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.

Brake lights would not work. After a few hours of troubleshooting, I isolated the problem to a defective hazard switch. If pushed to the left, the brake lights worked. I plan on trying to fix it tomorrow, but saw that there is a recall on 2001 and 2002, but not on 2003. My van was built in late 2002. No doubt it has the same defective switch. Very dangerous situation can occur on the updated 01/02/08.
