1996 GMC Savana Cargo G1500 3dr Van
I was very excited to purchase this
vehicle but my excitement didn't last
long. After 5000 miles I began to have
doubts about fit and finish quality
(many rattles,wind noise,bad knobs).
The fuel pump failed after 30000
miles. Rotors were poor quality and
had to be replaced after 50000 miles.
I've never had problems like these
with any vehicle before. Transmission …
went after 80000 miles. Most of all I
didn't get the impression that anyone
at GMC was concerned as long as they
had their money. I was fooled into
buying from this company once but it
won't happen again.
