1995 GMC Safari LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning compressor (twice)
Anti-Lock brake failure
Windshield Wiper control module failure.
General comments?
I generally tolerate American cars small problems, and make the appropriate repairs, this van stands out of a major failure of General Motors to address their responsibility. The windshield wiper control module was a recall for many of their vehicles, but not this one even though this model had a problem. This nearly killed my family when the wipers stopped on a freeway during a rainstorm. The problems with the brakes caused two rear end accidents, and some injuries, and the dealers just diverted their eyes, and said that they had no way to repair this problem. I know it would have been costly to acknowledge this problem, buy it could have saved lives, and in the end helped GM's credibility and bottom line.
Very poor job GM!
