1997 GMC Safari SLT review from North America
"Money pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner blows cool only once in a while.
Wipers work intermitently.
Door locks work intermitendtly.
Power windows work intermitendtly.
Difficulty starting in damp weather.
General comments?
The biggest issue we've had with this vehicle is that it starts when it feels like in cold or damp weather. Replacing the distributor, fuel pump and ignition coil module have still not corrected the problem
The GM dealer has taken this vehicle in on several occassions including making an appointment with a "specialist". No one seems to know why it turns over, but will not start. Any suggestions? Reach me at jpannozzo@cogeco.ca Thanks!
