| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Door handle broke inside the door assembly. i know of several friends that have experienced the same problem with this same type and year vehicle. somewhere both handles have broken. when i contacted several gmc dealerships and spoke to their service managers, all stated in one form or another that this is a common problem as the metal used in the manufacturing of the broken part is the cause. the repair ranges from $100-150. i further have read e-mails and articles in the newspaper and web sites(www.cars.com) of many others having this same problem. this vehicle is primarily driven by my wife. gmc should make a recall of this clearly obvious, manufacturer defect immediately. i am worried that the handle will possibly break not allowing her to get into her vehicle in an emergency situation. in 1995 we paid over $20,000 for this van as it was a top of the line van. it is simply rediculous that a door handle part does not last but 50,000 miles. furthermore, since i am finding countless others that have and are having the very same failures of all gm makes and models of minivans of this period. *ak |
