I was pulled over by a police and given a ticket for no brakes lights. I knew that I had checked my brake lights periodically and they had worked. Took it in to be check out and found that the multi-function switch was not operating correctly. My mechanic stated that in the last 6 months that he replaced several of these. I called gmc and spoke with a gentleman and told him that I just paid $394 for this part and he stated that it was recalled and to send my receipts and I could get reimbursed. Now I got a denial letter stating that they are not going to give me my refund and I am very upset. $400 is a whole paycheck to me.
2001 GMC Jimmy lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Problems with my 2001 gmc jimmy have been numerous including ignition switch, wheel bearings, clanking noise, roaring noise, windshield wiper failure, windshield wiper hose failure, battery, A/C, and so on. Currently, my vehicle clanks approximately 15 minutes after turning off the engine and my A/C does not work properly at all times. Dealership consistently says "there's nothing wrong" however I have had the vehicle for 2+ years and I know my car.
While driving consumer brake lights were not working. Consumer heard about a recall took to dealer and dealer stated that they would check vehicle for recall. Please provide any further information.
The federal safety agency recall 01v364000/ manufacturer's recall 01073 for multifunction switch failure. Brakes lights have intermittently gone out. Brake lights did not illuminate to alert other drivers that vehicle was slowing down or stopping. For the multi switch the vehicle was taken in 3 times to dealer before recall was issued. Please add more information.
Brake lights have gone out twice. Co-worker having same problem with 2001 blazer.
I previously reported 2 other failures refr to odi number 748064 this time my dome light stayed on and would not shut off I pushed the dome override button several times to shut the light off when I did all of my headlights and dash lights went out. I had to use the override headlight switch to turn on my lights. We took it to the dealer and they ordered a new headlight switch. As of the present time they have replaced my turn signal switch, my ignition switch, and now will be replacing the headlight switch. I feel these problems could endanger other owners. Could someone please contact me and let me know if I am the only person who is having problems so I can tell if this is just my vehicle or are others having problems. Thank you, you may call during the daytime at my work. Again thank you for your help
At 12,270 miles we had no brake lights taken to the dealer and he replaced the turn signal and said that was the problem. That was in june. On july 6, 2001 the dash board lights flashed several times lighting all of the guages showing that the engine was not running, but it was still running. Engine light stayed on. Took the vehicle to the dealer who found multiple trans dtc's internal failure replace ignition switch and performed relearn. I am concerned that this vehicle will have more defects, please let me know if others are having the same problem. Thank you.
