Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 GMC JIMMY THAT HAS HAD A HISTORY OF BRAKE PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASE. IN AUGUST OF 2005 WE EXPERIENCED "PULSATION" OF THE BRAKES. OUR MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THE ABS SYSTEM SENSOR IS ACTIVATING A LOW SPEEDS. WHEN WE TRY TO STOP IT ACTIVATES AND CAUSES INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 1999-2002 GMC TRUCKS AND SUV EXCEPT JIMMY'S. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT HAPPENING TO OTHER JIMMY'S. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM GOING TO SEE IF THE DEALER/GM WILL PAY FOR IT. I SURE HOPE SO. I BET THAT GM DID NOT RECALL THE JIMMY BECAUSE IT SOLD THE MOST OF THAT VEHICLE !*JB
