What owners report
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS THE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL NOT START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE GAS SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED, NEW COIL AND DISTRIBUTOR, OIL, AND STILL IT STOPS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD TO PARK THEIR JIMMY DUE TO THE UNSAFE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, THE JIMMY HAS BEEN TO 3 DEALERS WHO CHARGED A LOT OF MONEY BUT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM.
THERE ARE 8 DIFFERENT SERIOUS SAFETY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE THAT I WAS NOT INFORMED OF. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 GMC JIMMY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND THE AIR WOULD ONLY FLOW OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD VENTS, NOT THE DASHBOARD PANEL VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP TO BE REPAIRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. DURING SOME OF THE FAILURES, THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY AT LOW SPEEDS ONLY. THE CONTACT ALSO PERFORMED REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE HIMSELF BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000. UPDATED 01/19/11 *BF UPDATED 03/28/11
TORQUE BAR SPLIT AND FELL OUT OF VECHICLE WHILE DRIVING IT. *TR
UNINTENDED ACCELERATION: WE HAD A 1995 GMC JIMMY THAT TWICE HAD A "STUCK" ACCELERATOR, SPEEDING UP WAY BEYOND THE SPEED LIMIT; ONCE IN GILLETTE, WY RETURNING FROM A TRIP EAST, AND LATER THAT SUMMER AT HOME NEAR LA GRANDE, OREGON. I HAD TO LITERALLY "STAND" ON THE BRAKE TO BRING IT TO A STOP BOTH TIMES, THEN AT MY HUSBAND'S DIRECTION, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WE WERE FORTUNATE BOTH TIMES THAT IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO STRAIGHT ROADS AND LITTLE TRAFFIC, JUST SCARING US BOTH TO DEATH. WE REPORTED IT TO POLICE THE 2ND TIME. GMC DEALERS IN EITHER LOCATION SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, WHICH WE TRADED IN 2004. *YT
