1998 GMC SafariVisitor, Auburn, CA, July 15, 2011 19:29Bought this van brand new in May, 1998. Lots of problems with the injectors. Had them replaced under warranty. Always having misfires. Also problems with the gas cap registering in the computer as not being on right even tho I crank it on at every fill up. This is my camping vehicle and it has 81,000 miles on it. Other then those issues this car handles good and drives a straight line down the highway. On vacation this summer and pulling a hill in Maryland the car lost power and had to get towed to a dealer. It needed a tune up which manufacturers book says it should have one at 100,000 miles. Mine got it at 77,000 miles. Paid the bill and not one issue all the way home to California. Still love this car...Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

1998 GMC SafariVisitor, Saint Petersburg, FL, July 09, 2011 10:31My van was originally from Michigan, and its undercarriage shows a lot of the effects of rust form salt used on the winter roads. In the five years I've had it I've replaced the starter, brake master cylinder, air conditioner compressor and hoses, timing belt, fuel filter, spark plugs, brake line (due to corrosion/rerouted to save $$ due to route through tight compartment), replaced the tires and had the fuel system and cooling system flushed. Next on the list is changing the driver's side window motor, having the brakes done and changing the wiper switch (it's intermittently intermittent). Despite all of that, I like this van and feel comfortable with my wife driving it with my five kids.Flag ThisLike0

1995 GMC SafariVisitor, Cambridge, IA, March 22, 2011 11:24I bought my Safari for $750.00. I put a new alternator, battery, water pump and brakes on it and I have had no major issues with it. I love it! This is the second one I have bought and for me there is no better van.As long as you do proper maintnance on it is a very reliable van.Flag ThisLike0

1998 GMC SafariYork, Pinellas Park, FL, November 09, 2009 02:50Bought this van with 197,000. Sometimes the wipers don't work, I use rainx, the left window is slow going up, only if you put it all the way down. At 207,000 it does not use oil, for me it is a perfect van.
