Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The power window on the driver's side does not work. I was told by a Gmc mechanic that the motor is broke and would have to be replaced. The cost would be $120.00 for the motor and $180.00 for labor (a shaky way for Gmc to make a profit). The vehicle is only 3 years old. I've heard of other Gmc Safari's with this same problem (recall?). Thanks for your help. I look forward to your reply.”
NHTSA complaint #753305, filed 2001-10“Vehicle has been experiencing ongoing problems within a 12-month period.

Feel free to provide further details.”
