2000 GMC Van review from North America
"Nice van... nice doesn't pay the repair bills though"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Security light came on 84000 Kms. Air bag light came on same time. Van would mysteriously not start. My wife found if you left it in Neutral you could bypass the electrical problem and start it. Dealer says this was a parking switch problem and replaced at $350.00.
Van mysteriously looses fuel and other gages when brakes are applied, yet once you accelerate again everything lights back up...?
I am about to take it in and have it looked at, but I am confident that there are some serious electrical issues at play. Mechanically, the van has been performing well.
General comments?
I am concerned about the electrical system, these types of things aren't easy to troubleshoot, and the dealers think that they need to spend your money finding their design flaws...where's the logic in that?!
Cup holders are a bit of a joke.
