Description of the problem | 1997 gmc safari complete power failure which negates power steering, power brakes, and is a danger to me and my family! I never know when the power will go out. It has gone out on at least 10 occasions since i purchased the vehicle. Also, the transmission "slams" into gear on occasion at no specific interval. There can be several days seperating the incidents; no logical pattern. I have taken the vehicle to martin cadillac in los angeles at least 4 times to have these problems fixed and so far they have been unable to duplicate the problems and make the fix. |
