Hatchback/liftgate Lock Problems of Chevrolet Astro

Door handle on right rear dutch door of our 2000 Astro van broke suddenly when trying to open door. While the dutch door feature is operationally very handy, the door design always had a flimsy feel to it - so we always used great care when opening and closing. After it broke, we found the NHTSA #634576 with similar complaints, so felt obligated to add to your list.

Malfunctioned rear hatchback door for a 1999 chevy Astro. No manual overide/release from the inside of the vehicle like a trunk release lever on other vehicles. This is a concern as well as a hazard if the only option to exit was thru the rear hatchback door. It was also of great incovenience to get a disabled persons equipment out with the rear hatchback door inoperable.

Left side of rear hatch will not unlatch/open.

I have a 1998 Chevrolet Astro. The rear hatch will not open. I had it at the dealer twice for this problem. Now it is out of warranty it has failed again. This is an obvious design flaw. I'v herd other complants about the same problem. Is there anything I can do about this. Thank you randy.

My rear hatch door of my 2000 Astro van will not open. All of the locks on my van are not working as they should but at least I can use the inside door handles to get in and out. The hatch has no inside door release so in case of an accident I would never be able to get myself out of the back if that were the only way out. Also, if you are braking and hit a bump the brakes will not work. I have had several close calls because I could not stop the van because of a bumpy intersection and the brakes not holding.

Unable to open the hatchback from inside of vehicle due to hatchback not having a release button. Dealer notified. . .
