Power steering failed, drive shaft in pump broke, causing brakes to fail. No accident. Vehicle was being backed out of parking space. Vehicle towed to garage and repaired with new power steering pump installed.

Replaced carburetor, ignition coil and rotor. Steering fluid pump leaks, rust coming through paint, doors do not lock manuallyand can not open back hatch.

A/c/heating: rear heat went out and had to be rewired engine: the water pump went out and had to replace it, that was covered by warranty. But still has a front oil leak some where in the front. Other: I heard a grinding noise while going down the road I took it in to the dealer I bought it from and they looked it over and said nothing was wrong. Shortly after warranty ran out the transfer case went out so we had a used one put in and it only lasted four months now it sits in the garage there should be something to do about the transfer case they should last longer. Brakes: been having trouble with the abs brakes since we bought it took it in to a dealer and they said nothing was wrong with it. I ended up doing the brakes and found they had cracked pads causing the noise in the brakes. Found out that all wheel drive is not what it is made out to be, I have had a lot of issues with this 1997 GMC Safari all wheel drive van.
