Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2018 GMC Savana Passenger 2500 VAN RWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions.

It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"my 2018 van is an explorer conversion with 13000 miles on it. it was taken to gmc for repairs for what the tech is calling a "death wobble". basically the van at unpredicted times gets into a rough shaking in the front end that forces you to stop. this happened while braking going down steep grades (5%+), also turning onto a sloped road and again just traveling on a hilly road without and use of brakes. dealer found that 3 of the 4 rims which were installed by explorer conversion vans are warped or bent. the tire size installed is 20" which is different than the stock size of 16". the current tires are pirelli scorpion verde 265/50/r20. the van has only been driven on standard road and never collided with or ran over any object in the road. unknown at this time if replacing the wheels will fix the issue due to issues obtaining replacements. bigger concern is 3 out of 4 wheels failing under normal road conditions and use."
