1994 Chevrolet Astro ext review from North America

"Worst car ever had stay away from"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front drive shaft replacement.

All wheel drive transfer case bearing replacement.

Front cv drive shaft replacement both sides.

Transmission tail shaft assembly.

Front torsion bar broke smashing the front end to the grond both had to be replaced.

Calipers started sticking when applying brakes it would throw the car into other lanes of traffic so both had to be replaced.

Rotors and pads.

Complete steering arm assembly all of the bushings wore out.

Starter.

Shocks front and back twice.

Water pump and belts and hoses.

Left turn signal won't snap back because of electrical short causing small fire in steering colume.

This is a "w" code engine which means this has multiport fuel injection which has had to be replaced 3 times and very exspensive.

Special internal fuel lines to the injector.

Engine coil.

3 in the tank fuel pumps.

Exhaust system.

Exhaust donuts 1 year after system replacement.

Master fuzable link shutting car down.

Water control valve in heater lines.

Front grille cracked out needing replacement not from any accident just from closing the hood.

2 batteries.

General comments?

This is an all wheel drive mini van we bought from a dealers used car lot. It has a vibration in it and still does no mechanics are able to fix it.

Tires would always go flat because of aluminum rims so steel rims were put on with the 3rd set of new tires one set of tires were destroyed having the rims re-sealed too many times destroying the rubber.

No back yard mechanic can tune this car no engine compartment room to even replace spark plugs.

I paid $7500 for this car and in 3 years I have had $8000 in car repairs need I say more

there are more things I just can't remeber all of them every 2 weeks it needs repair it has put me in the poor house.

Just now as I am typing my wife came in and said it won't start again.
