  DRIVING IN HEAVY RAINS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY WIPERS JUST STOPPED. I HAD TO BREAK HEAVY AND GET OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAITED UNTIL THE RAIN SUBSIDED AND THEN DROVE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THEY WORKED OKAY AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MILES STOPPED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND I DON'T KNOW IF AND WHEN OR HOW LONG THEY WILL WORK. *NM

• 12/23/2005· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  I HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO ANY ACCIDENTS, BUT I'M AFFRAID I WILL. THE RECALL OUT THERE RIGHT NOW HAVING TO DO WITH THE ABS AND BRAKE SYSTEM, I FEEL THE SAME IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT SINCE IT'S A 1998 WITH 96000 MILES ON IT, NO ONE WILL HELP ME OUT. MY VEHICLE DOES THE EXACT SAME DESCRIPTION THAT THE RECALL DESCRIBES. I UNFORTUNATELY CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AT THIS TIME AND IT'S PRETTY SCARY HAVING TO DRIVE OUT THERE KNOWING THAT IT'S POSSIBLE I MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS PRETTY DISAPPOINTED THAT GMC WOULD NOT HELP IN SOLVING THE ISSUE. EVEN JUST TO HELP OUT IN THE COST A LITTLE BIT WOULD BE HELPFUL. *NM

• 12/19/2004· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY,SEATS

  NOTED ISSUES WITH MY 98 JIMMY (PURCHASED 12/97)THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR WHICH I BELIEVE WERE DEFECTIVE PARTS: 1) 10/00 MILEAGE=57248 REPLACED FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH DUE TO DASH BOARD LIGHTS NOT WORKING 2) NOT REPAIRED TO DATE: WIPERS HAVE HAD OCCASIONS THEY DID NOT WORK. I USUALLY CAN GET THEM WORKING BY TURNING THEM ON/OFF A FEW TIMES. INTERMITTENT MODE TAKES A LONG TIME(3-10 SECONDS) TO START RUNNING IN BEST SCENARIO. 3) BOTH FRONT RECLINING SEAT LEVERS BROKE OFF(BRITTLE METAL ROD)WITHIN FIRST 3 YEARS OF USAGE. I HAVE NOT REPLACED DUE TO COST OF REPLACING COMPLETE SEAT ASSEMBLIES IS ONLY FIX. 4) 12/04 MILEAGE=129,518 THROTTLE CHOKE PLATE ASSEMBLY DISINTEGRATED PARTIALLY AND JAMMED THROTTLE OPEN. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS COULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING. AFTER BROKEN PIECE WORKED ITS WAY PAST THE VALVES I NEEDED $1900 IN CYLINDER HEAD REPAIRS. *JB

  FRONT WHEEL BEARING

• 12/14/2004· SUSPENSION

  WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE VIBRATED AND A ROARING NOISE WAS HEARD. CONSUMER, STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE PREMATURE WEAR OF FRONT WHEEL BEARING. CONSUMER REPLACED THREE SETS OF FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WITHIN 70,000 MILES OF WEAR. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED.*AK

• 12/14/2001· LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

  BOTH OF THESE LATCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY. AFTER TALKING TO OTHER JIMMY OWNERS AND DEALERS, WE FIND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *AK

  UPPER BALL JOINT FAILURE. THE BALL JOINT BROKE, CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO UP UNDER THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING. OWNER HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

• 12/12/1999· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. GAUGES WOULD FAIL,AND ALL DASH GAUGE LAMPS WOULD LIGHT UP. STOPPED AT DEALER AND ASKED IF THEY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT IF IT WASN'T FIXED AT ANY TIME IT COULD GO,AND I WOULD BE STUCK. WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION, IT WOULD FAIL TO START AND ALL THE GAUGES WOULD FAIL. THE PROBLEM IS WITH A BAD GROUND IN THE ELECTRICAL ASM BEHIND THE KEYLOCK AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $500 TO FIX. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A CALL BACK.I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS HARD TO COME BY BECAUSE THEY HAD TO PURGE INVENTORY OF THE OLD PART.IF THE NEW UPGRADED PART IS SO HARD TO GET I WOULD SUSPECT THAT THE PROBLEM IS LARGER THAN IS BEING LET ON.AT THIS POINT I HAVE A RENTAL, WAITING FOR THE CAR TO BE FIXED.THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE FORD RECALL WITH THE IGNITION SWITCHES THAT CAUSED FIRES ONLY THEY SAY THIS PROBLEM WON'T CAUSE A FIRE. BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF IT GOES WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS,OR ANY SPEED AT THAT MATTER?

  CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR PROBLEM. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM. *AK

• 12/08/2003· VISIBILITY

  DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROLLER BOARD, 1998 GMC JIMMY. THIS ITEM WAS RECALLED ON ALL SIMILAR SUV'S FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND ENDED IN 1997. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THOSE NOTED IN THE RECALL FOR THE PREVIOUS MODELS. INTERMITTENT FUNCTIONING OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. OFTEN THE WIPERS FAIL TO OPERATE AT ALL. WIGGLING THE SOCKET CONNECTOR ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WILL RESTORE FUNCTION FOR SHORT DURATIONS (1 TO 2 DAYS AT MOST).*AK

• 12/08/1999· POWER TRAIN

  TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER SAYS THAT SOME STICKY SUBSTANCE WAS SPILLED IN THE CONSOLE BY THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ASSY TO LOCK UP. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS SPILLED IN THAT AREA WAS A COVERED CUP FILLED WITH SWEET TEA THAT TIPPED OVER THE CUP HOLDER. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE LIQUID COULD'VE LEAKED UNDERNEATH THE CONSOLE AND CAUSE MY TRANSMISSION TO FREEZE UP. PEOPLE DRINK IN CARS ALL THE TIME, AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THIS IS A DEFAULT WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONSOLE. BECAUSE IT LOCKED UP MY TRANSMISSION, MY VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE AND COULD HAVE PUT ME IN A SERIOUS RISK WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD OR PARKED IN AN UNSAFE AREA. FORTUNATELY THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT MY PARENTS HOUSE AND THERE WERE NO INCIDENTS. *AK

  THIS MAY NOT BE A HUGE COMPLAINT OR IMPORTANT. NONETHELESS, I OWN A 1998 GMC JIMMY. I READ THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY TRUCK. MY QUESTION IS, HOW CAN I GET MY TRUCK LOOKED AT OR FIXED WITHOUT ANY COST TO ME? *NM

  I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS MOOT, BUT I THOUGHT I'D ALERT YOU TO A PROBLEM I HAD IN THE PAST. I HAD INTERMITTENT FAILURE WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS FOR MY 1998 GMC JIMMY, VIN = [XXX]. I NOTICED THERE HAD BEEN A WIPER RECALL FOR GMC'S WITH OTHER YEARS, BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR OR MY VIN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY WIPERS WERE NOT RECALLED. I ENDED UP GETTING THE WIPER MOTOR REPLACED, BUT THAT COST ME OVER $200.00. MY OLDER BROTHER ALSO DRIVES A 1998 GMC JIMMY AND HE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS I DID I AM FILING THE COMPLAINT AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IRRITATES ME THAT GMC REFUSED TO PAY FOR MY REPLACEMENT. A FEW TIMES MY WIPERS WERE NOT WORKING WHEN THERE WAS AN EXTREME DOWNPOUR. *AK UPDATED 07/24/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK SOMETIMES WHEN ITS DRY OUT. NEVER WORK WHEN RAINING OR DAMP. RECALL STOPS AT 1997 FOR GMC JIMMY, BUT I HAVE A 1998 AND HAVE PROBLEMS. RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE 1998 AND ANY OTHER YEARS THAT HAVE PROBLEMS. YOU WOULD THINK THAT GENERAL MOTORS WOULD HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO. IT SEEMS AS THEY ALMOST DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. *LA

  ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON INTERMITTENTLY. SUV ACCELELERATE SLOWLY, RPMS REACH 3000 BEFORE VEHICLES MOVES. INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF, INCLUDING THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR. OVER HEAD DASH LIGHT WON'T WORK. TOOK MY SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A FRIDAY 11/09/01. ALL PROBLEMS WERE OCCURING AT THAT TIME AND THEY COULD SEE FOR THEMSELVES. I WAS INFORMED THE THE DIAGNOSISTIC TEST SHOWED 5 TRANS CODES. AND THAT WIRE TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOOSE AND THEY RECONNECTED THAT WIRE AND ALL CODES WERE NOW CLEAR. THE VERY NEXT DAY MY SUV BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM ON MONDAY 11/12/01. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE CAUSED BE A WIRE LEADING FROM MY IGNITION TO TRANSMISSION. AND THAT I MIGHT NEED AN IGNITION SWITCH. AND THAT TO DO THE WORK IT WOULD COST ME $400 TO $500. AND THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK THAT THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEMS. THERE ARE TIME THAT I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I HAVE READ OVER 12 SIMULAR COMPLIANTS & INCIDENTS. GMC NEED TO REPAIR THESE MALFUNCTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURIED. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDER SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE MY SUV WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. AND TO BE DRIVING ALONG AND SUDDENLY HAVE YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILS, THIS IS DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE. ALSO, MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD. S.O.

VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND SO BAR WAS REPLACED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE RECLINE BAR BROKE A SECOND TIME APPROXIMATELY 3-4 YEARS LATER. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE RECLINE BAR ALSO BROKE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR AFTER THAT. BECAUSE THE SEAT WAS IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION WHEN THE RECLINE BAR BROKE ON ANY OF THE OCCASIONS, HAD THE SEAT BEEN IN A RECLINED POSITION, THE SEAT POSSIBLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN USABLE.

I'M WONDERING WHY AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET IT TO. THERE IS SOMETHING WITH THE SENSOR AND CORRODING IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT MAY BE MY PROBLEM. I HAVEN'T FIXED IT YET BECAUSE I WAS HOPING IT WOULD BE UNDER THE RECALL. WHAT HAPPENS IS IF THE LIGHT WERE TO COME OFF, MY BRAKES LOCK UP. IN THE RECALL, IT MENTIONS THAT THIS SENSOR GETTING CORRODED CAUSES SLOW TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO ANY ACCIDENTS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT WOULD BE UNDER THE RECALL BEFORE I HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED. *NM
