CarComplaints.com Notes: Is the 2001 Safari going to win any beauty pageants? Probably not. But it's reliable, can fit a ton of stuff (and tow a bunch more). Good luck finding a used one with reasonable mileage, however.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
At slow speeds the ABS activates and the vehicle is hard to stop. The Sierra van uses the same components as the trucks that were recalled by 05V379000 on 8/3/05. The problem is the same with dirty speed sensors.
The consumer is experiencing problems with the brakes. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and had the vehicle inspected. The dealership told the owner they added 3 ounces of brake fluid. The vehicle worked fine until the owner tried to park the vehicle. There were no brakes, again. Brake fluid was not the problem. Provide further details.
Brakes faulty. Brand new pads installed last week all around adjusted and dealer claims all is well but problem still exists. It takes an extreme amount of force applied to the pedal to stop this vehicle, noticed at 35K. Dangerous and not easy to get used to. In addition, windshield leaks on the top drivers side and the rear right door handle is failing on back dutch doors now at 65K. Also, both power door actuators on the drivers side and the passenger side failed completely at 34K.
When the brakes were applied, it took longer for the vehicle to stop. The consumer stated the vehicle vibrated to the point where the windows rattled when the brakes were applied. Also the power steering pump shaft was replaced.
