1995 GMC Safari review from North America
"Too many breakdowns, don't recommend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The throttle control sensor had to be replaced. The EGR valve needed replaced. The water pump needed replaced. The tires wear quickly. Its in the shop more than its on the road.
Now the battery won't hold a charge. I have owned Dodges, Chevys that were all old vehicles, but this is clearly the worst vehicle I have ever owned as far as break downs.
General comments?
The van uses too much gas. Comfort wise its enjoyable, but I always have to worry about the next breakdown. It don't go very far without the next problem creeping up. I had to buy a jump start box because it had died a number of times. It goes great in the snow.
