1993 Gmc Safari Complaints

EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS SPONTANEOUS SHEARING OF FRONT LEFT TORSION BAR. GMC MUST KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE COMPLETELY REDESIGNED THE TORSION BARS, REQUIRING A MAJOR RETROFITTING (AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE) OF THE VAN'S CROSS FRAME MEMBER. FORTUNATELY FOR US, THIS MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE SUSPENSION BROKE WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. OTHER REPORTS ON THE INTERNET DESCRIBE THE PART AS BREAKING WHILE DRIVING, INSTANTLY DROPPING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR UNTIL THE TIRE HITS THE WHEEL WELL AND THROWING THE CAR VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT.*AK

BRAKES PULSATE INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND WILL NOT STOP OR GRAB. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

LAST INCIDENT WAS ON HIGHWAY BLOWOUT ON RIGHT REAR TIRE . WE HAD CHECKED AIR PRESSURE ON TIRES PRIOR TO TRIP AND WERE GOOD. FIRESTONE DEALER HERE IN MCPHERSON WHERE THEY WERE PURCHASED WOULD NOT WARRENTY THE TIRE BUT WOULD GIVE A SMALL DISCOUNT. WE ELECTED TO KEEP THE TIRE AND NOT TAKE THE DISCOUNT. IT'S AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. WE HAVE OTHER TIRES OF SAME KIND AND TYPE IN WHICH THE STEEL CORDS ARE SHOWING READY TO BLOW SO WE REMOVED THEM ALSO, THEY WERE ON ANOTHER TRUCK OF OURS. WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER TWO TIRES STILL AT THE DEALER WITH SIMILIAR PROBLEMS , THE DEALER HAS SENT IN A CLAIM TO FIRESTONE ON THEM FROM IN DEC. 2000. LUCKY FOR US WE ARE DOING VERY LITTLE HIGHWAY HIGH SPEED DRIVING. THE LAST BLOWOUT WOULD PROBABLY RESULTED IN A ACCIDENT IF WE HAD BEEN IN TRAFFIC.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VN11818087 TIRESIZE: LT245/75R1)

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

I JUST SIGNED UP FOR THIS ON MY COMPUTER AND I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON THE ABS SYSTEM. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN # IS 99I006000 AND STATED THAT THE DEALERS ARE TO MODIFY THE COMPUTER PROGRAM WHICH OPERATES THE ABS UNIT. *AK
