One problem related to brake fluid leak has been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Astro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have 2- chevy Astro vans. 1-1998, 1-1999. The 1999 has corroded break lines and gas lines. The main break lines are corroded into. I was comming back from a long trip yesterday and I noticed that the breaks were soft. When I got home upon inspection I checked the break fluid and it was low. I filled it. I nooticed a puddle of fluid by the back tire. And looked, I discovered all of the break and gas lines were eat up with corrosion. Gm needs to take this as a very serious problem and fix it immediately. I could have been killed , or I could have killed someone if the breaks failed to hold. I inspected the 1998 Astro van to see if it had a problem to. And upon doing so discovered it is fine, no problems. I have pics of both vans the pics will show that my statement is true. I bought the 1999 van (the one with corroded lines) in the state of ohio. And I bought the 1998 van in alabama. I do not know why this is, but I know I am not the only one with a faulty gm product with corrosive break and gas lines. I am very thankful I discovered this before tragedy happened. This is a potential deadly problem, and gm needs to resolve this before someone looses their life, not after. Any help with getting this resolved is greatly appreciated! I just want to let unsuspecting gm owners know about this danger!.
