1994 GMC Safari LX review from North America
"A pretty piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A.C. unit went bad first week I had it.
One year later still not right.
Failed to start on the second day I had this van. It has been back to the dealer several times for this problem. They say it always a bad battery. The battery has been changed three times in seven months. The van has failed to start every morning so far this week. I purchased a extended service plan for this piece of junk and dealer does not seem to want to honor it.
General comments?
This is really a nice looking van. How ever it breaks down on almost a daily basis.
I want my Mirage back. Had it six years and only problem was one flat tire and nothing else.
