What 1994 GMC Safari owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When coming to a stop vehicle would not stop when pressing on brakes. Consumer took vehicle to dealer 3 times, and dealer said that was the way ABS worked. When getting of freeway and trying to apply brakes, it feels like there is a 2x4 under brake pedal, can't push brake down.
Moving in traffic at 20 MPH. Hit brakes for quick stop and van did not stop. Hit car in front of us. *ak *nlm **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*734314
Moving in traffic at 20 MPH. Hit brakes for quick stop and van did not stop. Hit car in front of us.
I was traveling at approximately 25 MPH when I passed a slight dip in the road and there was a very loud bang resembling an explosion and the front drivers side of the vehicle slammed to the ground. The drivers side torsion bar snapped! It was very fortunate the timing of the incident happened when it did, as we had just left the mass turnpike and were traveling at speeds of 65 MPH. If this had happened on the highway there is no question that there would have been a very serious accident endangering the lives of myself, my family and the lives of other persons. This is clearly a defect in the material the tortion bar is made of, and I fear the other side may be defective as well.
In wet/ snowy and icy conditions ABS braking system malfunctions, causing extended stopping distance which may result in a crash. Dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem.
When driving on a slick spot vehicle was hit. When consumer applied the brakes, the anti-skid system engaged. Wheels began to slide and turn on the slick spot, and vehicle did not stop. Dealer has been contacted.
When applying brakes there is a noise present. Abs kicks in, and vehicle does not stop. Dealer has seen vehicle over 5 times, and no solution found.
Two different times I have came to a stop light and the brakes did not work. The brake pedal would pump back at my foot, but would not stop the wheels. It almost caused an accident both times.
Before ABS sensor light came on, vehicle was experiencing problem with brake pedal pulsating whenever brakes were applied intermittently. Can the federal safety agency provide additional information.
