1997 GMC JIMMY Engine And Engine Coolingenginegasoline Problems

THE DEALER KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECTS TO THIS VEHICLE AND REFUSED TO FIX THEM AFTER RECEIVING 3 SEPARATE ESTIMATES. 2 DAYS AFTER I REPEATEDLY WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THESE SAFETY HAZARDS THE DEALER CONTINUED TO REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS AND I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE DEALER COMPLIANCE BOARD HAS A CURRENT CASE AGAINST THE DEALER AND HE HAS ONLY AGREED TO TAKE HIS VEHICLE BACK. THE DEALER HAS REQUESTED THE DAMAGE FROM THE MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT NOT BE FIXED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DAMAGE PRIOR TO THE SALE WAS SO EXTENSIVE FROM WATER OR FLOOD DAMAGE THAT THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY RUINED. IT WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS. MY FEAR IS THAT THE NEXT UNSUSPECTING CONSUMER WILL BE DECEIVED BY THIS DEALER AND THIS VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE THE NEXT PERSON WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY. I SHOULD BE DEAD...

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED SMOKE IN THE ROAD AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHEN HE OPENED THE HOOD, THERE WERE FLAMES ENGULFING THE ENGINE, CONSUMER THEN CLOSED THE HOOD AND MOVED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT (10-89-383). *YD

ENGINE CRANKS FINE BUT FAILS TO START. ONCE STARTED IT WILL CONTINUE TO START UNTIL IT SITS FOR 2 HOURS OR MORE. DEALER FOUND NO CODES STORED. THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED FOR 7 MONTHS.*AK

THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS. IN ONE INSTANCE, IF I HAD NOT BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBLITY OF THIS OCCURING I WOULD HAVE PANICED AN D BEEN BROADSIDED!
