(1) THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION. (2) I CAME TO A DEAD END STREET AND HAD TO TURN AROUND, I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I MANAGED TO GET TURNED AROUND BY PUSHING THE TRUCK. THE TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO NOT SHIFT INTO THE SECOND OR OVERDRIVE GEARS. I CAN ONLY DRIVE IN FIRST AND THIRD GEARS. (3) I HAVEN'T REPAIRED THE VEHICLE.*AK

THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS STATED IN RECALLS 01I018000 LOWER BALL JOINT; RECALL 03V159000 WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR, AND TRANSMISSION. RECALL NUMBER UNKNOWN. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR BECAUSE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. *AK THE DEALER REPLACED THE LEFT LOWER BALL JOINT DUE TO A CRACKING NOISE. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE SNOW, THE CONSUMER WASN'T ABLE TO USE THE 4WD BECAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INTERMITTENT, A LOUD CRACKING NOISE HAD COME FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THAT THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD A LEAK AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. *SCC *JB

WE HAD THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE HIGH REPAIRED 1 1/2 YEAR AGO, THEN IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE HIGH AGAIN. THEY FOUND ANOTHER PART WHEN OUT IN THE MOTOR CAUSING IT NOT TO GO INTO THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE HIGH. EACH TIME IT COSTS US $700 OR MORE FOR THE REPAIRS. WE ALSO HAD TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION LAST YEAR, WHICH COSTS US $1600 TO REPAIR!*AK

I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT THE ENTIRE 1996 GMC- JIMMY SERIES MADE NEED TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THE OWNER HAS TO MANY REPAIRS TO BE DONE ON THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICES ENGINE LIGHT COMES VERY OFTEN TO INDICATE REPAIRS ON THE TRUCK AND THEIR ARE TO BE PROBLEMS WITH THIS 1996 JIMMY. I SUGGEST A TOTAL RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE AND THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. IT HAS A VERY BAD BRAKING SYSTEM ABS.*AK
