WE WERE GIVEN A 1992 GMC JIMMY BY MY FATHER, AND ALONG WITH THE CAR CAME ALL THE CORRESPONDING PAPERWORK. INCLUDED IN THE PAPERWORK WAS A "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" FROM GMC DATED MAY 2000, RECALL # G99041-S. THIS LETTER DESCRIBES AN ABS BRAKE FAILURE RESULTING IN ABNORMAL STOPPING DISTANCES AND THE REQUIRED REPAIRS. WHEN WE GOT THE CAR, I ASKED MY FATHER IF THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AND HE STATED "THAT WHEN HE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN APPOINTMENT THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE RECALL SO THE REPAIR WAS NOT PERFORMED". SINCE WE'VE TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, WE'VE EXPERIENCED A BRAKE FAILURE AS DESCRIBED IN THIS LETTER AND WISH TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THAT GMC HAS INDICATED. I'VE TRIED CALLI
THIS 1992 GMC JIMMY WAS GIVEN TO ME BY MY PARENTS MR AND MRS R E DEARRINGTON. FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT I RECIEVED IT AND WASHED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME THE BACK WINDOW WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER ENCLOSURE IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT. VERY ANNOYING, INDEED. WHEN IT RAINS OR THE VEHICLE IS WASHED THE ENCLOSER OF THE WIPERS HOLDS WATER AND THE MOMENT THADT YOU OPEN THE BACK WINDOW IT DUMPS THE WATER RIGHT INTO THE VEHICLE ONTO THE CARPET, AND IT STAYS WET UNTIL IT STINKS UP THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WITH MILDEW ROT OR IT DRIES OUT, STILL LEAVING THAT MILDEW ORDER IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAD SOME WAY OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. SINCERELY, BOBBY
