1990 Gmc Safari problems
The Chevrolet Astro is a van that was manufactured and marketed by the Chevrolet division of American auto manufacturer General Motors from 1985 to 2005. Sold alongside the GMC Safari, the Astro was marketed in multiple configurations, including passenger minivan and cargo van.
The Astro and Safari used a rear-wheel drive chassis; all-wheel drive became an option in 1990. For its entire production, the Astro and Safari were produced by Baltimore Assembly in Baltimore, Maryland; the vans would be the final model line produced by the facility. In total, approximately 3.2 million Astros and Safaris were produced from 1985 through 2005.
Background
The Astro and Safari were introduced for the 1985 model year as the first minivan from General Motors. While marketed as a response to the first-generation Chrysler minivans, GM selected a rear-wheel drive layout, sizing the Astro and Safari closely to the short-wheelbase Chevrolet G10 van. Similar to the Ford Aerostar, to reduce production costs, GM adapted light-truck powertrain components; engines and transmissions were sourced from the Chevrolet S-10, allowing for a towing capacity of up to 5,500 lb (2,500 kg).
Prior to its use on a minivan, the Astro nameplate was used twice by General Motors; in 1967 (for the Chevrolet Astro 1 concept car) and from 1969 until 1987 (on the GMC Astro COE semitractor). GMC sourced the Safari nameplate from Pontiac (used by the latter to denote station wagons). As GMC was half of the Pontiac/GMC Division (later including Buick), from 1985 through 1989, both GMC and Pontiac Safaris were simultaneously offered through the same dealership network.

My family has owned this vehicle since we bought it new in 1989. I recently took ownership when I got my driver's license and I must say, it's a great vehicle! It's powerful and perfect for passing on the freeway. What's more, it's incredibly reliable. With 91,000 miles on it, the only issue we've had is with the piece of plastic that holds the dimmer switch in place. It handles great and is even easier to park than my mom's Pontiac Bonneville. It has plenty of room for all my friends, and the seats are super comfortable. Plus, the air conditioning is ice cold! Overall, it's a fantastic vehicle that gives me absolutely no problems.

I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to say that I'm glad your fiance is okay after the recent car accident. It's amazing to hear that the van he was driving saved his life. It's clear that your family has a special connection to that van, and I'm happy to hear that you plan on getting another one. It's great to see such loyalty to a brand like GMC. Take care!

I purchased this van brand new from the dealer as a family vehicle. I mainly used it for grocery runs and taking my kids to school. Unfortunately, I experienced some issues with the vehicle. The bucket seat broke at 14K miles, costing $305.61 to repair. At 23K miles, I had to replace the distributor cap and rotor for $116.90. The electric door locks stopped working at 29K miles and required a repair cost of $45.34. Later, the sliding door came off the tracks, which cost $197.28 to fix. The catalytic converter had to be replaced at 50K miles for $569.95. Unfortunately, the engine blew at 57K miles. I reached out to GMC Corp. to see if they could assist with the repair cost, but they denied my request. While I am disappointed, I understand that GMC cannot always back up their products. Thank you for your time.
