  Love Our Van - 1994 GMC Safari
  By Steve W. - June 18 - 2:00 am

  What a great vehicle! Bigger than a minivan but not as big and lumbering as a fullsize. Ours now has right at 150,000 miles and weve had very few problems. Had to replace the AC compressor at 62K miles, and other than that, have just performed regular maintenance. This is the second Safari weve owned and both have been trouble- free. When the time comes to replace ours, I know well be buying another Safari.

  When A Minivan Just Wont Do ... - 2002 GMC Safari
  By Roadapple - June 10 - 2:00 am

  This is AWD Safari #2 for us (the 97 got a bit tired at 137k), and its a great family vehicle for long trips, especially in bad weather. No other AWD van has this much room, and especially cargo room, even when traveling with a full load of 8 people. We put 35k+ miles a year on this vehicle, and its tough enough to take it -- wouldnt buy anything else, especially for the money. Only flaw is front end offset crash test results -- could do much better.

  GMC= Garbage Motor Company - 1990 GMC Safari
  By Tony Rodriguez - June 7 - 2:00 am

  I bought this van brand new from the dealer as a family vehicle.I only drove it to the grocery, and to take my kids to school 14K the bucket seat broke$305.61.At 23K the dist.cap and rotor had to be replaced $116.90. The next year 29k the electric door locks quit working and had to be $45.34.Later the sliding door came off the tracks$197.28.The cat.conv. had to be replaced at 50K ,$569.95. Finally with 57K the engine blew .I asked GMC Corp. to participate on a portion of the repair cost but was denied I guess I cant really blame GMC for not backing up their product.I wouldnt stand behind it either.

  Ill never buy another GMC - 1990 GMC Safari
  By Antonio - June 5 - 2:00 am

  I bought this van brand new and have had nothing but trouble with it. The sit adjuster, door lock switch, and window assambly broke within the first three years(non cover by warranty). The sliding door came off the tracks by year five. I had to replace the engine at 57000 miles. GMC has refused to participate on any of the repairs. I would never buy another GMC again.

  Give and take - 1999 GMC Safari
  By Rowe - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Major Safety concern - no door ajar light/ alarm for doors other than driver side door and even then, door has to be completely open. We have driven with door ajar several times. Have had many water leakage problems with all doors. Not much room for taller drivers. Rattle at slow speed but service department can not fix.

  Safari: The Un-Minivan - 2002 GMC Safari
  By Tahoe086 - May 12 - 2:00 am

  The Safari is a Mid-Van so I wont have to say its a Mini-Van any way...the V-6 offers great power for a minivan and the towing compacity is great and needed...I am also pleased to note that it is Rear wheel drive which is AWESOME!!

  LemonMobile - 1998 GMC Safari
  By bmxpro789 - May 4 - 2:00 am

  If you are considering buying a Safari van my advice to you is DO NOT BUY THESE VEHICLES. GMC bought back my vehicle under the Lemon Law. It stalled in reverse, it would stall going forward while driving leaving you with no brakes. At 12,000 I had to replace the altenator after it got me stuck in an intersection. The a/c compressor started making noises. at 56,000 the fuel pump, fuel sender and fuel neck went bad. It would have cost me $950 without warranty. Always buy a warranty. The batery went bad at 18000 miles to.These cars are evil and all the dealer can tell you is "We cant find the problem" This is wha you get after paying $29,000 for these things.
