CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002 Chevy Astro Van has a solid reputation with very low complaint rates. The only problem now is finding one with low miles.
Not only is the 2002 Astro Van reliable, but since they were built on a truck powertrain, they can tow 5,500/5,000 lbs (RWD/AWD) -- almost double what other minivans can.
The Chevy Astro is mechanically identical to the GMC Safari.

While vehicle was being driven.the alert warning light for the air bags illuminated. I was afraid to drive the vehicle due too the air bag inflator might rupture or underinflate. In the event of a crash. An underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant. This scenario increases the risk of serious injury or death.
