Known issues on the 2016 Savana 2500. Six owner complaints are on the federal record for the 2016 van, half of them about steering and the rest split between the power train and the electrical system. Steering on a loaded three-quarter-ton van comes down to linkage condition, fastener torque and hydraulic assist pressure, and each of those has a specification and a diagnostic sequence here.
