GMC Savana owners have reported a total of 554 problems for their cars built in the 26 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the GMC Savana. The 2000 GMC Savana cars have the most problems reported (78 problems).
The following chart shows the 25 most common problems for GMC Savana cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's service brakes, hydraulic (122 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's structure (45 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the GMC Savana of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Savana model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a GMC Savana model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the GMC Savana is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
