CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2003 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 2003 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.
I BROUGHT MY FIRST CHEVY ASTRO IN 88 IT WAS USED IN GOOD SHAPE FOR AN 85 BUT IT GAVE ME ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF OK THIS IS JUST A LEMON AND DUMPED IT AND BROUGHT A 97 ASTRO IN 2000 AGAIN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS THE REAR DOOR HANDLE SNAPPED ON BOTH VANS SEVERAL TIMES WHY THE HELL IS THIS PART NOT RECALLED??????
