Review Summary

AI summary of user-generated reviews for this vehicle
The van is generally considered reliable, with good performance and ample interior space. However, some reviewers have experienced issues with build quality, including thin exterior panels, paint problems, and issues with components like door hinges and air conditioning. The van also has poor fuel economy, especially the gasoline models, and a few owners have had repeated problems with the powertrain and all-wheel-drive system. The design has also been criticized for a cramped driver's footwell and the placement of air conditioning lines.

Had to replace it after only 103,000 miles. No warranty after 100,000miles. Towed it to 3 shops. It cost over 6,000 dollars..at 145,000 the negative wire that runs from battery to gas tank rotted out. The guy at shop told me it's common.that cost me close of 1000 dollar fix and towing. So buying anew van doesn't pay.30,000 for van and 8000 for repairs ..WONT BUY GMC NO MORE!!!

2006 GMC SAVANNA G1500 Conversion Van
Pros

Beautiful vehicle, runs, drives Great, Good gas mileage for a full size conversion van

Cons

None

I bought my used in 2023 in like new condition, no rust Very Well maintained by the garage l have taken my other vehicles to for many years. So l knew she was Taken care of with average miles, like new tires l paid a Pretty penny for her. But l believe she will last me a Good Many more miles. Its hard to even find a full size conversion van today because of those SUV Things. I had looked for a few months for a full size conversion van and just happened to check FB Marketplace that day. When l saw she was in the town l grew up in l Knew she was mine.

2022 savana passenger
Pros

Power

Cons

None yet

Just received in July. Runs great. Exterior is about as thin as a Pepsi can. I think they could spend a little extra on protection under wheel wells. They have winner in this Van if they just add a little more quality parts to it. Just a little disappointed for $50,000!. I will write another review in about a year

I enjoy my van. It is fun to drive.
Cons

needs new tires

Most of the miles have been long distant miles to visit family. The family has decided that it is time for a change in our vehicle.
