rev up your engines anybody who's ever own one of these Savannah vans for any
like the time they know they were poorly made yeah all kinds of problems
they had brake rotors that would even prematurely crack now they've been using
brake rotors for a long time again with GM they're just making them too cheap
and they're cracking and they're having braking problems serious stuff and you
got a cargo van loaded with cargo if you want to do a little research yourself if
you don't believe hold Scottie here do a research on all the recalls that the
savana vans have had these cargo vans and you're gonna be amazed at all the
recalls they have and recalls of course are forced by the government only one
not people complain they look into it and they got a lot more problems than
just these recalls but the large list of recalls in and of themselves are telling
you these are not well-made cargo vans the power steering systems had problems
with the line separating spraying fluid all over the place which of course is a
fire hazard there are problems with the parse steering hydraulic pumps not
working right the shafts having problems now let's face it
power steering has been around a really long time the whole idea behind it is
relatively simple you got a pump that runs off the fan
belt it builds up a lot of pressure up to like 1,500 psi pressure pushes that high
pressure fluid to the power steering rack which then pushes hard when you
turn one way or the other the only reason they're having problems is
because they're making them too cheap we're trying to save money using
inferior products inferior manufacturing techniques then they come and bite you
in the rear end if you buy one I've worked on I often turn into electrical
nightmares all the stuff like the power locks start to break because they got
cheaper wiring and they're open to corrosion things that hey shouldn't be
happening they've been making vehicles long enough that you think no the
electronics we're up the to subject to corrosion stuff that could easily be
prevented if they built them right in the first place one of my favorite repairs
that I had to often do they don't have the greatest working room either
working on yes these things are notorious for developing intake gasket
leaks so water and oil mixes which of course can destroy an engine now in most
cases when you get oil and coolant mix it's the head gasket leaking which is
what most mechanics are gonna look for but in this case it's the intake
manifold gasket assembly that leaks and again they've been making intake
manifolds and gaskets and engines since Model T Fords you'd think they'd be able
to design one correct through the use of all these plastic parts to make them
cheaper they have more problems with things leaking because of the difference
in the thermal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal somehow they have
been able to figure out how to make plastic engine heads because the Pistons
are going up and down inside and the valves are in the head opening and
closing they out of metal they'd make them out of plastic if they could I read
they've even tried but of course they melt and they cracked so they're still making
the heads out of metal but if you've got a plastic intake manifold bolted on
top and your engineers don't know what they're doing as the plastic expands
that contracts differently than the metal the gaskets go bad and that's the
problem they have with these not a cheap fix especially if you don't notice it
and you get too much water in your oil and it ruins the bearings in the engine
then you need the whole engine rebuilt not just an intake manifold gasket
you want a solid reliable work machine you don't want something that falls apart
before its time, so if you never want to miss another one
