Consumer Description

MY 1996 GMC JIMMY HAS HAD BALL JOINT PROBLEMS (UPPER AND LOWER REPLACED AT 40K, 79K), ABS PROBLEMS (RECALLED TO CHANGE S/W, FAILED AT 80K) AND WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEMS (INTERMITTENT FAILURES AT 80K). ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE HAD RECALLS, BUT WHEN I CONTACT GMC THEY TELL ME MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED (VIN [XXX]). WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS IF MY CAR IS FAILING WITH THE EXACT PROBLEMS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL NOTICE, THEN THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD THEN GM IS WILLING TO ADMIT. *NLM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
