I have a 1998 chevy astro van that qualifies for a expired warranty for gm that IS related to a defect in their fuel injection system that causes them to stick open or closed. I was never notified by chevy about this problem and was not properly diagnosed by a mechanic until this year. The bulletin/warranty number IS: 99066e and it states that all repairs relating to this problem would be covered no charge to the vehicle owner as long as it's within 10 years or 200,000 miles. So, I'm 3 years out of warranty and I have 217,000 miles. It doesn't seem right that chevy never contacted me about this and I've had to pay for numerous repairs related to the fuel system in this vehicle over the years without that could have been avoided if I had my fuel injection system fixed. These vans are known to run up to 450,000 miles. The operation of my vehicle IS vital in this economy. I really would appreciate this warranty extended to me. I have contacted chevy/gm and they just read the warranty back and deny me repair or tell me to get it fixed at the dealership. Why should I have to pay for a repair that there IS a warranty that states that they are at fault and it's related to fuel deposits in california fuel? *tr

I have a 1998 chevy astro 2WD we bought with 23K mi. In 2000. roughly 2 years ago we had all new brakes (head to toe, front & back) installed again. we have had nothing but issues with our ABS mainly when traveling under 15 mph, when you try and stop it grabs heavily or sometimes almost not at all. just last year we had the front brakes re-done again and still the problem persists. I have seen many other complaints on the web for this type of issue. we only travel 12-14k miles a year with the vehicle and most of the driving IS on country roads. we notice it the most when we are dropping the kids off at school or picking them up or pulling into or out of the garage. the jerking action has caused major front end assembly damage to the van where we had to replace most of those pieces as well. after dumping almost $2200 into the van and still have the same issue, this IS why I am filing this complaint. this should be a recall issue, cause it IS dangering the lives of my family and other around us. I believe it IS a bad sensor. We will also file a complaint with the attorney general of illinois lisa madigan as this IS more than just one incident across the u.s. feel free to call or email me asap as we don't know where to go from here. if the economy was better we might of just went to buy another van but we are like the rest of america at this point and see no point in trying to get rid of a vehicle that performs well except for the ABS. we have records of all work done to the van and will share if need be. dissatified vehicle owner tom k. *Tr

While slowing to a stop at about 2 mph on dry pavement, the vehicle's anti-lock braking system started rapidly cycling, no brakes were grabbing because of the rapid cycling, the engine started to race slightly, and the vehicle was headed for either two pedestrians or a building. to stop the vehicle, I placed the transmission in reverse and the vehicle came to a stop. after another brake attempt the brakes responded. I went to an isolated street with some ice and dry pavement, and this anti-lock braking failure occurred in 1 out of 5 braking attempts. I never received an anti-lock warning light and the system completed its self tests properly on each engine start up. I removed the 60 amp fuse to disable the system and I am not sure I can ever trust this system again. *Jb

When a complaint was filed with the wholesale supplier williams tire (of 3995 dorchester road, charleston, sc. 843-554-0700 fax=5541334) they stated they have not had any other complaints---but they confused me with someone else who had also complained---leading me to realize that there have been other complaints about this matter.

My wife was driving our 1998 chevy astro van in a heavy rain in heavy traffic near washington d.c. Last week. she turned the wipers on. the wipers randomly worked and didn't worked and it almost caused a very serious accident. this random "work/doesn't work" even has started happening more frequently since about 4 months ago. in doing research on the web, apparently gm knows about this problem but will not accept responsibility for the circuit board problem.

Dt: the consumer stated that her windshield wipers fail intermittently. they came on when the consumer didn't need them, but when she needed them they wouldn't come on. this has happened in two astros that the consumer has owned. The first one was a 1995 chevy astro van and the second one IS a 1998 astro van. the windshield wipers and motor to the wipers had to be replaced. The owner was told by a service technician that gm replaced the motor on the wipers on the models before the owners van. There IS no recall on the 1998 vans. This has been a problem since 2003. The owner has not had this looked at by a technician. the owner stated that she usually she pulls over to the side of the road, pops the hood and taps on the windshield wiper motor to get the wiper to work, and most times this works. the consumer has not talked to the dealer but has talked with gm. The person at gm said that since there was no recall there IS nothing that they can do. The owner just keeps tapping on the windshield wiper motor to correct this problem. The owner IS taking her van in for recall work on the side mirror tomorrow. she IS going to ask about the windshield wipers and show them the complaints that have been filed on the windshield wipers from the nhtsa. *nm

Comments: I read where nhtsa has started an investigation into this problem. I have a 1998 astro AWD pasasenger van with the same symptoms (started at 50,000 miles, currently has 67,000 miles. I pulled the fuse so I at least have brakes at slow speeds. I nearly ran into my garage and am concerned becauase we live near railroad tracks. have rolled into intersections beacause of this safety problem. ABS engages at slow speed which allows vehicle to keep going (renders to brajes useless) there IS a tsb by gm on this shown below. my concern IS that this vehicle IS not listed in your investigation. this IS a serious safety issue. brakes - antilock brake activation at low speeds file in section: 05 - brakes bulletin no.: 02-05-25-006a date: december, 2002 technical subject: antilock brake (ABS) activation at low speeds (clean wheel speed sensor mounting surface) models: 1999-2000 cadillac escalade 1995-1999 chevrolet silverado (old style) 1995-2000 chevrolet suburban, tahoe (old style) 1995-2003 chevrolet astro van, blazer, S10 1995-1999 GMC sierra (old style) 1995-2000 GMC yukon, yukon XL (old style) 1995-2001 GMC envoy, jimmy 1995-2003 GMC safari van, sonoma 1995-2001 oldsmobile bravada this bulletin IS being revised to change model information.

Windshield wipers failed to operate at times when switched on. when they did operate, the wiper high speed function would not work. this IS the identical problem that existed with my 1996 chevrolet blazer. the blazer was subject to a recall for a faulty wiper control module, which fixed the problem. both vehicles use the same type of wiper control module, which appears to lose a connection on the module.*ak
