblems that I have listed are only the icing on the cake. I have several other problems and such as : oil coller inlet, rear main seal, extention housing leaking.my front end alignment wanders, problems with keyless remote and factory alarm.roof rack was improperly installed, cigarettte lighter falls out, glove box light switch defective,raido speakers not propertly installled. When tensioner failed, there was a loud noise from the front end,so I decided to get off the busy road to find out where the noise came from. My steering also went out;I had my children with me on a busy road speed limit 45.I went to make a left had turn and had extreme difficulty in turning my wheel. I had to unbuckle my seatbelt; to pull on the steering wheel with all my body weight, and still couldn't make the turn, I had to back up and try to turn again.I continue to have frontend,window,fuel injection, doors not wanting to lock and unlock properly and I still continue to have these problems. I feel that this chevrolet, astro is a very unsafe vehicle to be driving. Any info you can give me on this vehicle would be greatly appericated. Thank you laurie hoekzema.
