1 recall across 1 model year
The Pontiac Safari has 1 recall affecting the 1987 model year, where a faulty link in the 200-4R automatic transmission can separate and cause the gear selector to show a different gear than the one actually engaged, and the engine can start while the transmission is already in gear, causing the vehicle to lurch in an unexpected direction.
When the link fails, the driver has no reliable indication of which gear the transmission is actually in, and attempting to start or shift can cause sudden unintended movement forward or backward.
We may earn a commission for purchases made through these links.
