1992 GMC Safari XL review from North America
"It's a tank that can handle the road."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Difficulties with the vehicle include:
Gage Lights went out.
Replaced headlights several times.
Front Seats starting to tear.
Motor in seat went out.
Handle to center console broke off.
Driver's door handle falls off.
Gas tank hinges to car rusted, gas door flips open.
Starter went out right after I purchased the vehicle.
General comments?
Although everything listed above that's gone "wrong" with the vehicle, it's very reliable in bad weather conditions. My seats are comfortable, and everything on the Safari has been easy to change. They're a fun to-do project. Also, the Safari is good for a first-time driver, they're unable to accelerate quickly.
