1993 GMC SAFARI ALL WHEEL DRIVE 7-PASSENGER STANDARD WHEEL BASE VAN WITH 42" TORSION BAR FRONT SPRINGS AND 182,000 MILES. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TORSION SPRING BROKE INSIDE THE ADJUSTER SLEEVE AT THE FRAME CROSSMEMBER, DROPPING THE DRIVER'S SIDE ONTO THE FRAME. WHILE THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, JUST THREE DAYS BEFORE I HAD USED THE VAN TO TAKE A TRIP WITH MY FAMILY ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. A FAILURE HERE WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE ORIGINAL SPRING DESIGN WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE, AND THE UPDATED VERSION COULD ONLY BE SOLD IN PAIRS(BOTH SIDES). IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF SUCH A CRITICAL COMPONENT AS THE FRONT SPRINGS ARE SO UNRELIABLE AS TO REQUIRE A COMPLETE RE-DESIGN, THAT A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *JB

Mileage: 182,000

VEHICLE IDLED AND STARTED ROUGHLY. ALSO, BLACK SMOKE CAME FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE UPON STARTING. THIS WAS CAUSED BY MALFUNCTIONING COMPONENTS LOCATED IN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. THERE WAS A TSB ON THIS ISSUE (NOT FOUND IN ARTEMIS). *AK

Mileage: 36,000

THE BRACKETS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRANSFER CASE, WHICH HELD THE FRONT AXLE IN PLACE. CONSUMER VERY CONCERNED ABOUT TRANSFER CASE DROPPING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.*AK *PH *JB

Mileage: 124,000

SIDEVIEW MIRROR SHAKES WHILE DRIVING. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THE MIRROR WOBBLED AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS AND WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. THE PROBLEM CAUSED THE IMAGE TO BE DISTORTED. (HEAD LOOSE IN HOUSING) REFER TO ODI# 1002432 *SCC *JB

Mileage: 3,086

EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS SPONTANEOUS SHEARING OF FRONT LEFT TORSION BAR. GMC MUST KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE COMPLETELY REDESIGNED THE TORSION BARS, REQUIRING A MAJOR RETROFITTING (AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE) OF THE VAN'S CROSS FRAME MEMBER. FORTUNATELY FOR US, THIS MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE SUSPENSION BROKE WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. OTHER REPORTS ON THE INTERNET DESCRIBE THE PART AS BREAKING WHILE DRIVING, INSTANTLY DROPPING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR UNTIL THE TIRE HITS THE WHEEL WELL AND THROWING THE CAR VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT.*AK

BRAKES PULSATE INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND WILL NOT STOP OR GRAB. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

I JUST SIGNED UP FOR THIS ON MY COMPUTER AND I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON THE ABS SYSTEM. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN # IS 99I006000 AND STATED THAT THE DEALERS ARE TO MODIFY THE COMPUTER PROGRAM WHICH OPERATES THE ABS UNIT. *AK

REPEATED BREAK FAILURE, THIS TIME TOTAL FAILURE CAUSED WRECK NOT INVOLVING ANY OTHER VEHICALS OR PERSONAL PROPERTY. VAN IS TOTAL LOSS.*AK
