1997 GMC Safari brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
No brakes, no power steering. Is such catastrophic failure common at 40.832 miles?
Right front caliper locked up resulting in numerous repairs including alignment, new tires and idler arms replacement at my cost. All under 30k miles!!!
Abs braking system malfunctioned, causing the wheels to lock up and the vehicle to skid, which may have resulted in a crash. Please provide further information.
While driving steering system malfunctioned, and the vehicle experienced no braking ability. Driver had to apply the emergency parking brake in order to stop the vehicle. Currently, vehicle at the dealer. Please provide further information.
While braking vehicle goes to left side and shakes, causing poor braking performance, and may result in a crash. Been to dealer several times and cannot determine the problem. Please provide further information.
Idler arms should not go bad at 36k miles. The dealer where we purchased has been sold. The problem was discovered when we took the vehicle for pa state inspection (annual). Obviously the idler arms did not go bad from mile 36000 to 36900. We are still within the three years and only over the mileage by 900 miles. But the dealer we took it to would not cover the problem, and charged $525.44 to replace front brakes and idler arms.
Alternator failed twice.
