Fuel injector plugs up and fails. It runs very rough. Nothing can prevent problem per dealer service techs. I was told it was due to poor design. It has occurred twice now. The first covered under warranty. The second was not and chev Corp refused to cover second replacement. Loop hole in warranty. This problem occurs about every 40,000 to 45,000 miles. I was told the service department is starting to see alot of this lately. Windshield wipers- they were working intermittently. The first time they went out it was on the freeway in a heavy storm. The dealer could not find a problem. It did not fail in their shop. It took two shops before they found the problem. It was some typr of loose electrical wiring. Not covered by dealer due to me being over mileage.

problem #7

Astro Van

  • miles
The windshield wipers on my van fail to operate about 50% of the time. I was told that this is a common problem with the Astro and that it was recalled in vans with certain VIN numbers. I do not understand why my windshield wiper motor has not been recalled. I never know when my wipers will work or not, which is extremely frustrating. Many times I've had to remain in my van until the rain stopped before I could drive home. Now, my vehicle is due for inspection, and because of my defective wipers, I am not able to pass inspection. I would appreciate it if you would look into this matter. I will have to spend an outrageous amount of money to replace a defective wiper motor which should be replaced by the Chevrolet company. Thank you.
