2000 Chevrolet Astro

CHEVY 2000 ASTRO, CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING. WE EVEN PUSHED THE VAN INTO A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT TELL US WHAT IT WAS AFTER HOOKING IT UP TO DIAGNOSTICS. WE FIGURED IT WAS THE COIL WIRE. RECENTLY THE VAN HAS BEEN BOGGING DOWN WHEN IT IS UNDER LOAD. ALSO, WHEN IT RAINS IT RUNS ROUGH. WE TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY REPLACED OUR FUEL FILTER. IT RAN FINE BUT STILL CUTS OUT SOMETIMES RUNNING UP HILL. SO WE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS. IF YOU LET THE VAN SIT OVER THE WEEKEND WITH OUT DRIVING IT, THE VAN WAS REALLY HARD TO START. UNTIL FINALLY IT JUST WOULDN'T START AT ALL. IN ADDITION THE DOOR LOCKS SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES DON'T . THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS VERY SLUGGISH GOING UP YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO HELP IT BY PULLING UP ON IT. WE KEEP BLOWING FUSES WHEN WE USE OUR CIGARETTE LIGHTER TO CHARGE OUR CELL PHONE. IT REALLY NEEDS HELP. *TR

THE SIDE WINDOW OF THE ASTRO MINI-VAN TILTS OUT AND IS SUPPOSE TO "LOCK" INTO POSITION. HOWEVER, AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH; THIS WINDOW SLAMS SHUT WITHOUT WARNING. ONE TIME MY SON HAD HIS HAND OUT THE WINDOW AND IT SLAMMED SHUT ON HIS FINGERS. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE "LOCKING" MECHANISM NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED SO THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN.*AK

THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, WE HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL AUTO GLASS DEALERS AND FOUND THIS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM,HOW CAN A MFG. PF ANY AUTO CONTINUE TO PRUDUCE THIS KIND OF SHODDY WORKMANSHIP AND CONTINUE TO SELL AUTOS? I USALLY GO TO THE SIDE DOOR AND WAIT FOR ME HUSBAND TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FOR MYSELF AND OUR SON IF I HAD BEEN STANDING NEAR THIS DAY WE WOULD HAVE BOTH BEEN INJURED BY THE EXPLODING GLASS! PLEASE DO ALL THAT YOU CAN TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED SAFETY OF ALL!! THANK YOU SALLY FISKE*AK
