1995 GMC SAFARI — Complaint #950472

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS filed November 21, 2012

NHTSA complaint #950472 (ODI reference 10485562) concerns a 1995 GMC SAFARI and was filed on November 21, 2012. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 1, 2012. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:rear:springs, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC SAFARI cohort independently describe similar suspension:rear:springs failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1995 GMC SAFARI shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
