1991 Gmc Safari problems
The Chevrolet Astro is a van that was manufactured and marketed by the Chevrolet division of American auto manufacturer General Motors from 1985 to 2005. Sold alongside the GMC Safari, the Astro was marketed in multiple configurations, including passenger minivan and cargo van.
The Astro and Safari used a rear-wheel drive chassis; all-wheel drive became an option in 1990. For its entire production, the Astro and Safari were produced by Baltimore Assembly in Baltimore, Maryland; the vans would be the final model line produced by the facility. In total, approximately 3.2 million Astros and Safaris were produced from 1985 through 2005.
Background
The Astro and Safari were introduced for the 1985 model year as the first minivan from General Motors. While marketed as a response to the first-generation Chrysler minivans, GM selected a rear-wheel drive layout, sizing the Astro and Safari closely to the short-wheelbase Chevrolet G10 van. Similar to the Ford Aerostar, to reduce production costs, GM adapted light-truck powertrain components; engines and transmissions were sourced from the Chevrolet S-10, allowing for a towing capacity of up to 5,500 lb (2,500 kg).
Prior to its use on a minivan, the Astro nameplate was used twice by General Motors; in 1967 (for the Chevrolet Astro 1 concept car) and from 1969 until 1987 (on the GMC Astro COE semitractor). GMC sourced the Safari nameplate from Pontiac (used by the latter to denote station wagons). As GMC was half of the Pontiac/GMC Division (later including Buick), from 1985 through 1989, both GMC and Pontiac Safaris were simultaneously offered through the same dealership network.

Common 1991 Gmc Safari problems
The 1991 GMC Safari is a popular vehicle, but like any other car, it has its share of common problems. Here are some of the most frequently reported issues based on complaints from owners.
- Slipping Transmission: One of the most common problems with the 1991 GMC Safari is a slipping transmission. The most common cause of this problem is a low transmission fluid level. If the fluid level is low, it can cause the transmission to slip, leading to difficulty changing gears and a loss of power. Check for signs of leakage around the transmission and refill the fluid to the appropriate level if necessary.
- Flickering Instrument Panel Lights and Intermittent Exterior Lights: Another common problem with the 1991 GMC Safari is flickering instrument panel lights and intermittent exterior lights. This problem can be caused by a faulty wiring harness or a blown fuse. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to replace the wiring harness or the faulty part.
- Power Steering Failure: Power steering failure is another common problem with the 1991 GMC Safari. This problem can be caused by a leak in the power steering system or a faulty power steering pump. If the power steering fluid is low, it can cause the power steering system to fail, making it difficult to turn the steering wheel. Check for signs of leakage around the power steering system and refill the fluid to the appropriate level if necessary.
- Air Conditioning Failure: Air conditioning failure is also a common problem with the 1991 GMC Safari. This problem can be caused by a faulty compressor or a leak in the air conditioning system. If the air conditioning system is low on refrigerant, it can cause the system to fail, making it difficult to cool the vehicle. Check for signs of leakage around the air conditioning system and refill the refrigerant to the appropriate level if necessary.
- Engine Problems: Engine problems are also common with the 1991 GMC Safari. These problems can be caused by a variety of issues, including faulty spark plugs, a dirty air filter, or a clogged fuel filter. If the engine is running rough or stalling, it may be necessary to replace the spark plugs, clean or replace the air filter, or clean or replace the fuel filter.
These are just a few of the most common problems with the 1991 GMC Safari. If you own one of these vehicles and are experiencing any of these issues, it's important to have the problem diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the vehicle.

Hi there! I just wanted to share my experience with my car. I bought it brand new and have put over 300,000 kms on it, and it's still my daily driver in 2022! I make sure to get regular oil changes every 5000km and change the tranny oil every 3 years. The only major expense I've had was replacing the front gear and transfer case. Overall, I'm really happy with how reliable this car has been!

My family has owned this vehicle since we bought it new in 1989. I recently took ownership when I got my driver's license and I must say, it's a great vehicle! It's powerful and perfect for passing on the freeway. What's more, it's incredibly reliable. With 91,000 miles on it, the only issue we've had is with the piece of plastic that holds the dimmer switch in place. It handles great and is even easier to park than my mom's Pontiac Bonneville. It has plenty of room for all my friends, and the seats are super comfortable. Plus, the air conditioning is ice cold! Overall, it's a fantastic vehicle that gives me absolutely no problems.

I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to say that I'm glad your fiance is okay after the recent car accident. It's amazing to hear that the van he was driving saved his life. It's clear that your family has a special connection to that van, and I'm happy to hear that you plan on getting another one. It's great to see such loyalty to a brand like GMC. Take care!
