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. Called chevy dealer who gave me # for gm, who couldn't work out solution with me because I chose to service car at local garage and not dealer. Never mind that the dealer wouldn't have taken my extended warranty. Will never buy another van from chevy again and hope someone learns from my experience.

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.

I have a 2000 chevrolet astro van which I have not been able to drive for about a year because of malfuncioning antilock brakes. I brought it to be repaired last year but after paying over $800 the problem remains. The antilock brakes prevent the vehicle from stopping when traveling at slow speeds. Today I heard of an investigation of this very problem on similar chevy suvs and trucks, but the astro van was not included in the article I read. Please let me know if my vehicle will be included in this action. Thank you! Andrea amodeo, 1059 bailey hill road, readsboro, vt

2000 van left in at 55,000 miles for oil change. Informed that manifold gasket is leaking and needs replacing $880. This appears to be a defect in these vans so cost should be covered by the manufacturer.
