Loss of brake action due to instant fluid loss. Brake line ruptured due to extreme and isolated corrosion in brakeline located area of gasoline tank (forward of rear axle on driver's side.) no notice or prior events leading to failure. Have noted many internet complaints of this nature and location on both gmc safari and chevrolet astro vans and silverado light trucks - year and/or mileage not a factor. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 1991 gmc safari. The contact noticed that the abs warning indicator consistently illuminates on the instrument panel. Secondly, when applying pressure to the brake pedal, the vehicle skids. He is in the process of notifying a dealer in reference to the failures. The failure mileage was 174,000 and current mileage was 175,000. Updated 04-23-09 *bf updated 04/24/09.*jb

1991 safari hood came up while driving and shattered the windshield. *ts *jb

Numerous complaints identical to those experienced by other owners of this vehicle type. Twice now when applying brakes in a panic situation the abs system failed and warning light came on. Replaced ecu on brake system once now dealer informs that is must be replaced again at a cost of $1200. I believe this is an extravagant maintenance expense every time you need the anti-lock portion of the braking system. Also had to replace front drive shaft due to failure, must replace idler arms every two years due to failure and also had to replace the electrical connecters on the blower switch due to overheating and melting the switch. *nlm

I was travling at about 60 miles and hour when the a piece of the tire out sideway. The size 12 inches x 8 inches blew out of the tirer hitting the car nex to me. I have never seen a tirer have such catastrophic failure the side wall is missing a piece from first out side thread to the rim bead by about 12 inches long. The tirer exploded is the best way to describe it out of no ware on smooth dry road way. Blowing the piece out into the passing lane hitting a car in that lane. The piece was not recovered. Dt

Driver's seat belt buckle will no longer latch. *ak

While consumer was driving transmission dip stick popped off, and transmission fluid was all over windsheild. Transmission was not working aftrerwards. Contacted dealer ,and was not willing to do anything.*ak

No summary listed for above vhicle.*ak

Whenever brakes are applied vehicle would be thrown into another lane. First, brakes on driver's side, would lock up. Took to dealer & mechanic repaired entire brake system. The problem has reappeared & was informed its the abs. *ak
