1998 GMC Safari review from North America
"Roomy and power, but with few defects"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission between 1 and 2 gears, kicks, slips.
Licking from differential, even gasket changed, still.
Wears badly the door handler inside, driver side.
Engine stalls for a second, computer doesn't get it.
Engine stalls, seems when hot weather.
Vibration underneath, much more evident at 100 Km/hr.
Air fan inside slips very often.
Air fan outputs are killers when air conditioner on.
When rains water accumulates in the floor, inside.
Rust in the right side of the lifting door in the back.
General comments?
It' s nice car, roomy and I love the sliding door.
Love the back lifting door separated by the lower one.
Smooth driving over long distances.
Has power and is nice to drive.
