Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
1) engine- vehicle would not decelerate from hwy speed, even though operator was not touching the gas pedal. I had to put in neutral,then shut off engine to stop vehicle. This was after I was forced to go through a red traffic light. 2) brakes- in the same situation, the brakes suffered a complete failure, with no power-assist, forcing the vehicle through a red traffic light.
My 93 jimmy exhibits behavior as identified in the federal safety agency campaign id # 94v093 and 99v193. For 94v093, the vehicle lunges forward when started and a transmission specialist identified the problem (checked at 70k miles) as a worn low and reverse clutch. For 99v193, my ABS seems to work only when in 4wd. I contacted gmc and was told my vehicle was not included in the campaign. I don't understand why my vehicle has the same problems but the VIN was not included in the campaign?
